 * Thanks for the reply. I am trying to view the website from the Netherlands.
 * I just did a quick check of the documentation, and don’t see what I am looking
   for. I want to be able to show Project Notebooks on separate pages based on category.
   Is that possible?

 * I agree that this plugin has not been maintained well (sadly), but I question
   why any “developer” would install this on what I presume is a live site without
   having a backup!

 * Too bad about WPML.
 * I am still not having any luck. I first unchecked Make Discounts and Lists translatable.
   I then deactivated WCML and all WPML plugins and cleared the cache. I then created
   a new Discount and List. The discounts are still not applied. Any ideas?
 * Added note: I’m using variable products. I am seeing discounts applied when I
   do them manually per variable product.

 * Thanks for the update.
 * I’m working on the back-end more again with 1.5.2. The Tax/Vat issue I thought
   I had seems to be all working as it should. I had been confused on additional
   tax rates, because I had not seen the additional columns.
 * Overall it looks really flexible. I have only a few questions/requests — can 
   you believe that!
 * 1. About Notes to customer, I had expected the notes to be sent with the order
   after I had changed it to a pending status to allow payment by the customer, 
   but instead they were sent with all of the totals that I was still in the process
   of editing.
 * 2. About my previous post (items 5, 6, 7, and 8) about not logged in (guest) 
   and adding information to the RFQ Cart , I just tested this from the back-end
   with New Order > RFQ. Most of it seems to work, but I have not tested it extensively.
 * 3. Is the Add Meta intended to be used for variable products? I’m just trying
   to get an understanding of it’s use, and suspect that is it. I’m also confused
   about the Custom Fields and how they would be used.
 * 4. We use WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips (free version). Normally when
   a customer orders online they receive a copy of their invoice in PDF after checkout.
   I’m wondering if there is a way to send a PDF Quote after it is changed to a 
   pending status. This is important for us when it comes to RFQs, because usually
   they will need to go through a purchasing department for approval. I can very
   well imagine that this is a premium request, but would like to hear your input.
 * P.S. Although I have been working in WordPress for a while, I’m fairly new to
   WooCommerce. Please excuse my ignorance if some of the things I am asking about
   are stupid.

 * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checkout-or-request-a-quote/page/3/#post-7113457)
 * I just upgraded to Version 1.5.2, but I can’t see a lot that has changed. Here
   are a few more notes:
    1. Shop and product archive pages should show “Select 
   options” for variable products instead of “Add to Cart” and “Request Quote”. 
   Only on the single product page should it show “Request Quote” after the “Add
   to Cart”. 2. When entering multiple amounts in the single product page, it always
   shows up as only one in the RFQ Cart. 3. As mentioned previously, once placed
   in the RFQ Cart it shows “In RFQ” and only the amount can be modified in the 
   RFQ Cart. To handle multiple variable products it should stay as “Request Quote”
   for adding other variations (sizes, colors, etc.). 4. “View Your RFQ Cart” really
   needs to be a shortcode. In our use case scenario we have a “Teams” product archive
   page that lists only products of the cateogory “Teams” and there is no way for
   them to view the RFQ Cart. 5. When not logged in and adding information to the
   RFQ Cart, both the order and the e-mail notification showed “fname” and “lname”
   instead of First Name and Last Name as entered. 6. There was no option to input
   the Company Name. It also allowed a country that is not listed in the “Sell to
   specific countires only”. 7. There should also be a checkbox for “Create an account?”
   8. No e-mail notification was received by the user. 9. Woo-RFQ is making all 
   required fields show with a double asterisk — also in the the standard Cart. 
   10. The “Message” a required field in the RFQ Cart, which I don’t see any reason
   it should be? 11. In general, I preferred the way I “think” checkout was done
   earlier with using the standard WooCommerce checkout form and having a payment
   gateway or hook for “Request Quote”. I also think this would make it more consistent
   and easier for styling and upgrade compatibility.
 * P.S. Still no time to test the glitch with Tax/VAT updating.

