WooCommerce Request a Quote & B2B Workflow Plugin

Request a Quote & B2B Suite for WooCommerce

Create a quote-first WooCommerce workflow with a request-a-quote button, quote cart, RFQ form, basic catalog mode, and quote request management. Advanced B2B access, customer groups, pricing rules, quote documents, webhooks, AI, and automation belong in the Pro upgrade path.

Standard WooCommerce checkout is not always the right path for wholesale, distributor, custom-product, industrial, or project-based sales. Start with a focused free base workflow for RFQ collection, then use the Pro upgrade path when your store needs advanced B2B rules, quote documents, automation, or external integrations.

Why Quote-First Selling

When “Add to Cart” Is Not Enough

Some WooCommerce stores cannot show one public price to every visitor. Pricing may depend on quantity, buyer type, approval status, project requirements, product configuration, shipping conditions, or manual sales review.

Public pricing does not fit every customer

Use quote-first product actions when pricing depends on volume, customer group, approval status, project scope, or manual review.

Buyers need to quote multiple products together

Let customers collect several products in a dedicated Quote Cart instead of sending separate product messages or incomplete contact form requests.

RFQ details need structure

Capture buyer information, company details, product quantities, project notes, custom fields, and upload-related information through a dedicated RFQ workflow.

B2B buyers may need approval first

Pro buyer approval helps stores review applications before enabling controlled pricing, purchasing paths, or customer group access.

Sales teams need more than a form submission

Keep quote requests connected to WooCommerce products, quote status, customer details, and follow-up records, with quote documents and order conversion handled through advanced Pro workflows.

External workflows may need quote data

Send selected quote events to CRM, automation tools, or internal systems through optional Pro webhooks when your workflow requires external handoff.

RFQ to Order Workflow

A Clear Quote Workflow Before Checkout

This plugin is more than a basic contact form. The free base workflow focuses on WooCommerce-connected RFQ collection where products, quantities, buyer details, and quote request records stay organized. Pro workflows extend that path into customer-facing quote documents and accepted quote handling.

Buyer clicks Request a Quote

01

Add quote actions to product pages, product listings, or selected shortcode placements so buyers can start with inquiry instead of direct checkout.

Products go into a Quote Cart

02

Buyers can collect multiple products, review selected items, adjust quantities, and submit one combined quote request.

RFQ form collects buyer and project details

03

Capture contact details, company information, project notes, quantity requirements, custom fields, and upload-related information.

Store team reviews the request

04

Manage submitted quote requests in WordPress admin with product details, customer information, internal notes, and quote status.

Quote documents or links are prepared

05

Pro workflows add customer-facing quote documents, proforma-style documents, project quote documents, or secure quote views.

Accepted quotes become WooCommerce orders

06

Advanced Pro workflows move accepted quotations toward WooCommerce orders so reviewed pricing can continue through your store’s order and payment process.

Core Feature Areas

Built Around the Real B2B Quote Process

Request a Quote & B2B Suite starts with RFQ collection and basic catalog control, while the Pro upgrade path adds advanced B2B access, buyer approval, quote document handling, automation, and quote-to-order workflows.

Collect RFQs

Collect RFQs with Products, Quantities, and Buyer Details

Instead of receiving vague messages like “please send price,” your store can collect structured quote requests connected to actual WooCommerce products and customer information.

  • Multi-Product Quote Cart for combined RFQs.
  • RFQ Form for buyer, company, project, quantity, custom field, and upload-related details.
  • Quote Request Records inside WordPress admin.
  • Email Notifications for buyer confirmations and internal quote alerts.
Pro Access Tools

Add Advanced Pricing, Visibility, and Buyer Access Rules

B2B stores often need different behavior for public visitors, pending applicants, approved buyers, wholesale accounts, or customer-specific groups. These controls belong in the Pro upgrade path.

  • Buyer approval for application review and access control.

Pro Quote Flow

Prepare Customer-Facing Quotes Without Losing the WooCommerce Order Path

For stores where pricing depends on buyer type, quantity, account approval, or customer group.

Distributor Websites

For product catalogs where buyers need availability checks, bulk pricing, lead-time confirmation, or formal quotation.

Custom Product Stores

For products that require dimensions, specifications, project details, file uploads, or manual sales review.

Optional Advanced Modules

Connect Quote Activity to Your Wider Sales Workflow

The core RFQ, quote cart, and basic catalog workflow can run inside WooCommerce without external services. Pro modules support webhooks, automation, AI-assisted internal notes, and advanced B2B workflows when your store needs a deeper sales process.

Webhooks for Quote Events

Send selected quote events to CRM tools, automation platforms, dashboards, or internal systems when your business needs external workflow handoff.

Quote Data Handoff

Use webhooks to pass quote status, customer details, product lines, quantities, and RFQ information to administrator-configured endpoints.

Optional AI Assistant

Use AI-assisted tools to help staff summarize RFQs, draft internal response ideas, or prepare sales-assist notes.

Admin-Controlled Integrations

Webhooks and AI features are optional. They are only used when configured by the site administrator.

Review Before Sending

AI-generated content should be treated as draft assistance. Your team should review pricing, terms, availability, lead times, and customer communication before sending anything to buyers.

Setup & Requirements

Start with the Core Quote Workflow, Then Add B2B Controls as Needed

Configure the quote cart and RFQ form first, test the buyer-facing workflow, then use catalog mode and Pro modules according to your store’s need for buyer approval, pricing rules, quote documents, webhooks, or AI assistance.

Recommended Setup Path

  1. Confirm WooCommerce is installed and active.
  2. Create the quote cart experience where buyers review selected products before submitting a quote request.
  3. Configure the RFQ form fields your sales team needs.
  4. Submit a test quote request, review it in admin, prepare a quote, and test accepted quote behavior.
  5. Add basic catalog behavior first, then use Pro buyer approval, customer groups, role pricing, and access rules according to your sales model.
  6. Enable Pro webhooks and AI assistance only when your team needs external workflow handoff or internal sales-assist support.
