Estimate Pro
Estimate Pro is the planned premium edition for Estimate. It is an add-on that requires the free Estimate plugin installed and active; it is distributed through Freemius (licensing, activation and automatic updates), not the WordPress.org directory.
The 0.1.0 release is an early scaffold: it ships the licensing, bootstrap, activation and database-migration plumbing that the premium features will hook into. The features below are planned and not yet implemented.
Planned PRO features
Section titled “Planned PRO features”- Per-product quote rules - minimum quantities, custom fields and approval thresholds per product or category.
- PDF quotes - generate a branded PDF quote and convert an accepted quote into a WooCommerce order.
- Customer quote accounts - let returning B2B buyers see their past requests and re-order from a quote.
- Follow-up and CRM hooks - reminder emails, status tracking and webhooks into your CRM.
What the scaffold does today
Section titled “What the scaffold does today”- Boots only after the free Estimate plugin has loaded and fired its boot action.
- Verifies the free plugin is present and meets the minimum version, with admin notices when it is not.
- Registers premium services and hooks into the free plugin’s container (registries are empty placeholders for now).
- Runs version-tracked PRO activation defaults and database migrations.
- Declares WooCommerce HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility.
- Integrates the Freemius SDK for licensing, activation UI and automatic updates.
Relationship with Estimate
Section titled “Relationship with Estimate”Estimate Pro extends the free Estimate plugin. The free plugin provides the core quote-request flow; PRO adds per-product rules, PDF quotes, customer accounts and follow-up tooling that B2B and wholesale stores ask for.
