What It Does

Email Inquiry & Cart Options for WooCommerce allows you to fine tune the e-commerce accessibility on your WooCommerce site by setting rules that apply to all site visitors. Fine tune access to the e-commerce function for logged in users by assigning the rules to WordPress user roles, including the WooCommerce Customer and Store Manager roles.

Add a space saving and impressive pop-up email inquiry form to your product offering. The pop-up email inquiry form is 100% mobile responsive and displays beautifully on any mobile device in portrait or landscape.

Catalog visibility rules include hiding product prices and the add to cart button for non-logged in users, while showing an email inquiry button for logged in users. You can configure which user roles each rule applies to, giving you fine-grained control over what your account holders can see and access once they are logged into your site.

The email inquiry form uses the WordPress email configuration and requires no external email plugin. It instantly adds a product email inquiry button to every product page, with options for customization. The form is fully mobile responsive and can be styled from the plugin settings.

The plugin also supports GDPR compliance features, allowing you to include a privacy policy statement and terms and conditions acceptance checkbox on the form. If you are a coder, you can add your own styles by copying template files into your theme.

Premium support and advanced features are available with the Email Inquiry Ultimate premium version upgrade.
