How do i keep my products online but i do not want the price to be displayed, and nor do i want to sell anything for now on there. I would just like for my products to show online.

When an item sells out or is no longer in stock, it will not be available for purchase through your Square website, @JM7. If you set your stock to 0 for an item, the item will still appear on your website, but customers will not be able to add it to their cart.

Once your stock is at 0, you'll see something like this - notice that the Add to Cart button text is unclickable:

I want to have a product on my site that actually just points to an external link on another site.
I want the Add to Cart to link to the real product on a different site.

I'm ok if there isnt even a button and I could just insert a link into the description of the product.

I have an affiliate program with a site and don't want to handle payments on Square and just want it to go straight to the vendor.

Does anyone know how I can set this up on my site?

Hello there @evanhp

At this time, this feature isn't possible on Square Online Items. However, with Square Online Plus you can use the Embed element and use an HTML link to point to this third-party site you are affiliated with.
