    Clear Price Per
    I’ve countered several offers without changing the person’s offer, which means I needed to submit another counter offer.

    I’d like to see an option like this in Settings:

    Clear Price Per When Countering An Offer:
    (*)Never ( )Admin Only ( )Customer Only ( ) Everyone

    Minimum Offer

    I’ve had people submit $1 offers and would love to have a universal minimum offer (dollar amount or percentage of the price) or the ability to set one on a per item basis.

    I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying about the Clear Price Per. Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

    For minimum offer we do have an option to set auto-decline based on a percentage. Have you tried that?

    Clear Price Per
    When responding to a Buyer counter offer the Price Per is set to their counter offer, which I then need to edit to set my counter offer Price Per.

    I just thought this through while the admin screen was open and it would actually require another section and the screen is full already. Otherwise the buyer offer would be lost and then what’s the point.

    So the sections and fields would have to be:
    [Original Offer] [Buyer Counter Offer] [Seller Counter Offer]

    It would require far more code than it’s likely worth.

    What about a simple alert when you click “Update” on a counter offer if the Price Per hasn’t been changed? That would be far easier and would stop accidental responses without updating the Price Per.

    Minimum Offer
    I’ve tried that option and it won’t work for several reasons:
    1. I can’t use it because it’s based on a percentage – need a set minimum price for all.
    2. It doesn’t alert the person when they submit an offer or prevent them from typing in a value lower than the minimum – it just accepts it and auto-declines with an email.

    Maybe the Submit button stays disabled until all required fields meet the criteria and the Price field goes red if it’s less than the minimum?

    Maybe a hook like “submit_button_pre_post” where we could display a message and/or make the Price field red to show that’s what stopped it? This would open it up so that all fields could be checked before the offer form data is saved.

    If you have any ideas or thoughts on these minor things, LMK. I’m just glad to have this great plugin, so anything that enhances it is just a bonus.

    Yeah, we definitely don’t want to clear the counter offer price, and typically if somebody is in that screen and they don’t change that price then they aren’t going to be submitting a response anyway, so it’s really not something we’ve had come up before. We can look into adding an extra validation notice there in a future update.

    For min offer, a percentage is really the same thing. You could just figure out what percentage it needs to be set at for the price you’re looking for.

    I like the idea of a hook to intercept that submission and allow you to do things accordingly. We can get something like that added in a future update as well. It would be great if you could post enhancements / feature requests like this in our GitHub repo.
