Quote option for vivid store

[jasonclaude]

Hi I am looking at extending this addon by adding a quote option to store, so that instead of selling the products a request quote button is displayed, not price is shown and on clicking the button the user is taken to a form similar to that used in the checkout process which will the user can then submit to get an estimate or quote.

Based on my perusal of the code this should be fairly simple as it merely involves adding a few more options and creating a dedicated single page to handle the quote process. Before I go ahead with this let me know your thoughts.

In addition to the above, are there any plans to allow plugins similar to WooCommerce? I am looking at generating invoices and / or documents at the point the user submits a quote / order but figure this should really be a separate project.

Edit: Just saw Mesuva's pull request adding pricing options.

First of all, this would be pretty easy to do with CSS. You could simply hide most of the stuff that shows a price, and use the "Invoice" payment method, which wouldn't bill your users. Shouldn't need an additional single page or anything like that.

I suppose there are a few hiccups though, for example, it emails a "receipt" after you complete the order. Maybe I should ask what the goals are? What exactly would you need different, and why do you need what you need?

You can also make add-ons and extensions to this all day long and bundle it up just like any other C5 package.
