🆕 New

Here’s a roundup of all the new features included in this version:

Customizable Quote Request Form

By popular demand, you can now create and manage form fields for your quote request forms. This powerful feature allows you to collect exactly the information you need from customers when they request a quote, replacing the default form fields with your own customized fields.

How It Works:

1. Create Form Fields

With this feature, you can add form fields to your quote request form with complete flexibility:

• Multiple Field Types: Choose from text, textarea, email, number, select dropdown, or checkbox fields
• Field Configuration: Set field labels, placeholders, required status, and display order
• Flexible Options: For select fields, add multiple options (one per line) to create dropdown menus
• Easy Management: Activate, deactivate, duplicate, or delete fields as needed

2. Replace Default Fields

When you create form fields, they replace the default form fields (Name, Email, Message) on the quote request form. This means:

• If you have no form fields or all form fields are inactive: The default form with Name, Email, and Message fields will be displayed
• If you have active form fields: Only your form fields will be displayed (plus Privacy Policy and User Registration if enabled)

Key Benefits:

• Collect Specific Information: Gather business-specific details such as company name, phone number, budget range, or project requirements
• Control Field Order: Arrange fields in the exact order you want them to appear using sort order values
• Required or Optional: Mark fields as required or optional based on your needs
• Better Data Collection: Get all the information you need upfront to provide accurate quotes

Example Use Case:

A B2B furniture store wants to collect specific information from wholesale customers. They create form fields for:

• Company Name (Text, Required)
• Phone Number (Text, Required)
• Business Type (Select: Retailer, Restaurant, Hotel, Office, Other)
• Project Budget (Select: Under $10,000, $10,000 – $50,000, $50,000 – $100,000, Over $100,000)
• Delivery Address (Textarea, Required)
• Special Requirements (Textarea, Optional)

The quote request form now collects all necessary information upfront, allowing the store owner to provide more accurate quotes and better serve their B2B customers.

User Registration via Quote Form

We’ve introduced a new feature that allows customers to automatically create a WordPress account when they submit a quote request. This helps you build your customer database while providing a seamless registration experience during the quote request process.

How It Works:

1. Three Registration Options

You can choose from three registration options in the plugin settings:

• No: User registration is disabled. The “Create an account?” checkbox will not appear on the quote request form.
• Make it optional: Users can choose whether to create an account. A “Create an account?” checkbox appears on the form (optional, not required).
• Force user to register: Account creation is mandatory for all quote requests. The checkbox appears with a required asterisk (*).

2. Automatic Account Creation

When a customer opts to create an account (or registration is forced), the system:

• Checks for existing users with the same email address
• Creates a new account if needed with:
  • Username generated from the email address
  • Automatically generated secure password (12 characters)
  • User role set to “Customer”
  • Display name and first name from the quote request
• Sends a welcome email with the generated password

Key Benefits:

• Automatic Account Creation: Customers can create accounts without a separate registration process
• Build Customer Database: Grow your customer base automatically as customers request quotes
• Improved Customer Experience: Seamless registration integrated into the quote request flow
• Flexible Options: Choose to make registration optional or mandatory
• Password Management: System automatically generates secure passwords and emails them to users

Example Use Cases:

• B2C Store: Use “Make it optional” for user choice
• B2B Store: Use “Force user to register” for full account-based quote flow
• Simple Store: Use “No” for a simple quote request without account creation

Quote Notes in View Requests

A new feature now lets you add internal notes or customer-facing notes to each quote request. This helps you better manage conversations, track follow-ups, and maintain detailed records throughout the quote process.

How It Works:

1. Two Types of Notes

You can add:

• Private note – visible only to administrators
• Note to customer – emailed to the customer automatically

2. Email Notifications

When adding a customer note:

• The note is saved
• An email is sent with note content and quote details

Key Benefits:

• Internal Documentation
• Customer Communication

Example Use Case:

• Private Note: “Customer requested rush delivery. Check inventory.”
• Customer Note: “Thanks for your interest. We’re preparing your quote.”
• Private Note: “Customer is price-sensitive; consider payment plan.”
• Customer Note: “Your quote is ready!”
