Remember when we said there's only one plugin that can handle whatever quote request forms you need? It's our WordPress form builder, Formidable Forms (#humblebrag)! Everything about a request for quote plugin is based on web forms. So a form builder is a natural choice.

While it's true that you could go for one of the instant quote WordPress plugins, the fact is that a form builder can do the same thing. Here's the kicker: a forms plugin can be a total solution for your site.

If you are a WooCommerce user, you are probably familiar with the idea of using extensions to add more features to the plugin. In truth, Formidable can do everything this plugin by YITH can do. But we can still recommend this one highly for some users.

But this one might be a good request a quote option if you want a no-setup solution. It has a few basic functions that it does very well with no leg work required on your end. YITH claims to be the #1 selling of independent WooCommerce plugins. It is very well-reviewed, that's for sure.

The core feature of this plugin: it allows you to hide prices and/or add to cart buttons and let your customers request a custom quote for every product. If you want to keep pricing vague for your customers, this will work (although we aren't sure why you'd want to do that).

Rating: 4.9 stars (29 reviews) | 2,000+ Active Installations

If all you need on your site is a page where users can request a quote or more information, then this plugin could do it. The free version will allow you to create a form and even stores the data in the plugin on your WordPress site.

This is one of the plugins that does not have the ability to calculate prices in the free version. So you won't be able to use it to create an instant quote, for example.

It has a pro version that provides added spam protection, custom fields, and a form builder. Sadly the free version doesn't include the form builder, so don't expect many customization options. Still, this could work for you totally free if your needs are basic.

4. eCommerce Product Catalog Plugin for WordPress

So if you know what kind of online store you are building, this could be a very good choice. This is useful for service providers who also sell products.

For example, maybe you are a designer who also sells printing services. Your users could request a specific quote that combines the variable cost of printing and asks for the price of your design services.

5. WooCommerce - Quote Request or Enquiry

This is another quote request plugin extension for WooCommerce. It works by giving you the option to turn shop mode on or off. In off mode, your product catalog with be displayed, but the shopping features will be removed.

It's really just another way of doing the same thing that the YITH plugin described above does. But there are some other noteworthy additions that could be suitable depending on your setup. Plus they have a nifty quote basket feature that users seem to love.

For example, it works with AJAX, so if you have an AJAX store you'll need that. It also integrates with contact form 7, a popular contact form plugin that many users combine with WooCommerce.

7. WP Invoicing (Contact Form 7 Addon)

Free and premium (from $99/year)

Rating: 4.0 stars (9 reviews) | 3,000+ Active Installations

One of the downsides of the Sliced Invoices plugin above is that there is no real mechanism for soliciting requests for a quote. WP Invoicing works in a way that bridges that gap (sort of). W say sort of because it requires a number of plugins and add-ons to function properly.

For this setup to function, you need a whopping 3 plugins. Luckily, two of them are free. Once you have all of them installed, you'll be able to add a quote request form on your WordPress site to collect requests.
