Description
Rats Price Inquiry for WooCommerce is a free WooCommerce plugin that hides product prices and replaces the add-to-cart button with a smart WhatsApp inquiry button. Perfect for B2B stores, quote-based shops, or any business that wants customers to ask before buying.
Key Features
Smart WhatsApp Routing
Set a different WhatsApp number for each product category. Enable round-robin rotation between two numbers to balance inquiry load between staff members automatically.
Auto-Populated Chat Messages
When a customer clicks your button, WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled message including the product name, URL, and SKU. Fully customisable with placeholders, overridable per product.
Guest-Only Mode
Hide prices only for logged-out visitors. Registered members see normal prices — great for building a mailing list with a “Member Price” experience.
Custom Button Labels
Change the button text globally, per category, or per individual product: “Check Stock,” “Request Quote,” “Bulk Order Inquiry,” and so on.
Mini Analytics Dashboard
Click counts per product, ranked by popularity. Export as CSV or reset at any time.
Flexible Price-Hiding Rules
Hide prices for an entire category or override at product level. Product overrides always win.
REST API
GET /wp-json/swph/v1/product/{id} for headless / block-based themes.
Tools Page
CSV export, analytics reset, and environment health check.

FAQ
-
Does this work with block-based themes?
-
The plugin hooks into standard WooCommerce PHP template actions. Classic and Storefront-based themes work out of the box. For full-site-editing themes, use the REST API endpoint to build a custom block or add minor CSS targeting.
-
How does round-robin rotation work?
-
A WordPress transient counter per category alternates between the primary and rotate number. The counter resets daily.
-
Is it GDPR compliant?
-
Only a SHA-256 hash of the visitor IP is stored for analytics — no plain-text personal data. Update your privacy policy accordingly.
-
What is removed when I delete the plugin?
-
The uninstall.php routine removes all plugin options, per-product post meta, the analytics DB table, and rotation transients.
