Hi folks,
I’m unsure if this is the correct forum to be posting in so forgive me if I should be posting elsewhere. I want to pick your WooCommerce brains here about a feature I’m looking to implement. Perhaps someone here has done similar and can suggest an appropriate plugin or code change
On a site I’ll be setting up shortly, some of the products on the site can’t be sold “directly” as the customer can choose to avail of an install service for these products. This install service certainly can’t be sold directly (!) as each job requires seperate pricing based on location and other factors. I imagine the workflow as something like this…
1. Customer browses to a product that has the optional install service
2. Customer ticks “include install” on the product page and adds to cart
3. At cart checkout, the customer will be notified that this order requires a quote
4. Obviously the customer cannot proceed to pay for the order – the only option now being to proceed and submit their contact details and await a quote
5. After this, I’m not too worried about back-end integration. An email to the owner with the order and the prospects contact details would suffice perfectly
Has anyone done something similar in Woo? I’ve seen this feature implemented – rather shoddily I’ll admit – on sites running Magento but I’m not familiar with said platform at all. The Magento implementation seemed to be triggering a “Requires Quote” shipping method so perhaps it is through shipping methods they were implementing the quote feature
Many thanks,
C
