  • Redirect the user to different URL on successful submission of quote form. (Or you can just show a custom message)

Elementor/Divi & Other Page Builders:

The page builder plugins sometimes remove the default Add to Cart hook and replaces it with a custom hook. In such cases, The add to cart and hide price feature does not work. In the latest version, we have added 3 alternate hooks that these page builders uses (frequently).

If you facing issues with showing the quote button or replace add to cart with the quote button, please try all these alternate hooks and retain what works for your website/theme.

You can access this from Request a quote > Settings > Editors/Builders Compatibility.
