He came with an expectation about product value and quality. Then the big question that comes right after is the price. Affordability is not just how many he has in the wallet, it is how the product itself offers a good reasonable price, in comparison with its own value, and with the price of alternative products out there. Therefore, customers know the product prices of the store, they are likely to come to all the other stores to check the price. That is why Call for Price is indispensable for some high-competitive businesses

Hide price for products with ever-changing value

In fact, the product prices are always changed. It may be changed in marketing strategy, pricing policy… For some businesses, it is not wise to public product prices.  The price can change, so the administrator has to update the price. It deals with a large amount of workload. So a great solution for this is setting the price hidden, encouraging the customers to click for finding more about the products’ price. 

Draw customers’ full attention to the product value

Without showing the price, customers can feel the value of the product. It helps buyers focus on product value, quality, and function. Hiding the price can make customers focus more on product features. Summary, it shows how outstanding is your product, let customers feel satisfy all requirements. 

It is additionally conceivable that now and again when the cost appears, the client promptly finds that he can not manage the cost of it (or is farther than his arranged venture), the expectation to purchase will be dispensed with immediately. The value stowing away can urge clients to contribute more opportunity to sort out the item esteem, prior to considering its cost and make the genuine buy.

#1: Hide the Add to cart button

In some cases, collecting products into the cart is not the topmost expectation of the store owner.  It may display upcoming products, but they are still unavailable. Some just display all products on category but actually, they are not-for-sale. The product is used for sale or as a gift for another one, or just sale in combo/deal., the add to cart button should be hidden. 

#2: Popup request form

A request form will show in the format of a popup, suggesting the customers to fill in before asking product prices. It is important for wholesalers because it is a chance to ask for a bigger order as well as make a negotiation before the real purchase. For example, a store owner asks for 100 products with a high discount and free shipping. 

#3: Redirect to CMS page

It allows the admin to redirect the function of call for a price or get a quote button. It will navigate to a new page. In this way, the store owners can drive customers to a detailed page with better services. Maybe, there are internationally distributed products that need to be linked to the distributor in the customer's location. 

#4: Request login for price

With this function, customers have to log in to see the price. It is used widely in professional online stores. By this way, the price will be visible to users who are really interested.
