Quote system

[gazag]

Hello all i am trying to edit the awesome zen-cart system for a client that only wants his customers to request a quote from his website not actually purchase.

I have successfully edited the the buttons and product listing so that the items only say please add to quote instead of buy now.

I am trying to edit the checkout part of this - i have installed COWOA which is fine and have removed all references to price,sub-total and total on the first stage.

Can someone help me how i can skip the payment and shipping part of checkout?

All i need is the customers contact information ie name, address and email and what they want quoted which is the first part of the checkout process.

Any help much appreciated - i will package this up and post it to the plugins section once completed as i am sure others would be interested.

I'll keep an eye on this thread as it's something I could be potentially looking for in the near future.

Hello all... i am making quite good progress on this thanks to picandnix.

I have successfully got a two page checkout process but would like to know if there is anyway to move the comments section of the shipping/payments checkout pages onto the bottom of the shopping_cart page.

Comments is a field my client wants if i can get that moved over then i will have the shopping cart page and when you click to "submit quote" instead of the default "go to checkout" it will take you straight to the confirmation page bypassing all the payment and shipping information which is irrelevant in this situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK i got this figured out - i will upload a sample installation pack for the forum to try out once i have it packaged up.

There are two versions one which is based on COWOA and one based on the minimum info mentioned earlier in this post.

You will need to set your items as virtual with a $0.00 cost.
Disable your shipping estimator - ADMIN > CONFIGURATIONS > SHIPPING/PACKAGING

I need to finish this off and package correctly but it is a start - the files are set up to go into the classic template system at the moment. I have not done anything with the email templates yet.

**ONLY INSTALL ON A NEW VERSION OF ZEN-CART AND BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP**

If using the COWOA version you will need to run the SQL patch.

Let me know what you guys think

The COWOA version does not have the option to create an account
The other version does.....

My client decided he didn't want his customers to have to worry about creating an account thus i have the two version...
