Handling Quote Expirations and Resubmissions

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 The Request a Quote plugin allows you to define a quote expiration time to create urgency and manage outdated quote requests efficiently.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).
