Mageplaza Request a Quote (RFQ)

Get started with MP Request a Quote (RFQ)

Introduction

Welcome. This quick guide helps you set up and use MP Request a Quote (RFQ) without needing technical skills. You’ll let shoppers request quotes, negotiate prices, and convert accepted quotes to Shopify Draft Orders. Everything runs inside your Shopify admin.

What does this app do?

  • Lets customers submit quote requests on eligible products or collections
  • Gives merchants a central quote inbox with search, filters, bulk actions, and editing
  • Supports negotiation chat between buyer and merchant, with optional file attachments
  • Tracks the full quote lifecycle: Need Send Quote → Sent → Under Negotiation → Accepted / Declined / Expired
  • Auto-creates a Shopify Draft Order when a quote is accepted, so buyers can check out
  • Provides email templates for each stage and optional SMTP to send with your mail server
  • Adds a floating Quote widget and buyer portal so customers can manage quotes on the storefront

Who should use this app?

  • B2B and wholesale stores that need custom pricing before checkout
  • Merchants selling configured or high-ticket items that require approval
  • Stores that want to hide prices and handle quotes instead of instant purchases

💡 You can refer to our MP Hide Price & Access Control app for more advanced features.

Before you begin
