Use CubeCart for Mostly a NON eCommerce Site?

[Varptr]

We are looking to put together a site which will mostly be descriptive of fitness courses available.

There will be the opportunity to book on a course using the eCommerce features of CubeCart but most of the site will not involve items for sale, it may not even require the concept of a "basket".

Is is possible to design pages which do not involve products from a catalogue and if so, what is involved?

Thanks for any help.

Welcome Varptr! Glad to see you made it to the forums.

CubeCart has three major aspects: products, categories, and documents. Each can contain a large amount of information.

For all the skins I have seen, however, the documents are listed in a footer area which implies they are for ancillary purposes: Terms of Service, Refund Policies, Contact Info, Shipping Disclaimers, etc. To make these SiteDocs Titles more prominent, the skin would need to be customized.

One can also create significant information for categories, and not even have products associated with them. The Category List shows up in a prominent place, and they can have subcategories, like "Further Reading" from the main subject.

Hi Varptr!! CubeCart has catalog only mode which switches off the ecommerce aspect.

You can always use this plugin https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/manage-site-document-location which you can use to determine which position each site document is shown (can be one or more).
