Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom shipping” and “woocommerce” for “quote request” and “request quote”. “custom shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quote request” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “request quote” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Dean Loh8mo ago
I wanted to start shipping to more countries, but it quickly became clear that setting up shipping fees for different countries and weight tiers would be extremely complicated — if not impossible to manage properly. That’s when I realized a better approach was to quote shipping on a case-by-case basis. This plugin makes that possible. Everything worked as advertised from the start except for the multi-currency part. I contacted the developer, and not only was he responsive, he immediately started working on the issue and fixed it. The plugin now works perfectly, and I’ve since upgraded to the Pro version to show my support.

I purchased the Freight Quote Request plugin and installed it and overall everything worked great, however as I am using Cart/Checkout blocks on my website there were a few things not working just right. I sent a support request in with the issues and within 48 hours Repon had fixed the issues. Amazing communication and support and well worth the price of the plugin.

We have been using Freight Shipping Quote plugin for WordPress on our eCommerce site for shipping quotes for some time. We were doubtful at first and how wrong we were, Freight Shipping Quote has helped our sales revenue especially for our international and EU customers much so we purchased the Pro package. Support for this product has been exceptional especially from Repon Hossain, and would recommend this product, especially if you need to add shipping import duty tax onto a sale this has made our life so much easier, thank you..

Hard to find a plugin that doesn’t cost an absolute fortune that does this sort of thing. Super impressed. Installed and configured but ran into a challenge and got on chat with them and they had me sorted so I could go live 20 minutes later. AWESOME. Thank you so much. Although I don’t need the PRO version I am getting it just to say thank you!

I had a couple of questions and suggestions about the plug-in, and the developer created a couple of features just from my suggestions. He even worried about testing it in our staging site, and fixed every single bug and improvement I reported back. One of the best experiences I had working with a free plugin, and I plan to move to the PRO version soon with all the clients that need this feature! Keep it up man, you’re great!

Been using it for a while now and find this a really usefull plugin for custom shipping quotes.Support was very quick when I had a small bug with another plugin.

I look after a WP multisite which has an auction and a shop. Within the shop I needed to have a way for our customers to request a shipping quotation if they lived in certain parts of the country this plugin looked ideal. After installing the plugin with no problems I started to test it and found there was a small problem which I then contacted support with. Working with Repon he helped me resolve the problem very quickly. Now when a customer uses the shop from one of the post code areas covered by this shipping rule they are given an option to request a quotation for shipping and it all works seemlessly! Very Happy – thank you Repon. This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by majordoit.
