WPC Request a Quote for WooCommerce

WPC Request a Quote for WooCommerce adds a quotation workflow to a WooCommerce shop. Customers can collect products in a dedicated quote list, submit the request for review, and receive updated pricing and shipping before accepting and paying. It also handles the less obvious route: turning the complete cart into a quote request through a payment method at checkout.

Two ways to request

The separate quote list suits shoppers who are gathering products for a negotiated order. A “Request a Quote” button can appear on product pages, shop pages, or wherever a shortcode is used, giving the customer a clear route into that list. An individual quote setting restricts the list to one product at a time, which fits specialised services or enquiries where combining several products would be misleading.

The checkout option is the more important part for stores selling configured products. Customers can select “Request a Quote” as a payment method and submit the entire cart, including product configurations. The vendor specifically positions this flow for WPC Product Bundles, WPC Composite Products, and products with add-ons, where a simple product-by-product request could lose the choices made during configuration.

Controls for the catalogue

Store owners get both broad and product-level controls. Prices can be hidden storewide for products that are available by quotation, while individual products can explicitly allow or disallow quoting and override the global setting. That combination is useful for a catalogue containing both ordinary retail items and products that need a conversation before purchase.

• Add a quote button to product pages, shop pages, or shortcode locations.
• Limit a quote request to one product when the sales process calls for an individual enquiry.
• Hide prices for quote-oriented products across the store.
• Set quoting permissions on individual products, overriding global settings.
• Choose whether prices appear in initial request emails and updated quote emails.

Order-based administration

Quote requests appear in the WooCommerce Orders interface, keeping them alongside the shop’s existing order records rather than sending the team to a separate management area. Dedicated statuses include Quote Request, Quote Pending Review, and Quote Rejected, providing a basic progression for sorting and tracking enquiries.

The review stage covers the commercial details that usually matter most: the administrator can provide custom prices and shipping, then send the revised quote back to the customer. The customer can accept and pay for it or reject it. A built-in quote statistics dashboard adds a summary view of quote performance, while email pricing controls let the shop decide how much price information is shown at each stage.

Where it falls short

The plugin adds a second purchasing path, so the shop must explain when customers should use the quote list and when they should submit the cart through checkout. That distinction is valuable for complex configurations, but it also makes the buying process less direct than a standard add-to-cart flow.

Price hiding is a broad control: the storewide option suits a quote-led catalogue, but mixed shops need to maintain the product-level exceptions carefully. The feature list also describes statuses and a statistics dashboard, not a full sales pipeline, so teams needing detailed assignment, negotiation history, or advanced reporting should not assume those functions are included. Finally, the workflow relies on administrator review before the customer can accept the revised quote, which is appropriate for negotiated orders but adds a manual step to every request.

Who it suits

This is a focused fit for WooCommerce stores selling products with variable specifications, bundles, composites, add-ons, or negotiated shipping. It is also suitable for shops that need to keep selected catalogue items quote-only while leaving the rest of the store on normal checkout. Stores selling fixed-price products with little need for negotiation will gain less from the extra request and review stages.