 * Thanks for the clarity. I also think variable products may have worked in my 
   limited testing on an earlier version. I don’t think I would have gone further
   if it did not. I can wait a few weeks for the production deadline, and really
   would like to help in any way that I can to see you go further with this. If 
   you want help with documentation, please let me know.
 * I’m glad you are open to input. Now that I know that you are probably taking 
   this further, I will continue with more testing. Here are a few notes:
 * I don’t know if I just had not gone far enough on this before, or if you added
   more functioinality, but I really like the options, Add line items, Tax, Refund,
   etc.
 * I like that I can modify the Tax/VAT, and will use that for B2B customers in 
   Europe.
 * I thought in a previous version I could edit the cost price. In my view that 
   would make it easier than editing the total when it comes to doing the maths.
 * This is minor, but maybe it would be more intuitive to put “Save” after each 
   row if space allows. I need to teach a user who is not tech savy and I think 
   this will be confusing.
 * And this is a total out there request. It would be great if I could just give
   a cart percentage discount so I did not need to edit every product. In our use
   case scenario this would be for wholesale, affiliates and bulk ordering for teams,
   all of which may have different percentage discounts.
 * When I went through our use case scenario I seem to be having a glitch with Tax/
   VAT updating. I’m a bit short on time, but I’ll send you more input on that soon.

 * So does that mean it’s a bug, and not a decision to limit functionality in the
   free version? I’m asking because I would rather not need to look for other solutions
   if the aim is to get variable products working sometime soon.

 * I like that it creates the order on the back-end that can be edited. That is 
   what makes the approach better than most others that just send e-mails. You’re
   on a good track, and I’m impressed that you only started with WP in 2015. What
   country are you guys located (just curious)?

 * I don’t see anything wrong with going for a Pro version, but personally, I think
   it’s better to have a strong core with the free version first. For example, item
   1. to be able to request a quote for the a product in different variations is
   a show stopper for us, and probably for many with variable products.
 * I think the concept of your plugin is good, and you seem to support it well and
   be active with it. Usually when I invest in premium it is only when core functionality
   is robust, with a good track record for support, and the premium gives extra’s
   that will save time/money on upgrades or gives “nice to have”, but not “required”,
   extra features. I’ve been working with WP since about 2005, and I don’t think
   I’m in the minority with my approach.
 * If I need to start all over I will need to take a completely different approach
   in WooCommerce using other free plugins. Should the shop grow more, the possibility
   for a premium plugin is much higher, but I need to prove that to the shop owner
   with required functionality working first. Just my 2 cents as they say.

 * Brilliant! Thanks a lot for fixing it. Also, thanks for noticing it is multi-
   lingual (WPML) and providing the filters. I look forward to having GetText calls
   working, especially with 5 languages (any idea when, because maybe I will wait)?
   Just as a heads-up, I may also use this on a site with q-Translate-X and those
   filters would be nice to have also (see [https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration](https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/integration)).
 * As you probably guessed, I now have a couple more questions/requests:
 * 1. We need to be able to request a quote for the same product in different variations
   such as size and colour for bulk orders. Currently once it is requested it shows“
   In RFQ” and only the amount can be modified in the RFQ Cart. I would prefer that
   it stays as “Request Quote”, with the “View Your RFQ Cart” coming after it if
   something exists in the RFQ Cart.
 * 2. Any chance that you can give an option
    for the position of the “View Your
   RFQ Cart” on a product archive page? I would prefer a choice for top or bottom
   of the page. Possibly having a shortcode for that would be useful also.
 * 3. This is related to the previous question 2. Ideally it would be nice to have
   a displayable page, something like “My RFQs”, that could be used in a menu, widget,
   etc. As you might have seen, we are also using [YITH WooCommerce Wishlist](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yith-woocommerce-wishlist),
   and I find that way of displaying easier to style and for logged in customers
   to have access to it before sending an RFQ from the front-end. There are probably
   reasons that this may not work, but I thought I would mention it in case it can.
 * I’m more than happy to send you another login/password if you want to do any 
   testing on the site. Just let me know.
