Rats Price Inquiry for WooCommerce<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features<\/h4>\n\n

Smart WhatsApp Routing<\/strong>\nSet a different WhatsApp number for each product category. Enable round-robin rotation between two numbers to balance inquiry load between staff members automatically.<\/p>\n\n

Auto-Populated Chat Messages<\/strong>\nWhen 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.<\/p>\n\n

Guest-Only Mode<\/strong>\nHide prices only for logged-out visitors. Registered members see normal prices \u2014 great for building a mailing list with a \"Member Price\" experience.<\/p>\n\n

Custom Button Labels<\/strong>\nChange the button text globally, per category, or per individual product: \"Check Stock,\" \"Request Quote,\" \"Bulk Order Inquiry,\" and so on.<\/p>\n\n

Mini Analytics Dashboard<\/strong>\nClick counts per product, ranked by popularity. Export as CSV or reset at any time.<\/p>\n\n

Flexible Price-Hiding Rules<\/strong>\nHide prices for an entire category or override at product level. Product overrides always win.<\/p>\n\n

REST API<\/strong>\nGET \/wp-json\/swph\/v1\/product\/{id} for headless \/ block-based themes.<\/p>\n\n

Tools Page<\/strong>\nCSV export, analytics reset, and environment health check.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the rats-price-inquiry-for-woocommerce<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin in Plugins > Installed Plugins.<\/li>\n
  3. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.<\/li>\n
  4. Go to Price Inquiry > Settings to configure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does this work with block-based themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How does round-robin rotation work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    A WordPress transient counter per category alternates between the primary and rotate number. The counter resets daily.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is it GDPR compliant?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Only a SHA-256 hash of the visitor IP is stored for analytics \u2014 no plain-text personal data. Update your privacy policy accordingly.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is removed when I delete the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The uninstall.php routine removes all plugin options, per-product post meta, the analytics DB table, and rotation transients.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
