Feature Request: Flexible Product Pricing for Consultation-Based Services

Feature Request
I'd like to propose a feature that would greatly enhance how we offer certain products/services, particularly those requiring a custom quote after a consultation. Currently, when creating a product, we're required to set a fixed price. For services that are highly tailored or project-based (e.g., advanced consulting, custom software development), a static price doesn't reflect the nature of the offering. My suggestion is to implement a way to create a product without a direct, visible price, or with an option to display "Price on Consultation" (or similar text) instead of a numeric value.
How Would You Use This in Upmind?
Here's how I envision it working: "No Price" or "Consultation Price" Option: When creating or editing a product, there could be a checkbox or a dropdown option for pricing that allows us to select "Price on Consultation" (or "Custom Quote Required"). Display on Storefront: If this option is selected, the product's page on the storefront would display "Price on Consultation," "Contact Us for a Quote," or a similar custom text, instead of a price amount and the "Add to Cart" button. Alternative Call to Action: Instead of "Add to Cart," this option could automatically replace it with a button like "Request a Consultation" or "Get a Custom Quote." This button could then link directly to: A specific contact form (perhaps one we've already created in Upmind's Forms section). A pre-defined consultation booking page (e.g., an external Calendly link or an internal Upmind booking form if such a feature were developed). Backend Handling: When a customer clicks this "Request a Consultation" button and submits their details, it would create an inquiry or lead within Upmind's CRM/Leads section, rather than a 0-value order. This would streamline lead management for these types of services.
What problem does this solve for you?
Benefits of this feature: Improved User Experience: Customers clearly understand they need to consult for pricing, avoiding confusion with 0-value purchases. Better Lead Management: It would allow us to differentiate between standard product orders and consultation-based inquiries. Enhanced Service Offering: We could more accurately represent complex or bespoke services in our product catalog without forcing a generic price. Reduced Manual Workarounds: Eliminates the need to explain that a 0-value purchase is just an inquiry, and reduces unnecessary 0-value order processing
