Products : 2 more types added

With the dual cart, your products can now be of 3 types easily.

1) Normal add to cart: This is similar to your current set up i.e. normal add to cart feature for your product on the front end. A Customer can add the product to the cart and place an order.

2) Only quote: When this field is assigned to the product, on the front end the customer can only request a quote for this product. Add to cart feature is turned off. By default for only quote products, prices are not shown on the front end. This feature can be enabled - or disabled from the admin side.

3) Quote + Cart: When this field is assigned to the product, on the front end the customer can either add to the cart the product or request a quote. So both options are enabled.

New Feature: We have added more controls so that if the product price is zero or qty is zero. It can automatically be made an "Only quote" product. It is controlled via the module settings.

On the demo you will find both kinds of products i.e. quote + cart and just quote.


Latest Update Features Added:

- Zero price products or zero-quantity products can now be set up as "Only quote" automatically via module settings.
- Added expiry date feature to quote submitted.
- Now you can add assigned shipping methods with custom prices to the quote.
- Minor improvements and bug fixes.
