Rixden Quote Builder

Description

Rixden Quote Builder is a visual quote request system for any WordPress site selling services, products, or both. Clients browse your catalogue with beautiful cards, add items to their quote, and submit a detailed request — all without leaving your page. No more generic contact forms or “request a quote” links that go nowhere.

Built for trades, agencies, caterers, consultants, event planners, rental businesses, studios, fitness coaches, cleaning services, beauty salons, photographers — any business where pricing depends on what the client actually wants.

FAQ

Does this require WooCommerce or any other plugin?

No. Rixden Quote Builder is completely standalone. No WooCommerce, no page builder, no dependencies.

Can I use this for physical products, not just services?

Yes. The builder works for any priced item — services, products, packages, rental gear, catering menus, consulting hours, event bookings. Whatever you sell, list it as a product.

What happens if a client refreshes the page mid-quote?

Their selections are preserved in the browser session, so an accidental refresh won’t wipe their quote. The quote clears when they close the browser tab.

How do I add a delivery or shipping fee?

Go to Quote Builder Settings, scroll down to the Delivery Fee section, enable the toggle, and enter your flat fee. You can also set a free-delivery threshold so the fee is waived when the quote subtotal reaches a certain amount. The label is fully customisable — use “Delivery Fee”, “Shipping”, “Service Fee”, or anything that fits your business.

Can I use my own currency?

Yes. Go to Quote Builder Settings and enter any currency symbol you want.

How do clients receive confirmation?

Immediately after submitting, they receive a clean HTML email with their full quote summary, branded with your accent colour and company name.

Where do quote requests go?

All quote requests appear in the Quote Requests admin tab with full client details, items, quantities, totals, and a status dropdown so you can track progress.

Is the shortcode safe to use in Gutenberg / Elementor / Divi / Classic Editor?

Yes. The shortcode works anywhere standard WordPress shortcodes work, including Gutenberg shortcode blocks, Classic Editor, and all major page builders.

Where can I upgrade to Pro?

See the Pro Features tab in the admin dashboard for a full feature list and upgrade link.
