Super admin email

Here the admin needs to specify the email id on which he wants to receive emails whenever a customer submits an offer or sends a message regarding an offer request.

Product wise configuration

If the admin disables this option then the make-an-offer configuration will work based on the global rule and if the admin enables this option then the make-an-offer configuration will work based on the global rule and product-specific configuration.

Note: When the product-wise configuration is enabled then the product-specific configuration will have higher priority than the global rule.

For example: If we disable the “Product wise configuration” option from the module configuration and set to display the offer option as “no” from the specific product as displayed in the below image.

Even then the offer option will be displayed to the customer as displayed in the below image because the admin disables the option from the module configuration to work according to the specific product configuration.

Choose to allow offer requests on all or specific products.

Front End View

A “MAKE AN OFFER” button gets available for the products selected by admin.

Also, the admin can enable offer request on individual products. Go to Catalog -> Products -> Edit Product -> Modules.

Offer Request For Specific Product Combination

If a customer is placing offer request for a product that has different combinations. Then, in that case, offer request is submitted for the product combination selected by a customer.

When a customer clicks on the button, a form appears on the page where he can request for an offer. In the form, a customer needs to select the quantity and specify price per unit & description to submit an offer request.

After submitting the offer request, admin will receive an email for the same.

Customer Account

A new tab “MY REQUESTS FOR OFFER” is added to the customer’s account. From this tab, he can view the requests created for offer.

On clicking the view button, a customer can see product for which he submitted the request, status of the request, product quantity, and price per unit.

In the above screenshot, we can see the offer request is placed for the combination selected by customer on the product page. In this offer, the customer has requested 10 products at $15 per unit. If admin accept this offer, then the customers can purchase more than 10 units at a specified price per unit.

Let me explain this with the help of an example. Suppose a customer has placed an offer request for 10 units of a product X at $20 per unit. Admin accepted the offer. The total price a customer needs to pay is 200$ (excluding taxes). Now, if a customer purchase more than 10 units say 15, then also he will get a discount on additional units purchased. Now he has to pay $300 for 15 units.

In case of a normal product, the offer request is placed for a whole product.

Kindly note the final offer price provided by admin will be based on tax exclusive price.

Post-installation, a new tab “Customer Offer Requests” under Customers get available. From this tab, admin can view a list of requests created by the customers for offer.

Under Customer Offer Requests tab, admin can view:

• Details (Name and email Id) of customers who have placed the offer request.
• Number of products for which customer has requested an offer.
• Current status of the offer request.
• View the details of the offer request.
• Delete the offer request.

Also, the admin can filter the offer requests based on the status.

Click on the View button to see all the details related to an offer.

Admin can choose to accept or decline the offer. Also, admin can negotiate with the customer regarding an offer via a messaging system.

When the admin sends a message to the customer, the status of the offer request changes from Waiting to In Negotiation. Also, the customer will receive an email containing the message.

Front End View

A customer can view the message sent by admin under Request Details.

Whenever a customer sends the message, admin will receive an email notification.

Admin can modify the offer price and accept the offer.

When admin clicks on “ALLOW OFFER FOR CUSTOMER” button, the offer request gets accepted and specific price for a customer gets automatically created.

Once admin has accepted the offer request, the customer can purchase the number of items he selected at a specified price per unit.

Also, an email notification for offer acceptance is send to the customer.

Product Page

Now, a customer can proceed to purchase the product. Kindly note that a customer has to purchase the minimum quantity he specified while submitting the offer request to avail the discount.

On the product page, a customer can view the table displaying per unit discount he will get on purchasing 5 quantity of the product.

In the above screenshot we can see $ 25.10 displayed on the product page. Now, if a customer selects 5 in the quantity field, the discounted price will display on the product page.

Admin can also create a voucher for the offer request under Customer Offer Request. This can be explained with the help of an example.

Suppose there is a product X whose price is $24 (Tax Excluded). Now, a customer need 5 quantity of the product X at $20 per unit and submits the offer for the same. Admin accepts the customer’s offer.

Now, while creating a voucher, admin has to enter $20 in the amount field i.e $4 discount per unit equals to $20.

When a customer adds 5 units of product X in the cart, there he can view the voucher code and apply it to the cart to get the discount.

This extension also adds “Make An Offer” button on the cart page. Customer can click on this button to make an offer for the products added to the cart.

Kindly note that offer request placed by customer from the cart page is based on the quantity of individual products added in the cart.

An email is sent to the admin for each product for which the customer is placing an offer request from the cart page.

Once a customer has submitted the request, admin can view it under “CUSTOMER OFFER REQUESTS” tab.

Admin can view the products for which customer has submitted an offer request by clicking on the “View” button.
