For many businesses, providing upfront pricing isn't always the best way to engage customers. Some products or services require custom quotes based on specific customer needs. That’s where adding a "Request a Quote" feature to your website can make all the difference.
This capability is essential for businesses that offer customized products or services because it creates a streamlined way to engage prospects, tailor quotes to their needs, and ultimately close more deals. However, Wix users often struggle to add this feature seamlessly. Luckily, with WD Tech’s Request a Quote app, integrating this tool into your Wix website is now easier than ever.
Why “Request a Quote” is Crucial for Your Business
Adding a “Request a Quote” feature allows you to provide flexible pricing options without overwhelming your customers with numbers upfront. By allowing potential buyers to ask for a personalized quote, you open up a dialogue that can lead to a better understanding of their needs and more opportunities to customize your offering to match their requirements. This can build trust, increase conversion rates, and help close deals faster.
Moreover, businesses that deal in wholesale, custom manufacturing, or service-based industries often find that pricing varies greatly based on quantities, specifications, or timelines. A “Request a Quote” tool removes the friction of a fixed-price structure, giving both sides more room to negotiate and build relationships.
With the Request a Quote App, you can easily create a workflow that lets customers inquire about pricing for specific items they’re interested in purchasing—directly from their cart.
Here’s how to get started:
Step-by-Step: How to Add "Request a Quote" on Your Wix Site
It takes only a few, simple steps to learn how to add request a quote on your Wix website. And the best part? No coding required!
1) Install the Request a Quote App from the Wix App Market
The first step is to go to the Wix App Market and install the Request a Quote app by WD Tech. This will allow you to turn your eCommerce platform into a quote-friendly tool.
2) Decide Whether You Want to Show Pricing on Your Site
Not all businesses want to display prices alongside their products. If you decide not to show prices, follow these steps:
Remove pricing from your category page and product detail page.
Make sure that when customers add items to their cart, it does not automatically open the mini cart with the price displayed.
Change the "Add to Cart" button text to something like "Add to Quote." This indicates to your customers that they’re building a quote request rather than immediately purchasing items.

3) Add the Request a Quote Form to Your Cart Page
One of the great features of our app is that it lets users request a quote on items already in their cart.
Add the request form to your cart page, where users can fill out the necessary information to submit their inquiry.
WD Tech’s form offers flexibility with different field options:
Contact information fields (name, email, phone number)
Text fields for additional information
Radio selection to offer choices (e.g., delivery options, customization choices)
Date selection for specific timelines
File uploads if users need to attach files (e.g., product specifications or design samples).
4) Remove Online Checkout (Optional)
If you do not want to allow any form of online checkout and want to exclusively offer quotes, you’ll need to take an extra step:
Enable Developer Mode in your Wix account.
Select the Wix cart in the panel and choose Hide. This ensures that users will not see the option to checkout when they build their quote.
Watch the video below to see this in practice.
Next, add the quote review widget from the app widgets section under “Elements.” This tool allows customers to manage their cart without seeing prices or being able to proceed to payment.
By following these steps, your customers can submit quote requests quickly and efficiently, all while interacting with a clean and user-friendly interface.
