Beskrywing
Chat Quote for WooCommerce is a lightweight WooCommerce plugin for on-site chat and WhatsApp quotes. Customers can request quotes, ask pre-sale questions, and start orders via WhatsApp — while every Free feature keeps working without a license.
When a customer messages from a product page, the product name, price, SKU, and link can be attached automatically so you know what they want right away.
Why choose Chat Quote for WooCommerce?
- Order on WhatsApp: Add an “Order on WhatsApp” or “Get a Quote” button near Add to Cart.
- Automatic Product Context: Product name, price, SKU, and URL can be drafted into the WhatsApp message.
- Built-in Live Chat Widget: AJAX-powered floating chat; messages are stored in your WordPress database.

{product_name},{product_price},{product_sku},{product_qty},{product_url}. - Mobile-Friendly & Lightweight: Assets load only where needed.
