Does anyone Know how to have a product available to purchase by anyone but not have it easily accesable from the storefront. That way just certian people I send a link to could land on the product for purchase. And that they may not yet be customers registered yet.

Off the top of my head - what about making them a normal product but not associated with any categories?

Then you can just give the direct link out.

cheers

Can't you form a URL to the product detail page for the specific product?  If the product is active, and a member of a category that is set to not show in the store, you should be able to pull up the product.  That's exactly what I do for testing things when we need to create a product with special characteristics for a mod I'm working on.

How do you get the url for the product?

I did try to add it to a category, get the url, then hide the category.

When I go beck to the url that I had it says the category is no there, and no
product.

maybe you have some insight to this, Thank you.

well, here is a demo store.  Note that a category called "hidden" which DOES exist DOES NOT appear
http://pc3x.demos.greybearddesign.com/pc3apparel/pc/viewcate gories.asp

This product is assigned to that category:
http://pc3x.demos.greybearddesign.com/pc3apparel/pc/viewPrd. asp?idproduct=540

I formed the URL by clicking the "preview in your storefront" link and removed the "&adminPreview=1" from the resulting URL.
