Exactly! It would be perfect!

Hi, I see it is quite a challenge. But in the example you gave it wouldn’t be the onus of the admin, because customer has to accept or reject proposal and only after that he pays it. In woocommerce quatation plugin for example, the customer don’t even see the price (product set with no price) an advance and his order appears as “quote request” and the price field of the order as “price not proposed yet”. So customer is aware of the process. Thats why I though this plugin would satisfy the use case completely.

There are several markets, specially in services, where it is impossible to set a price an advance due to many subjective and objective variables. It is the case for many suppliers in the events industry (my market place). Thats why the alternative of pre setting a “guess” price is not acceptable. It would indeed cause admin issues to communicate with vendors. I see a few freelancers platforms working successfully with no price though.

So as almost the whole process works fine with woo quotation, I was wondering if maybe there is some other plugin that does the similar things but disconnected from woo “orders and payments”. Like an independent complementary plugin. Some type of inquiries plugin with customized submission fields, where users request a quote, vendors reply, user accepts/denies/interacts, but the order and payments are outside the platform according to their user/vendors negociated rules.

Sorry for the long text! :-). I really need to get this done.

Best Regards

Hi, I installed ultimate and tried both quotation plugins (woocommerce and YITH). Everything seems to work fine with both one with one exception so far in both: the vendor can not edit the order price to reply request to client. I have checked vendors capabilities and all product and orders features are checked. Admin can not edit the order price in the front end either, but in the back end. Prints from Woocommerce Quotation plugin (the one I am currently trying).

My use case: I have an event suppliers market place where most of the times the supplier can not set a product price an advance. So they normally receive a quote request from customers, estimate price and send a proposal to customer, who accept or not.

Thanks Silvio

Also in the order tab I don’t see the session where we are supposed to send the proposal

No, there is only one integration in my admin front end: Listing (WP Job Manager). Is it because I have free version only?

This tab is only appearing for me (site admin and only back end, not front end) but not for registered vendors. Am I missing smoething?

Hi There. I installed the suggested quotation plugin. It seems to work fine but the Product Quote Tab only appears in the backend view. Also the order proposal and price editing fields just appears in the back end view. How to make them visible for vendors editing in the front end so that vendors can add quotation products and send proposals in the front end?

Thanks

Silvio
