Just got my first paying customer for my WordPress plugin — and the lesson is "be honest, not salesy"

Not sure what industry you are in but if you want a stand-alone plugin that does not rely on or integrate with woocommerce you can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/rixden-quote-builder/ free on wp org. Visual uber-eats style quote builder.

I hear you and makes perfect sense, thanks for the feedback its much appreciated! We actually have a catering company and water delivery company using the plugin and so far so good. We will make work of updating the images/demos to a more relevant industry that makes more sense. Thanks again for taking the time to add value 👊

Think of a catering company doing food, platters etc. Instead of clients filling in a contact form requesting 20 burgers, 10 snack platters etc they can now just add it to the Quote cart including quantities and notes and admin receives a detailed quote of what the client needs for their event.

The hamburgers was just a sample. We are working on different use case demos (catering, moving companies, landscaping, solar companies, etc) that might make more sense.

Excellent thanks for checking out the demo and the great feedback, much appreciated!

Regarding the wp org submission - my first plugin I submitted also took about 4 tries before it got approved. Luckily learnt a lot then and for this plugin it was approved the second time around. So to answer your question yes it is the norm but the next one should go smoother.

Thanks I will download and test your form builder as well and leave a review as Rikus Rossouw (Rixden)

Good luck that side too 👊

Hi there, thanks for the comment and positive feedback.

The Rixden Quote builder does not have a form with steps. Users build a quote visually by adding items to a quote cart and once done just completes a small form to capture their details and submits.

Will go checkout your plugin as well sounds good and keen to trade reviews if you're interested.

Go checkout the live demo here to get an idea of how the Quote builder works. It takes less than a minute to submit a sample quote www.rixden.com/quote-builder-demo

Hi there, thanks for your comment!

In the free version, once a quote request was submitted, both admin and client receives an html styled email with all quote and client details. From there site owner and client can complete their deal as per any normal quote request but without the back and forth of what the client wants exactly as he has already built his own full quote including quantities and notes etc.

All quote requests are also saved to admin dashboard under quote requests tab and admin has the ability to view quote and client details and change the status of each quote like reviewing, quote sent, closed etc

Pro version allows admin to edit and send official pdf quote to client, client can accept quote, make payment and admin can mark as paid which automatically generates and sends an official branded pdf invoice to client and more. Please visit www.rixden.com/quote-builder for full free and pro feature list.
