YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote Premium

YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote Premium

Transform your WooCommerce store from a static catalog into a dynamic negotiation platform with YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote Premium. This powerful extension removes fixed prices, hides “Add to Cart” buttons, and invites customers to request personalized quotes, bringing the age-old art of bargaining to your online shop.

Designed for businesses that sell custom, bulk, or high-ticket items, the YITH Quote plugin keeps conversations alive, protects your margins, and ultimately boosts conversions by guiding shoppers through a tailored sales process. Usage Scenarios:

• Custom Manufacturing & Wholesale: a furniture maker sells bespoke tables that vary by wood type, dimensions, and finishing. With Request a Quote Premium, visitors select the model, click “Add to Quote,” specify their requirements, and receive a tailored proposal with bulk-order discounts. Once accepted, the quote converts to an order—streamlining both negotiation and fulfillment.
• Professional Services: digital marketing agency packages services (SEO audits, content strategy, PPC campaigns) in a WooCommerce catalog. Since each project scope differs, they hide prices and prompt clients to request quotes. Using the plugin’s follow-up reminders, they re-engage leads who haven’t responded, boosting quote-to-contract conversion rates.
• B2B & Industrial Supplies: supplier of industrial fasteners lists hundreds of SKU variations. Rather than listing flat prices, the site prompts logged-in wholesalers to request quotes, preserving margin flexibility. The admin uses the built-in CSV export to integrate quotes into their ERP system for streamlined order processing.
• Event Planning & Rentals: an event company offers tents, lighting rigs, and sound systems for rent. Pricing depends on event duration, location, and add-ons. Request a Quote Premium lets customers assemble their package in the cart, convert it into a quote, and finalize details before checkout, reducing back-and-forth emails.
