Anyone know a plugin to 'add to quote' rather than cart?

I have what I think is a fairly simple challenge.

I'm looking for a plugin that will allow visitors to one of my websites to add products to a 'cart' or enquiry, and email them to the sales office for a quote, rather than add to cart to buy.

This is for a business that has variables, and is renting products out, so the prices are not fixed and need quoting on their own merit.

I have searched, and found that Woocommerce can work with plugins that kind of do what I need, but it still says 'Add to Cart' and has a price etc.

Any ideas guys?

    Adding a "translation" might work. If your shop is in en_GB, you could "translate" it to en_US with your modifications to the words and phrases you want changed. I've been using a plugin called Codestyling Localization for ad hoc translations. Of course, WooCommerce allows you to edit all the email templates and such from the settings.

    It's also possible to override WooCommerce's template files by having them in a certain subdirectory under your theme directory. This way they don't get overwritten by plugin updates, but if WooCommerce code changes too much, your site might stop working until you change the your version of the template files.

    What's your excuse?

      Right Click the "Add to Cart" button > View Image. This will give you the direct link to the image. If it is on your own server, you can edit it to say whatever you need.

      As far as removing the price goes, if you can find the PHP file that prints prices to the page, you will be able to easily edit it in Notepad. Try searching for files that contain "$%.02f", which prints a dollar sign followed by a value with two digits after the decimal: $72.00, for example. If that does not work, try only "%.02f".

      Good luck!

        Thanks for your reply.

        So you don't know of any plugins other than WooCommerce?

        All the best

      Hi

      Thanks for your reply.

      So would you say WooCommerce is the only real solution at the moment?

      I guess it's more of an enquiry generator that I need. Where the user adds the products to a 'wish list'.

      All the best
