Getting started

Most stores can take the first quote request in a few minutes. Install Estimate, pick a quote mode, and add the [estimate_quote] page.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • WooCommerce active (HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks supported)
  • PHP 8.1 or newer

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active.
  2. Install Estimate from the plugin directory (when live on WordPress.org) or upload the estimate folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Activate the plugin.

First configuration

Section titled “First configuration”

Open WooCommerce → Estimate in wp-admin:

  • Quote mode — choose Selected products only or All products.
  • Recipient email — where quote requests are sent (defaults to the site admin email).
  • Button text — the storefront label that replaces add-to-cart.
  • Hide price — optionally hide the price on quote-enabled products.

In selected mode, edit a product and tick Enable quote requests in the Product data box.

Create the quote page

Section titled “Create the quote page”

Create a page (e.g. “Request a Quote”) and add the shortcode:

[estimate_quote]

The page shows the current quote list with editable quantities and the request form. If a visitor’s list is empty, a friendly empty state links back to the shop.

Verify on the storefront

Section titled “Verify on the storefront”
  1. Open a quote-enabled product — the Add to quote button should replace add-to-cart (price hidden if you enabled it).
  2. Add a couple of products, then open your quote page — edit quantities and remove an item.
  3. Submit the form — you should receive the email and see a Quote Request saved under the WooCommerce menu.

Where quote requests go

Section titled “Where quote requests go”

Each submission is emailed to your recipient address and stored as a private Quote Request record under the WooCommerce menu in wp-admin.

Free vs PRO

Section titled “Free vs PRO”

The free edition covers quote modes, the Add to quote button, price hiding, the per-visitor quote list, the request form, merchant email and saved records.

Estimate PRO (planned) adds per-product quote rules, PDF quotes, customer accounts and follow-up tooling — not basic quote access.
