Guide to use free version

Free version of YITH Request a Quote for WooCommerce allows shop users to send quote requests by selecting one or more products (both simple and variable products) of your shop. Administrator will receive the request by email, whereas the plugin doesn’t provide for any sending. Administrator must recover users’ email to reply to their request.
Below we analyze how a quote request is calculated and all the plugin features.
