FAQ

Does Estimate require WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce 8.0 or newer must be active. If it is not, Estimate does not load and shows an admin notice. It declares HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility.

Can I enable quotes for only some products?

Yes. Keep the mode on Selected products only and tick Enable quote requests on each product (Product data → General). Switch to All products to make every product quote-only store-wide. The master Enable quote requests toggle on the settings screen turns the whole feature on or off.

Where do quote requests go?

Two places at once: an email to your Recipient email (the site admin email if you leave it blank), and a private Quote Request record under WooCommerce → Quote Requests in wp-admin. The email’s Reply-To is the customer, so you can reply directly.

What does the request form collect?

Name and email (both required), plus optional company and message, alongside the quote list with the quantities the shopper set. There are no other fields, and the set is not configurable.

Does the quote list work for logged-out visitors?

Yes. The list is a browser cookie holding only product IDs and quantities, so no account is needed and nothing is written to the database until the form is submitted. The cookie lasts 30 days and holds up to 100 distinct products.

Can I hide prices?

Yes, and it is on by default. Turn Hide price off to keep the list price visible next to the Add to quote button. Price hiding only applies to quote-enabled products.

Does it work without JavaScript?

Yes. The Add to quote button is a real link and the quote page is a standard POST form, so the entire flow works with scripts disabled. The single script only draws a decorative rule under the submit button when you send, no behaviour depends on it.

Can I change where the Add to quote button sends shoppers?

The button links to a stored quote-page ID, then falls back to your WooCommerce Shop page, then the site home. This release has no admin field for that page ID, so to control the landing page make it your Shop page (or place the [estimate_quote] shortcode there).

Is there a template I can override in my theme?

No. The button and the quote/form markup are rendered in PHP, not through a theme-overridable template. Restyle with CSS against the .estimate-* classes instead, the stylesheet already covers dark mode, focus rings, reduced motion and a mobile reflow.

Are there hooks for developers?

Not in this release. Estimate exposes no merchant- or developer-facing filters or actions; the only public extension point is the [estimate_quote] shortcode.

Will uninstalling delete my data?

Deleting the plugin removes its options (estimate_settings, estimate_db_version, estimate_quote_page_id). It intentionally keeps your submitted Quote Request records and the per-product quote flags, so a reinstall does not lose them. Remove those by hand if you want a full cleanup.

Is there a Pro edition?

A Pro edition is on the roadmap. The free edition is the complete quote-request product as documented here, nothing in this flow is gated behind Pro.
