AskQuote for WooCommerce

Add a complete Request a Quote workflow to your WooCommerce store — in minutes, not days.

Customers click "Request Quote" on any product, build a quote cart, and submit their request. You review and approve it from your WordPress dashboard — no coding required.

✨ Features

• Quote button on any product page — control which products show it (all, by category, by tag, or per-product)
• Dedicated quote cart — completely separate from the WooCommerce shopping cart
• Quote submission form — captures customer details alongside quoted items
• Admin dashboard — manage all incoming quotes with status tabs, bulk actions, and a detail view
• Custom statuses — Pending → Replied → Approved → Closed
• Email notifications — customer confirmation, admin new-quote alert, and customer approval notice (all using your WooCommerce email template)
• My Account integration — logged-in customers see a "My Quotes" tab
• REST API — full API at /wp-json/askquote/v1/quotes for headless and external integrations
• HPOS compatible — works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage
• Zero telemetry — no analytics, no remote connections, no data sent anywhere

❓ FAQ

Does this work with variable products?
Yes. Variation IDs are tracked in the quote cart and saved against each quote line item.

Will this break my regular cart or checkout?
No. The quote cart is completely independent — stored separately in the WooCommerce session.

Can I add custom fields to the quote form?
Yes — use the askquote_quote_form_fields filter. See the Hooks reference below.

Can customers see their past quotes?
Yes. Logged-in customers get a "My Quotes" tab in their WooCommerce My Account area.

Can I control which products show the button?
Yes. Go to AskQuote → Settings → General and choose: all products, specific categories, specific tags, or per-product toggle.

Where are advanced features like PDF quotes, price negotiation, and expiry dates?
Those are part of AskQuote Pro — available separately.
