The WooCommerce Quote plugin is a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates with your WooCommerce system, allowing your customers to request price estimates for products. Here are some of its key features and capabilities:
Quote Statuses and Workflow:
- New Quote: When a customer submits a quote, the plugin creates an order marked as “New Quote.”
- Pending Quote: Quotes can be paused and processed later. Pending quotes won’t expire and won’t be automatically accepted unless you enable a specific option.
- Accepted Quote: When a quote is marked as “Accepted,” the customer is notified via email. The customer can then pay the order through their account.
- Rejected Quote: Administrators can reject quotes, and customers are notified accordingly.
- Customer-Rejected Quote: After a quote is accepted, customers can eventually reject it, triggering notifications to administrators.
- Expired Quote: Quotes that exceed their expiration date are automatically marked as “Expired.”
Edit Product Prices and Additional Costs:
- Before submitting the quote, you can edit product prices, add shipping costs, and include additional costs. You can also apply discount codes to the quote.
Customizable Contact Form:
- The plugin provides a customizable contact form that customers must complete before submitting a quote. You can create various types of fields, such as text, text area, date, time, select/multi-select, country and state, and acceptance. These fields can be linked to native order fields and made mandatory.
Email Notifications:
- The plugin sends email notifications to customers when a quote changes status or is about to expire. You can customize the text of these emails through the plugin’s settings.
Expiration and Approval:
- You can configure quotes to be automatically approved (if they are marked as “New Quote”) and set an automatic expiration period (if they are marked as “Accepted Quote”). For example, you can configure a quote to expire one day after it’s been submitted.
Custom Quote Message:
- Administrators can configure a custom message for the View Quote page and notification emails.
Add to Cart:
- You can enable the option to allow customers to add quoteable products to the cart.
Template:
- Template files used for email notifications and the quote area can be customized by copying them to your theme folder.
WPML Compatibility:
- The plugin is compatible with the WPML translation plugin, allowing you to customize and translate texts.
Additional Information:
- The plugin is available in multiple languages, and it is regularly updated with new features and bug fixes.
- The plugin is free to use.
Overall, WooCommerce Quote is a feature-rich plugin that enhances your WooCommerce store’s functionality by allowing customers to request price estimates, while also providing administrators with tools to manage and process these quotes efficiently. It’s a valuable addition for businesses that offer customized pricing or need to handle quoting processes for their products and services.
