Which price to set, if there is not (yet) a price?

Question

In Magento it is not possible to set a price = 0.

But there might be cases where data is not yet complete (when developing a shop) - or products are not for sale (i.e. some custom block is displayed)

What is a reasonable value to set as price?

I think a very high one if more secure than 0.01 ?

Answer 1

You can't leave the price field blank because your product will not pass a JS validation but putting a "0" should work fine.

Otherwise you have some customisations which are not allowing to do so.

Answer 2

For now I will use 88888888.88 and made a config class to define & return this price.
