Recently, I created a website for a DJ equipment rental company in NYC. It was my job to launch his ecommerce store (an inventory of about 100 products) on WordPress WooCommerce. WooCommerce is a powerful WordPress plugin that makes it simple and easy to set up and run a basic ecommerce shop.

WooCommerce is a powerful WordPress plugin that makes it simple and easy to set up and run a basic ecommerce shop.
For this project, I used the Elementor Theme Builder and purchased the Royal Elementor Addon for $79.99. It’s a great add on with a variety of features, including hundreds of stylish templates for dozens of stores, services, and styles.
The addon syncs up with your WooCommerce products tabs (the place in WordPress where you input your product info). The templates provided offer WooCommerce grids that pull your product info and display it in neat and customizable ways.
I found these templates to be great starting points that helped me create beautiful online pages for the various categories my client wanted displayed on different pages. It took me a while, though, to find the right plugin that could change the default “Add to Cart” option with an “Add to Quote” option, and it took me even longer to create a menu item called “View Quote.”
I found this plugin from the official WooCommerce Marketplace. It’s $69.00 for a 1-year plan, and it has the basic features you need to set up a quote store, including a quote basket, a quote form, and an "Add to Quote" option which replaces every “Add to Cart” text on your product pages. Styling the buttons and making them responsive requires a bit of CSS code ChatGPT had no problem providing.
The plugin offers a quote basket you can add to your navigation menu, but if you want a more prominent quote button, add a custom button to your nav menu and link it to the short code Addify provides in the quote basket settings. That will give you a neat quote option to replace the standard add to cart WooCommerce setting.
While it’s a little disappointing that simple WooCommerce addons that should be free cost upwards of $60, the plugins do their job and run smoothly. Happy with the result.
