HexalianRequest for Quote — B2B Catalog Mode for Odoo
Replace Add to Cart with Request a Quote. Hide prices, create B2B quotations from your e-commerce catalog.
Request for Quote — B2B Catalog Mode
Replace "Add to Cart" with "Request a Quote" on your Odoo store
Overview
Transform your store into a B2B quote-based catalog
The Request for Quote module replaces the standard "Add to Cart" button with "Request a Quote" buttons throughout your Odoo e-commerce store. Customers browse products, request personalized pricing, and your sales team receives automatic notifications.
Choose from four scope options: enable quote mode for all products, configure per-product on individual product forms, select specific products, or apply by product category.
Each quote request automatically creates a draft Sales Order in the Odoo backend. Sales teams can review requirements, adjust pricing, and convert to formal quotations.
Two professionally designed email templates provide instant notifications: one for the sales team with full request details, and a confirmation for the customer.

[Frontend] Shop & Product Pages
See the quote experience from the customer's perspective
Shop Grid — Quote Button & Request Price
When browsing the /shop page, products in quote mode display the "Request a Quote" button directly on the product card. If the Hide Prices option is enabled, prices are replaced with a "Request Price" badge featuring a lock icon — clearly communicating that pricing requires a quote request. Works seamlessly in both grid and list views.
Product Detail Page
On the product detail page, the standard "Add to Cart" button is replaced with a prominent "Request a Quote" button. When prices are hidden, the product price shows "Request Price" in large bold text with a lock icon. The quote button captures the current quantity from the quantity selector and opens the quote request modal with the selected product and quantity pre-filled.
[Flow] Quote Request User Journey
From authentication to successful submission
Sign In Required Modal
When Require Login is enabled and a guest user clicks "Request a Quote",
this elegant dark-themed modal appears. It displays a customizable message, lists the
benefits of signing in (submit requests, track status, view personalized pricing), and
provides clear "Log In" and "Cancel" buttons. Clicking
"Log In" redirects to /web/login.
Shop Banner — Bottom Position
When the banner position is set to "Bottom of Products Grid", the informational banner appears below all products. It features a file-text icon, the customizable banner text, and — when login is required — a "Log in to request a quote" button for guest users. The banner uses a clean alert-info style with a left accent border.
Quote Request Modal
The Quote Request Modal is the core submission interface:
- Product Info Card: Displays the product name with a cube icon
- Quantity Stepper: Plus/minus controls with manual input, minimum 1
- Message or Requirements: Textarea for customer specifications (configurable show/required)
- Contact Fields: Name, Email, Phone, Company, Address — visibility and required status controlled by settings
- Error Display: Red alert box showing validation errors in real-time
- Actions: "Submit Request" button with paper-plane icon and "Cancel" to dismiss
For logged-in users, contact fields are pre-filled from their partner profile. The form validates all required fields before submission.
Submission Success
After successful submission, the modal transforms to show a success state:
- Green Checkmark Icon: Large circular success indicator
- "Quote Request Submitted!" Title with confirmation message
- Info Details: "Our sales team will review and respond within 24 hours"
- Done Button: Dismisses the modal
Additionally, a green toast notification slides in from the bottom-right corner saying "Your quote has been submitted" with a check-circle icon, auto-dismissing after 4 seconds.
[Emails] Automated Email Notifications
Two professionally designed email templates
The module includes two beautifully styled email templates with responsive HTML layouts, gradient headers, and clear call-to-action buttons. Each can be independently enabled or disabled from the settings panel.
Customer Confirmation Email
Sent to the customer when "Send Confirmation to Customer" is enabled:
- Green Gradient Header: "Thank You for Your Quote Request" with reassuring tone
- Personalized Greeting: "Dear [Customer Name]," for a personal touch
- Request Summary: Reference number, date, and "Received" status badge
- Requested Products: Table with product names and quantities
- Customer Message: Shows their submitted message in a green-accented block

Sales Team Notification Email
Sent to the sales team when "Notify Sales Team" is enabled:

- Customer Details: Name, email (clickable mailto link), and total amount
- Requested Products Table: Product name, quantity, and price per item
- Customer Message: Full message displayed in a purple-accented quote block
