Description

WooCommerce Contact for Shipping Quote

WooCommerce Contact for Shipping Quote lets customers request a custom freight or courier price instead of seeing a generic rate at checkout.

Distributed by wpshop.net under the GPL license with lifetime free updates and limited email support.

📖 Detailed Overview

Some orders can’t be priced reliably by standard carriers—think furniture, machinery, large format prints, or cross-border freight. WooCommerce Contact for Shipping Quote adds a clear path for those complex scenarios. Define when to hide live rates and invite customers to request a quote, collect shipment data (address, lift-gate needs, delivery window, access constraints), and receive a structured request your team can price accurately. Once your quote is ready, reply with a manual shipping line item, send a payment link, or convert the request into a draft order—keeping your margins healthy and your customers informed.
