Possibilities for price request

[Mindsick]

I don't want any payment and shipping options.

I just want a simple showroom, where the customer can browse through the products and fill the shopping cart.
At the end he klicks a button called "send request" or so (NOT "buy" or "complete order") and i will (automatically) get an email with the desired products of the customer.
I will estimate the prices and manually send back an email to the customer with all relevant information for finishing the order.

I dont want any payment or shipping options!
The problem with the showroom mode is this "contact us" button. It's totaly wothless, because you get linked to a contact site with no refer to the desired product.
And its not even possible to choose multiple products.

Are there any possibilities?

So, working down the line of "concerns" at each presented screen the text can be modified to display what is desired, but a central aspect of ZC operation is that a payment option and a shipping option must be selected. Anything other than that requires unique coding for the store. Given one item each of those, and the guest would only need to fill in the information applicable such as what you would want when the "product" is complete: where to ship the item, etc... The other parts can be modified to suit as far as display, and this would all lead to a final "purchase" presenting whatever information you want displayed including both parties (them and you) receiving an emil with details of the request.

As for the call me functionality, I believe there is an add on to request information about a product via email. Would have to look at the plugin list.

Ok, thanks for your Response.

I would really appreciate it, if anyone got a better solution for the Problem.

So, while you continue to wait for others to respond with a solution to your problem(s), it would help to identify what version of ZC you have installed to get you past the install of RFQ Shipping and Payment Module (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=324).

I would also recommend reviewing the posting guidelines that appear when making a post (typically just above the text entry area) and ensure that the applicable information is provided here. Good luck and welcome to ZC!

Do you need anything to be stored in the database? And is your whole store for every product like this where everything needs a quote to order? If no database information needs to be passed over, I would just make a custom form and include a button on the cart page. On this custom form, it can take any details you need such as billing/shipping info, products that are in the cart along with attributes, etc...

Or if you wanted to keep the checkout process you may want to download the COWOA mod so customers do not have to create an account. From there, you can skip the shipping and payment options by forcing the session to be set. For instance for virtual products, the session array is set this way which you can do the same by taking away the conditional on virtual products. And in that array just put your new language in to instead show free and such, just put request a quote.

For the payment page you can either set the session again OR you can modify the check/money order language to request a quote. This way your checkout process flow will go from no_account page to last step of order_confirmation. The one caveat though is that on the confirmation page you will want to edit the button for edit addresses to go straight to the checkout_shipping_address page and not checkout_shipping. Same for payment address.

Yes I'm gonna store a lot of articles in the database ! I will use the "Easy Populate" Plugin. And yes i want to make it possible for the customer to request a Quote on every constellation of products possible. No Prices online.
