Quotes may have a limited validity period. The Request a Quote plugin allows you to define a quote expiration time to create urgency and manage outdated quote requests efficiently.
Setting the Quote Expiration Time
- Go to WooCommerce > Request a Quote.
- In the General Settings tab, find the option: Quote Expiration Time.
- Select a predefined duration (e.g., 1 day, 7 days, 30 days).
- Save the settings.
Once this is configured, every quote request will carry an expiration deadline automatically.
What Happens When a Quote Expires?
- The quote will no longer be valid for conversion into an order.
- Admins can manually update, delete, or resend the quote.
- Users may need to resubmit the quote if the expiration has passed.
How Users Can Resubmit Expired Quotes
There’s currently no automatic quote resubmission flow, but you can:
- Send a follow-up email encouraging them to re-request a quote.
- Enable quote button visibility so they can re-add the product.
Pro Tip
If you want to offer auto-renewal of quotes, consider adding custom logic via hooks (see developer documentation).
