Quote Calculation System
Quote Calculation System is a comprehensive tool for vehicle rental and transfer businesses. It allows customers to request quotes based on vehicle hourly rates and flexible pickup/drop-off locations.
Version 2.0.0 is a complete modern rewrite! It transitions from an instant-booking model to a professional Quote Request System. Direct PayPal integration has been removed to give administrators full control over pricing, duration verification, and offline payment collection.
Key Features
- Quote Request System: Customers submit their details and receive an estimated price. Admins review the request and confirm the exact price via email.
- No Direct PayPal: PayPal integration has been removed. This allows you to verify routes, adjust for traffic/duration, confirm the exact final price, and collect payments via your preferred method (bank transfer, cash, or manual PayPal invoices).
- Flexible Text-Based Locations: Customers can type in exact pickup and drop-off addresses instead of being restricted to a predefined dropdown list.
- Vehicle-Centric Hourly Pricing: Prices are calculated simply as
Hourly Rate × Duration. No complex route matrices to manage. - Database Booking Management: All quote requests are saved to the WordPress database under a dedicated « Bookings » menu. Never lose a lead!
- Automated Email Notifications:
- Admins receive an instant email with all booking details.
- Customers receive a confirmation email upon submission.
- Customers receive automated email updates when you change the booking status (e.g., from « Quote Requested » to « Confirmed » or « Paid »).
- Modern & Secure Architecture: Built using native WordPress Custom Post Types. 100% jQuery-free, fully sanitized, and compliant with the latest WordPress.org security standards.
- Backward Compatible: Your old
[quote-system]shortcodes still work perfectly.
How It Works
- Add Vehicles: Go to Vehicles > Add New. Set the vehicle name, upload a featured image, and set the Hourly Rate.
- Customer Requests Quote: The customer fills out the form with their pickup/drop-off addresses, date, and estimated duration.
- Admin Reviews: You receive an email and can view the request in your WordPress Dashboard under « Bookings ».
- Confirm & Collect: You contact the customer with the final price, update the booking status to « Confirmed » or « Paid », and collect payment offline.
