There are General Settings and Product Settings under Call for Price for WooCommerce Pro plugin.

We shall discuss these in separate posts but in this post we will understand how to set custom price label for Simple products.

Simple Products
↑ Back to topThe Call for Price plugin provides two levels of configuration:
- General Settings let you control when the Call for Price functionality is applied, such as for products with empty prices, specific user roles, product categories, or other conditions.
- Product Types let you control how the Call for Price functionality is displayed for each WooCommerce product type.
The Product Types section allows you to configure Call for Price settings separately for each WooCommerce product type. This is useful when you want different contact methods or display labels for Simple, Variable, Grouped, and External products instead of using the same configuration across your entire store.
To access these settings, navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Call for Price → Product Types → Simple.
Default Simple Products page
Let us understand all the settings under this product type in detail:
a. Enable/Disable
↑ Back to topThe Enable/Disable option controls whether the Call for Price functionality is applied to Simple Products.
This option is enabled by default. When enabled, you can configure the contact method and customize how the Call for Price label is displayed across different areas of your store.
If disabled, none of the settings under the Simple tab will be applied to Simple Products.
Tick the checkbox to enable settings
Once this setting is enabled, you can choose the Call Type.
This setting allows you to choose a Contact channel for the selected product type, which defines how customers can contact you (for example, via phone, WhatsApp, email, or a custom link).
Based on the selected Contact channel, you can configure the required details in the fields below. For example, selecting Email will require an email address and subject, while selecting WhatsApp will require a WhatsApp number.
To know how each available Call Type works, refer to the Call Types for Call for Price documentation.
