Description
Ideal for businesses that use WooCommerce as a product catalog instead of an online store.
Turn WooCommerce into a quotation catalog by replacing online purchasing with a quote basket workflow. Customers add multiple products to a quote basket, complete a quotation form and submit a single RFQ for project-based or custom-priced products.
Suitable for:
- B2B and wholesale catalogs
- Industrial / engineering / ex-proof equipment
- Custom pricing and project quotations
- Stores that hide checkout and collect quote requests instead
What customers do
- Add products to a quote basket from the product page or catalog
- Adjust quantities (including variable products)
- Open the quote page, fill a short contact form, and submit
What you get
- Incoming quote requests in the WordPress admin
- HTML email to your sales address (customizable templates with live preview)
- Optional confirmation email to the customer
- Optional PDF summary attached to the admin email
- Floating quote-basket button (can be turned off)
- Option to hide WooCommerce “Add to cart” for quote-only catalogs
Shortcodes
[ankaquba_form]— quote basket + form[ankaquba_menu]— quote basket link with count
Place the form shortcode on a page, then select that page under Quote Requests Settings.
Both tags use the plugin prefix ankaquba_. Older tags (woo_quote_*,
anka_quote_basket_*, product_quote_list_*, quote_requests_*) are no longer
registered. Upgrading rewrites [woo_quote_form] and [woo_quote_menu] in your
existing pages automatically; anything it cannot reach is listed in an admin
notice so you can update it by hand.

FAQ
-
Does this replace WooCommerce checkout?
-
No. You can keep checkout and quotes together, or hide Add to cart for a quote-only catalog.
-
What PHP version is required?
-
PHP 8.1 or higher.
-
Can I customize the emails?
-
Yes. Under Settings Email you can edit subjects and HTML bodies. Leave a body empty to use the built-in template. A live preview shows sample data.
-
I used an older folder name
-
Activate Anka Quote Basket for WooCommerce. Settings and stored quotes keep working. Remove any old folder such as
hadilenya-quote-basket-for-woocommerce,product-quote-list-for-woocommerce,quote-requests-for-woocommerce, orwoo-quoteafter activating this one.Your quotes, settings and pages are carried over on the first load after upgrading. If a page still shows a raw shortcode, change it to
[ankaquba_form]or[ankaquba_menu]. -
Is Dompdf required?
-
No. Dompdf ships with the plugin for nicer PDFs. If it cannot load, a simple PDF fallback is used so quotes still send.
-
Does the plugin send data anywhere?
-
No. It makes no external requests: there is no tracking, no licence check and no remote asset. Quote requests are stored in your own database and sent with
wp_mail()to the address you configure. Dompdf runs locally with remote fetching switched off. -
How do I build the plugin from source?
-
The plugin ships ready to run; nothing is minified or obfuscated. The only build step is Composer, which produces the bundled
vendor/directory (Dompdf and its dependencies):composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader composer.json and `composer.lock` are included so the exact dependency versions can be reproduced.

Changelog
4.3.0
- Every global name now uses the distinct
ankaqubaprefix instead of the genericwoo_quote: constants (ANKAQUBA_*), classes (Ankaquba_*), theankaquba_settingsoption, theankaquba_quotepost type,_ankaquba_*meta keys, AJAX actions, nonces, CSS classes and the[ankaquba_form]/[ankaquba_menu]shortcodes. - Automatic one-time migration on upgrade: settings, stored quotes, their meta and the shortcodes inside your pages (including Elementor content) are moved to the new names. Baskets saved in a visitor’s browser are carried over too. Anything the rewrite cannot reach is reported in an admin notice.
- Uninstall now also clears data left by pre-4.3.0 versions.
4.2.1
- Security: marking a quote as viewed is no longer done while the edit URL loads. It is now an explicit POST protected by a nonce plus a capability check, so the status cannot be changed through a forged request.
- All shortcodes now use the plugin prefix. Unprefixed aliases were removed to avoid collisions with other plugins.
- Settings screen placeholder chips moved from a global function into the settings class.
- Admin screen routing input is sanitized before comparison.
Older entries are kept in changelog.txt, bundled with the plugin.
