Description
Flowbyte Cart Quote Manager for WooCommerce adds two powerful capabilities to your WooCommerce store:
PDF Quotes — A “Download Quote” button on the cart page opens a modal where customers enter their details and instantly receive a professionally formatted PDF. Each quote is stored in the database with a unique reference number and a secure restore-cart link so the customer can pick up where they left off.
Cart Tracking — Every WooCommerce cart is automatically saved in real time. Carts that go idle for more than 30 minutes are flagged as abandoned. When a cart converts to an order it is marked as converted. A WordPress Dashboard widget gives you a quick glance at open, abandoned, converted and quoted activity.
Admin Dashboard — A unified list of all carts and quotes with sorting, filtering, a detail view with product table, customer info, custom field data, and technical details (IP address, browser). From any entry you can compose an email or download a PDF.
Automated Reminders — Uses WooCommerce Action Scheduler to automatically email customers about abandoned carts or outstanding quotes after a configurable number of days.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
-
How does cart tracking work?
-
When “Auto-save carts” is enabled the plugin hooks into WooCommerce cart events (add, remove, quantity change, totals calculation) and persists the cart to the database. Each user or guest session gets one open cart row that is updated on every change.
-
When is a cart considered abandoned?
-
A cart is flagged as abandoned when its last activity is more than 30 minutes ago and it has not been converted to an order.
-
Can I customise the PDF?
-
Yes. Under Settings > Style you can set the header colour, accent colour and upload a logo. If no logo is configured the site name is displayed instead. Colours and logo appear in both the header and footer of the PDF.
-
Do automated reminders require anything extra?
-
The plugin uses WooCommerce’s built-in Action Scheduler (included with WooCommerce). No additional plugin is needed. Reminders run once daily at 8:00 AM site time and process up to 50 carts per run.
-
Does the PDF include custom fields?
-
Yes. Any custom fields the customer fills in are stored with the quote and rendered in the PDF between the customer details and the product table.
-
Can guest (non-logged-in) customers use the quote form?
-
Yes. The quote modal and AJAX endpoint work for both logged-in and anonymous users. Guest carts are tracked by WooCommerce session ID.
