WB Plugins > Price Quote > General

This is where you choose which products can be quoted, what the quote button says, and where a shopper lands after using it.

Quote mode

Section titled “Quote mode”

Two choices:

  • All Products - every published product can be quoted.
  • Selected Products - only the products you pick.

With Selected Products chosen, a search box appears underneath. Type at least two characters and matching products are listed; hold Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) to pick several, then press Add Selected Products. Each product you add appears as a chip below, with an x to remove it.

The search asks the server for matches rather than listing your whole catalogue, so it behaves the same on a store with five products and a store with fifty thousand. If you see “Showing the first 30 matches”, type more of the product name to narrow it down - the product is there, the list is just capped.

Add to quote button label

Section titled “Add to quote button label”

The Add to quote button label field

Whatever you type here replaces the default Request Quote wording on product and shop pages. Leave it empty to use the default.

Two related fields sit just below it:

  • Remove from quote label - the wording on the remove control in the quote list.
  • View quote history button label - the wording on the link to a customer’s own past requests.

All three accept plain text.

On a multilingual site, note what these are: text you type, stored in the site’s options. They are not part of the plugin’s translation catalogue, so a .pot-based translation does not cover them - whatever you type here is what every visitor sees, in every language. Translating them means handling them the way your translation plugin handles other admin-entered option values.

The plugin’s own strings - everything it ships - are translation ready and covered by the bundled .pot file.

Add to quote action after click

Section titled “Add to quote action after click”

The two options for what happens after a shopper clicks the quote button

What happens the moment a shopper adds a product to their quote:

  • Show a link to the request list - the product is added and a link appears, so the shopper can carry on browsing and go to the list when they are ready. This is the default and it is the right choice for most stores, because a shopper who is still browsing rarely wants to be taken away from the product they were looking at.
  • Go straight to the request list - the shopper is taken to the quote page immediately. Choose this when a quote is usually for one product, so there is nothing to carry on browsing for.

Neither option changes what is stored. They only change where the shopper ends up.

Quote request page and Quote history page

Section titled “Quote request page and Quote history page”

Two page pickers:

  • Quote request page must contain the [products_to_quote] shortcode. This is the page that shows the quote list and the contact form.
  • Quote history page must contain the [my_quoted_products] shortcode. It shows a logged-in customer their own past requests.

Both pages are created for you on activation. If you delete one, they are not silently recreated - pick a different page here, or add the shortcode to a page of your own.

If the same shortcode ends up on more than one page - usually after a theme import or a page duplication - the plugin says so on this screen and offers to clear the extra copies, because two pages carrying the same shortcode is a common cause of “my quote list is empty” reports.

See Shortcodes for what each shortcode renders.

Other controls on this screen

Section titled “Other controls on this screen”
  • Hide add to cart button - shoppers can request a quote but not buy directly. Note that on a variable product the control WooCommerce renders is the variation form rather than a simple Add to cart button; the setting hides the button it can reach, and a variable product may still show its variation selector.
  • Hide product prices - the price is replaced by the quote button on product and shop pages, rather than leaving an empty space where the price was.
  • Disable quote for specific user roles - tick the roles that should NOT see quote functionality. Guest covers everyone who is not logged in. With nothing ticked, everyone can request a quote. If you tick every role, the quote button disappears and Hide Prices has no effect until you allow at least one role again.
  • Support phone number - shown next to your admin email in the confirmation a customer receives. Leave it empty to show only the email address.
