NuxWP Devis – Quote Requests for WooCommerce

Description

NuxWP Devis (devis is French for “quote”) lets your customers build their cart as usual and, instead of paying, ask for a quote — with one button on the cart page.

Most quote plugins replace “Add to cart” and hide prices behind a separate “quote basket”. NuxWP Devis does the opposite: the cart stays a cart, and becomes a quote only when the customer wants one. Perfect for B2B shops, wholesalers and any store where large baskets deserve a negotiated price.

How it works

1. The customer fills the cart and clicks Request a quote on the cart page.
2. A confirmation modal opens — with an optional message — and the request is sent. The cart is emptied, a PDF quote is generated, e-mails go out to the customer and to you.
3. In WooCommerce → Quotes you review the request, apply line discounts and/or a global discount, set the expiry date and change the status (Pending → Quoted → Accepted). The PDF is regenerated and the customer is notified at every step.
4. In My Account → My quotes the customer sees the quote, downloads the PDF and, once accepted, clicks Accept and pay: the quote is loaded back into the cart with the negotiated prices, the cart is locked (no quantity change, no coupon, no extra product) and goes to checkout.
5. The quote is marked Ordered once the order is paid / confirmed. Quotes expire automatically on their expiry date.

NuxWP Devis Pro (separate add-on)

This plugin is complete and fully functional on its own. A separate, paid add-on adds: a quote button on single product pages and in product grids, product rules (categories, per-product “Quote” tab, quantity threshold), out of stock → quote, customer file attachments and an ERP bridge (Sage, Odoo, EBP…).

All settings

Everything is in WooCommerce → Quotes → Settings.

Quote requests

• Show the “Request a quote” button on the cart page — on/off. In the block cart the button is placed automatically in the totals area; the [devisqr_button] shortcode places it anywhere else.
• Minimum cart total (incl. tax) — 0 = no minimum. Computed on the products at catalog price including tax (shipping, fees and coupons are not part of a quote). Below the minimum the button stays locked and shows “From X”.
• Who can request a quote — Any logged-in customer or Only the selected roles (role chips). Shop managers and administrators can always request. Guests are sent to the login page.
• Quote validity (days) — default 15. Printed on the PDF and in the e-mails; quotes past their date switch to Expired automatically (daily) and can no longer be paid.
• Quote number prefix — letters and digits, e.g. QT → QT-202610-0001 (sequential per month).
• Let the customer add a message to the request — on/off.

Cart button

• Position (classic cart) — after the cart totals / before “Proceed to checkout” / after “Proceed to checkout” / top of the cart / manual (shortcode only).
• Alignment — left / center / right (on phones the cart button is always full width).
• Button text — default “Request a quote”.
• Style — Look (filled / outline / text link), Size (small / medium / large), Corner radius, Background, Text, Border, Hover background, Hover text, Full width, Show the icon, with a live preview.

Texts & translations

Rewrite the essential phrases without a translation plugin (they apply to what customers see; back-office screens keep the original wording). Each field shows the current wording in grey; type yours to replace it (applies to PHP and JavaScript). Keep the %s placeholders where they appear. Groups: Cart & quote request (button label, minimum notice, modal title/text/fields/buttons, success message, locked-cart messages, contact link), My account (tab title, empty state, PDF button, pay button, back link, team message label), Status labels, E-mails (the three subjects, greeting, every sentence of the “request received” and status e-mails, button labels, footer line, shop notification title/button).

E-mails & contact

• Notification e-mail(s) for new requests — one or more addresses, comma-separated. Default: the site admin e-mail.
• Sender e-mail (From) — default: the WooCommerce sender address.
• Contact e-mail shown to customers — in e-mails and “contact us” links. Default: the site admin e-mail.
• Contact page URL (optional) — used for the “contact us” links instead of a mailto link.
• Send me a test e-mail — sends the “request received” e-mail with sample data to your own address, using the saved settings. Handy to check your SMTP setup and the rendering of your logo, colour and texts.

E-mails share one sober, responsive template: your logo (the one chosen in Company details & PDF, else the theme logo) or the site name, a thin accent rule, the message, a quote card (number, date, validity), the products and totals, one button, and your company details in the footer. The accent colour (default dark blue) can be changed with the devisqr_email_accent_color filter.

Company details & PDF

• Logo (PDF & e-mails) — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or AVIF from the media library (no SVG); falls back to the theme’s site logo. Non-PNG/JPEG files are converted once to PNG in uploads/devisqr-branding/ so they print on the PDF and display in every e-mail client.
• Company name, Address, Postcode, City, Phone, E-mail printed on the PDF, Company registration no., VAT number — empty fields fall back to the site name and the WooCommerce store address.
• Footer note on the PDF — default “This document is a quote, not an invoice. Keep it for your records.”

Uninstall

• Delete all quotes, PDFs and settings when the plugin is deleted — off by default. When on, deleting the plugin drops the two tables, the options, the rate-limit transients and the uploads/devisqr-quotes folder.

Admin language

At the top of WooCommerce → Quotes: EN / FR switch (per user) and a ↺ button to follow the site language again. The switch changes the admin screen, status labels and menu for this plugin only.

Shortcodes

• [devisqr_button] — the cart quote button (respects the minimum, the roles and the locked-cart state). Useful in a block cart layout or a custom cart template.
