Estimate

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Estimate turns WooCommerce products into quote requests. On a quote-enabled product it removes the Add to cart button (and, by default, the price) and renders an Add to quote link in their place. Shoppers collect products into a per-visitor list, then send their details through a short form on the page that holds the [estimate_quote] shortcode. Each submission is emailed to you and saved as a private record under WooCommerce → Quote Requests.

It is built for stores where prices are negotiated rather than fixed: B2B and wholesale, bulk orders, and made-to-order products.

What it does

Section titled “What it does”
  • Two quote modes, turn quotes on for selected products only (a per-product toggle), or for all products store-wide.
  • Add to quote button replaces Add to cart on both single product pages and shop/category loops.
  • Optional price hiding on quote-enabled products, on by default.
  • Per-visitor quote list kept in a cookie, so logged-out shoppers can build a list without an account. Nothing is written to the database until they submit.
  • [estimate_quote] shortcode renders the quote list (with editable quantities and per-item removal) and the request form: name, email, company, message.
  • Each request is emailed to a recipient you choose and saved as a private Quote Request post you open in wp-admin, with a Reply-To set to the customer.

How the flow runs

Section titled “How the flow runs”

The Add to quote button is a plain link carrying a nonce, clicking it adds the product and lands the shopper on your quote page, so the whole flow works with JavaScript disabled. The only script is a small cosmetic flourish on submit. The cookie list survives navigation for 30 days and is capped at 100 distinct products.

Where requests land

Section titled “Where requests land”

Every submission does two things: it sends a plain-text email (through your site’s own wp_mail, no external service) to the recipient address, and it creates a private estimate_quote post under WooCommerce → Quote Requests holding the contact details and the requested line items. You reply with your pricing from there.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”

The free edition on WordPress.org is the complete quote-request product, both modes, the button, price hiding, the list, the form, the email and the saved records. A Pro edition is on the roadmap; nothing in the free flow is gated behind it.
