Dordam: Request a Quote + Negotiation

Dordam is a free WooCommerce quote plugin that lets customers request a custom quote and negotiate the price directly with your store — instead of buying at a fixed price.

Perfect for B2B stores, wholesale suppliers, custom-order shops, and any WooCommerce store where « Add to Cart » doesn’t fit every product. Turn price-sensitive shoppers into customers by letting them ask for a better deal, right on the product page.

Instead of « Add to Cart, » quote-enabled products show a « Request a Quote » button. The store admin reviews the request, sets a custom per-unit price, and Dordam emails the customer a secure, one-time checkout link. Customers can accept the offer or send back a counter-offer — for as many rounds as you allow — until you agree on a price.

Why store owners use Dordam

• Close more B2B and wholesale sales by letting bulk buyers negotiate instead of walking away from a fixed price.
• No coding required — enable quotes per product from the WooCommerce product editor in seconds.
• Real price negotiation, not just a one-way quote request — customers can counter-offer, and you control how many rounds are allowed.
• Secure by design — accepted prices are locked server-side, so a negotiated price can never be tampered with on the way to checkout.

Key features

Request-a-quote button

• Replace, or add alongside, the Add to Cart button — you choose the position (replace / before / after).
• Fully customizable button text.
• Enable quote requests per product, with an optional minimum order quantity.
• Quantity +/- stepper for a faster, more mobile-friendly experience.
• Real-time form validation (name, email, quantity) before the request is even submitted.

Multi-round price negotiation

• Customers can accept an offer or send a counter-offer — configurable round limit to prevent endless back-and-forth.
• A visual round-progress indicator shows customers exactly where they are in the negotiation.
• Clean, professional negotiation page design that customers see when responding to an offer.

Secure, tamper-proof checkout

• Once a price is agreed, the customer gets a unique link that adds the product to their cart at exactly that price.
• The negotiated price is locked server-side — it cannot be changed by the customer, ever.
• One-time use: once an order is placed, the link can’t be reused.

Email notifications, fully customizable

• Automatic emails for new quote requests, new offers, counter-offers, and order confirmations.
• Customers get a confirmation email the moment they submit a request.
• Set a custom « From Name » and « From Email Address » for all quote-related emails.

Spam & data protection

• Built-in honeypot spam protection for the quote request form — no CAPTCHA required.
• Optional: automatically delete all quote data when the plugin is uninstalled (off by default, so your history is safe).

Polish that customers notice

• Animated loading spinner while a request is submitting.
• Animated success checkmark on successful submission.
• Sticky quote button on mobile, so it’s always within reach while scrolling.

Who is Dordam for?

• B2B and wholesale WooCommerce stores that need flexible, negotiable pricing.
• Custom-order shops (furniture, signage, printing, made-to-order products) where a single fixed price doesn’t work.
• Any WooCommerce store owner who wants to stop losing price-sensitive customers to « contact us for a quote » dead ends.

How it works

1. Go to any Product > Edit > General tab and check « Enable Request a Quote ». Optionally set a minimum quantity.
2. Customers visiting that product see a quote request form instead of Add to Cart.
3. You get an email + a new entry under the « Quote Requests » admin menu.
4. Open the request, set your price per unit, and click « Send Offer to Customer ». They get an email with a unique accept link.
5. When they click it, the product is added to their cart at the negotiated price (locked server-side, cannot be altered by the customer) and they’re taken straight to checkout.
6. Once their order is completed, the quote is marked « Accepted » and the link can’t be reused.

How multi-round negotiation works (v1.1.0)

1. Admin sends an offer. The customer receives a link to a negotiation page (not straight to checkout).
2. On that page the customer can either « Accept & Continue to Checkout » or submit a counter-offer (a proposed price + optional note).
3. If they counter, the admin is emailed and can review it under Quote Requests in wp-admin, then send a new offer — which re-opens the same page for the customer.
4. This can repeat up to a configurable round limit (default: 5, change with the dordam_max_negotiation_rounds filter) to prevent endless back-and-forth.
5. Whenever the customer clicks Accept, the price is locked server-side and they’re sent straight to checkout, same as before.

Roadmap / Not yet included

• A logged-in customer dashboard showing their own quote history.
• Role-based / bulk pricing rule automation.
• Quote expiry (auto-expire offers after N days of inactivity).
• Admin-side « reject quote » action (currently admins simply stop responding, or send a very high offer, to end a negotiation).
