Getting started with Price Quote for WooCommerce

Price Quote for WooCommerce adds a “Request Quote” flow to your store. Instead of buying directly, a shopper adds one or more products to a quote request, sends their contact details, and you reply with pricing. It suits wholesale, custom-order and B2B stores where the price is negotiated rather than fixed.

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”
  • WordPress 5.0 or higher.
  • PHP 7.2 or higher.
  • WooCommerce 4.0 or higher, installed and active. WooCommerce is a hard dependency: if it is not active, Price Quote deactivates itself and shows an admin notice.

Install and activate

Section titled “Install and activate”

  1. Upload the woocommerce-price-quote folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install it from Plugins > Add New.

  2. Activate it from the Plugins screen.

  3. On activation you are taken to the plugin’s Overview screen, and two pages are created for you automatically:

    • a Quote request page carrying the [products_to_quote] shortcode, and
    • a Quote history page carrying the [my_quoted_products] shortcode.

    If you later delete one of these pages, the plugin does not silently recreate it. You either pick a different page in the settings or add the shortcode to a page of your own.

Where everything lives

Section titled “Where everything lives”
  • WB Plugins > Price Quote is the plugin’s home in the admin menu. It has three tabs:
    • Overview - counts of quote requests by status, with each figure linking to the matching filtered list.
    • General - who can quote, button wording, display controls, and the two page pickers. See General settings.
    • Quote Requests - every submitted request, with filters, export and per-request actions. See Managing quote requests.
  • WooCommerce > Quote Requests is a second entry point to the same Quote Requests screen.
  • WooCommerce > Settings > Emails is where the two notification emails are configured.

First steps

Section titled “First steps”
  1. Open WB Plugins > Price Quote > General.
  2. Choose a Quote Mode - all products, or a hand-picked selection.
  3. Decide whether to hide prices or the Add to Cart button, and which user roles may request quotes.
  4. Confirm the Quote request and Quote history pages are set.
  5. Visit a product on the front end and check the quote button appears.
