Request a quote instead of a cart
Estimate turns WooCommerce products into quote requests. Instead of add-to-cart, products show an Add to quote button and can hide the price. Shoppers build a quote list and send their details from a simple form. Ideal for B2B, wholesale and made-to-order.
Works with
Not every sale has a fixed price
In B2B, wholesale and made-to-order, prices are negotiated, not fixed. Without a quote path the shopper abandons the cart or calls you, and you lose the request.
- ✗ No path for negotiated rather than fixed prices
- ✗ B2B buyers want to ask for a quote, not buy right away
- ✗ Requests get lost in emails and phone calls
- ✗ No quote list for logged-out guests
Estimate adds a request-a-quote path
- ✓ An Add to quote button that replaces add-to-cart, with optional price hiding
- ✓ A per-visitor, cookie-based quote list with no account
- ✓ A request form via the [estimate_quote] shortcode
- ✓ A merchant email plus a private saved record in wp-admin

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
Where do quote requests go?
Each submission is emailed to the recipient you set (or the site admin email by default) and saved as a private Quote Request record under the WooCommerce menu in wp-admin.
Can I enable quotes for only some products?
Yes. Set the quote mode to Selected products only and tick Enable quote requests on each product you want. Choose All products to apply it store-wide.
Does the quote list work for logged-out visitors?
Yes. The list is stored in a cookie per visitor, so no account is required.
Can I hide the product price?
Yes. On quote-enabled products you can optionally hide the price so shoppers request a quote first.
Does Estimate pair with Trust and Answers?
Yes. Trust adds confidence badges at the buy decision and Answers handles pre-sale questions. Estimate complements them with a request-a-quote path.
