Solutions
- Personal quote request
- Decrease cart abandonment
- Increase potential buyers
- Relieve price pressure
- Better shopping experience
- Help wholesale buyers
- Sell in a large number better
Price negotiation via a quote cart
With Magento 2 Request For Quote extension, customers are allowed to suggest their wished prices for multiple items at once very easily. The “Add to Quote” buttons are next to any products, allowing shoppers to add the items to a special cart anytime, called a quote cart. In the quote cart, customers can easily change the current prices of items to the new ones, then submit the quote cart to the store for negotiation.
This advanced function is very significant to both shoppers and customers. Shoppers can raise their affordable prices and store owners do not miss the potential customers.
Turn a shopping cart into a quote cart
A very interesting feature of Request For Quote module is that customers keep adding items to their shopping cart as usual and raise quotes later.
From the default shopping cart, shoppers can add one, some items, or even the whole cart to the quote cart with simple mouse clicks.
Customers can freely pick their beloved items to cart first and consider prices for later. This is an effective way to quicken customers' shopping behavior and reduce the pressure of store prices on customers.
Super convenient to request for quote
Shoppers can easily make a price quote because the Quote button is ready on multiple pages on the store site. All the positions are easy-to-reach for customers:
- Category Page: Add items to quote cart right when a buyer is surfing a Category page.
- Product Page: The quote cart button is placed under the “Add to cart” button on a Product page.
- Shopping Cart Page: As mentioned above, it is very easy to request quotes from the current shopping cart page.
Mass quote requests by SKUs
Suppose that you are a wholesaler with a long list of products you would like to buy from a store. However, it is very time-wasting if you add each item to the quote cart one by one. The solution is using SKUs to add multiple items at once.
With Request For Quote extension, there is a box allowing customers to enter instantly many SKUs. Then with one click of adding, all items with corresponding SKUs will appear on the quote cart.
This function is very friendly to the wholesale buyers whose orders contain different items and at a large volume.
Enable to customize the quote cart easily
On the "My quote cart" page, customers can not only add products by SKU but also freely customize their quote cart. After clicking the button, the products will be sent directly to the quote cart, enabling them to:
- Update the quote price and product quantity
- Add comments to the quote
- Attach additional files to provide more information about the pricing request
- Quickly delete or update the quote cart
Approve/ reject / modify a quote request
Store admins can approve or reject a quote request via one click at the backend. Meanwhile, customers (the quote requesters) are able to delete or cancel any quotes easily when they do not want to follow any more.
Either party can edit any quote in price/ qty and leave a response to another side. The flexibility in modifying a quote in online stores is very similar to a typical quote negotiation in real life.
Mutual-reply around a quote
To make customers and store admins discuss with each other smoothly during the quote negotiation, Request For Quote module supports mutual reply.
With requester, the comment box is always ready at the end of the quote cart page. Customers can send their messages to the stores easily and negotiate more conveniently.
Besides, at the store backend, the admin views a quote and sends a reply to the request right there. The conversation going along with every quote helps the price negotiation go smoothly, and both sides are more likely to reach an agreement.

I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent support and resolution provided by Tony from the Mageplaza team
I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent support and resolution provided by Tony from the Mageplaza team. From the moment I reported my issue, my ticket was promptly picked up and I received the help I needed immediately. Tony was extremely helpful and professional from the start. He took the time to thoroughly investigate the problem and kept me continuously updated on the progress. His technical expertise was evident in the way he identified and resolved the issue. The problem with the "add to quote" button not showing after an advanced search was quickly and effectively addressed. Tony ensured that the necessary adjustments were made and that the function worked properly again. I also appreciate the clear communication throughout the entire process. Tony asked targeted questions to better understand the situation and offered solutions tailored to our specific needs. This level of customer focus is exactly what a company needs to build trust with their clients. All in all, I am very satisfied with the service from Mageplaza and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you, Tony, for your hard work and dedication. Best regards, Ron Maris Webwinkelvisie
GREAT SUPPORT
I aquired this extension several months ago and after all that time, the module worked perfecly. The tech team supported me and helped me to install and fine tune the extension. Mageplaza as usual, offers high performance extensions and very reliable. Happy with this ones.
Easy installation
A wholesaler like us love this extension. Easy quote request and approval process, and it comes with quick installation, so double points for you Mageplaza!
VERY HELPFUL
At first, I didn't know which extension providers to choose. But I decided to go with Mageplaza because of positive reviews from their customers. And I was right. Will buy from you more in the future!
Effective
Customers can keep adding their items and then ask for quote afterthat, which is lovely. I can have more time to consider and reply to them and their shopping process is not interrupted. Don't think I need such an extension but you proved to me that your product was so effective.
Great Support
At first it was just ok, like every other extension. But later I enjoyed all the support I got from your team. It was the support that made Mageplaza different. Thanks so much. I will continue supporting you guys.
Wholeseller solution
My business is a wholesale one so I love this. My customers think it's great to be able to deal with the price. Very good extension. I really recommend this if you are wholesaling too.
