A client visits the site, sees a product, and wants not just to "add to cart," but to discuss price, volume, and customization. In B2B this is normal: requesting a quote before the deal. But standard WooCommerce doesn't provide this out of the box, the "Buy" button assumes a fixed price, not negotiation.

We tested current WordPress plugins that add "request a quote" functionality to a site. From heavy B2B combines to lightweight form builders with quote templates, we collected 7 tools that solve the task in 2026. Without tying to a "best plugin overall": each one for its own scenario.

💡 Quick overview:

• Choose a plugin for the task: WooCommerce integration or standalone form?
• Compare prices: from free Lite versions to $297/year for Wholesale Suite
• Configure fields, statuses and email notifications for your approval process

Plugin comparison table

1. Request a Quote for WooCommerce

The closest to a "full B2B layer" plugin in this entire collection. Developed by the Addify team and sold through the official WooCommerce Marketplace. Installs as a regular WooCommerce extension.

The client adds products not to the cart, but to a quote basket, a separate "request cart." They collect items, fill out a form with contact details and fields you define yourself, and submit. The administrator sees the request in the dashboard, changes status (Pending → In Process → Approved), edits prices if needed, and converts to an order.

Rules can be adjusted for roles: for retail, regular cart, for wholesalers, quote only, for guests, a "Log in" button instead of prices. In version 2.9.1 they added popup submission: the form opens over the page without reload.

Pros:

• Native WooCommerce integration, all products, variations, categories at hand
• Flexible rule system by roles and product groups
• Quote → order conversion in two clicks from dashboard
• Quote mini-cart in header (like the regular cart)

Cons:

• No free version, only $69/year (product page)
• Tight WooCommerce dependency: useless without it

💵 Price: $69/year (1 site, 30-day refund, current price).

⁉️🤔 Frequent questions

Can you get by without a plugin at all, just a Contact Form 7 form?

You can, but it's like hammering nails with a screwdriver. CF7 doesn't give request statuses, doesn't link WooCommerce products, doesn't calculate cost on the fly. For occasional requests from private clients, it works. But if quote is part of the business process, take a specialized tool: you'll lose less time on manual calculation.

How does a quote plugin differ from a cost calculator?

Quote is a price request to the seller: the client says "I want this," you calculate and reply. A calculator is automatic calculation on the site by set formulas (area × material × coefficient). Some plugins, for example Formidable Forms, can do both: the calculator gives a preliminary number, and the "Request exact quote" button starts the manual process.

Which plugin to choose if the store is on WooCommerce?

If budget allows, Request a Quote for WooCommerce ($69/year on official page): role rules, quote cart, conversion to order. If you need a free start, WISDM Product Enquiry Pro Lite: "Request a quote" button on product page and conversation with client. If there's no store but there are services, Sliced Invoices will close the "estimate → invoice → payment" cycle.

Is it mandatory to pay for the Pro version?

Not always. Sliced Invoices Lite gives quote + PayPal, Wholesale Prices Lite gives wholesale prices for one role, WPForms Lite + manual form assembly is a working request without automation. Paid tiers add automation: Conditional Logic, Stripe, CSV, calculators. You pay for request processing speed, not for the ability to receive them.

How to protect a quote form from spam?

Most plugins work with reCAPTCHA/CAPTCHA out of the box. WPForms and Formidable Forms add it with a checkbox in form settings. WISDM supports captcha in Pro. A separate anti-spam plugin (Akismet, CleanTalk) will cover the quote form, comments, and registration, set up once and forget.

What to install for your task?

If you have a WooCommerce store and B2B clients, start with Request a Quote for WooCommerce. Request cart and role rules cover the "retail sees prices, wholesale requests" scenario without hacks. Budget is limited, WISDM Product Enquiry Lite: button on product page and conversation with client for free.

No store, you're a freelancer or service, Sliced Invoices: client gets a branded estimate, you get invoice and payment acceptance. Need a simple form without extras, Request a Quote Form (completely free, one shortcode).

Building complex calculators and visualizing data, take Formidable Forms. Want to assemble a quote form with a mouse in 10 minutes, WPForms. Wholesale B2B with hundreds of products, Wholesale Suite.

Don't delay installation: every day without a quote form is lost B2B requests that go to competitors with a "Request a quote" button.
