Hi @Eloi,

Thanks for the feedback – Interesting, I’ll definitely give it a try when I have a moment.

Regarding the duplicated Wire Transfer payment method: I now fully understand the issues you’re facing. I hadn’t gone that deep into the flow yet, so I hadn’t realized the impact of the automatic email header. There should be some way to adjust or bypass that, but at least from the standard email template editor I also don’t see any option to remove that header section.

I’ve just tested as well, and indeed:

• The “Pay now” button text cannot be changed via QWeb view (maybe translation?)

• Same as the intermediate “Payment Status” page.

The module , unfortunately it’s not available for Odoo Online, and I haven’t tested it enough yet, so i don´t Know if it fits exactly our needs but you can find it on the Odoo App Store under the name “Website Get Quote Product” if you want to take a look.  

Regards.

Hello,

We have the same requirement as you, for our website.

1. We have solved the issue about hiding prices. Here are the details :

You might want to use the HTML/CSS editor in Odoo > Website > Site > HTML/CSS editor. From there, with the blue button in the top right corner, you can access the XML (for HTML), SCSS (for CSS) and JS files which can be edited (though editing and adding code you don't understand isn't recommended). For hiding prices we will go to SCSS (CSS).

For context, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for specifying the presentation and styling of document written in a markup language, such as HTML, which specifies the structure and formatting of a website. In Odoo's case, they use HTML (written in multiple XML files), with a CSS stylesheet (written in SCSS files). But why is it a SCSS file, and not CSS ? Because SCSS is a scripting language that uses CSS syntax ; so that we can use variables, if statements, and more. In short, HTML is the structure, CSS is the styling and SCSS makes writing CSS more convenient.

You will only use the SCSS file named "user_custom_rules", because it's made for us to add our own styling rules, in addition to the other SCSS files Odoo already use. This "user_custom_rules" file may already have content inside, but it won't be of any use for what you want to do with it.

In this SCSS file, you need to target HTML elements in order to specify presentation and styling rules for each. For that, you can target the element itself (<a>, <div>, <span>, etc.), its class, its id, and also a lot more parameters, but which are more rarely used than the first three we've just mentioned. Targeting the element itself isn't great, because you will target every of its instances on the entire website. Targeting it by its class(es) is better, but targeting it by its id is the best solution. You can also target several of these attributes at the same time.

You also need to use the developer tools of your web browser (for example, DevTools on Chrome). This will allow you to inspect the code (right-click, then select "Inspect") of any web page, and so this way you can see which HTML elements are used to display prices with Odoo, and then target them properly. When you hover an element in the inspector developer tool, it is highlighted in blue on the website. You can use this to see what element you would target. We would recommend you to target a section rather than a single element when necessary : for example, a price may be displayed in a dedicated section, which will be of no use if they aren't any price to be displayed inside, so it's better to hide the entire section rather than just the price ; of course, this isn't the case every time, but it's to accommodate the website's layout.

Here is the CSS ruleset we use (typing "//" at the start of a line lets you "hide" the content that comes after ; that way, you can leave comments in your code) :

// THIS SECTION IS FOR HIDING PRICES

// Here, we define a variable that we can reuse so as not to type "display: none !important" for every element we will target

$nodisplay: none !important; 
// "none" remove the content from the layout, rather than making it simply invisible
// "!important" prevents the rule from being overwrittent by another rule
// If you need to display the prices once again, then replace "none !important" by "unset" or "0"

// Hides the price section in the carousel of the homepage, if you use carousels as well

.o_wsale_product_sub.justify-content-between.gap-2 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the price section in the shop page (/shop)

.o_wsale_product_sub.d-flex.align-items-center.justify-content-between.flex-nowrap.gap-3 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the price & pricing sections in the product page (/shop/yourproductname)

.o_wsale_product_details_content_section.o_wsale_product_details_content_section_price.mb-4 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

.o_wsale_product_details_content_section.o_wsale_product_details_content_section_rental_pricing.variant_attribute {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the price section on the popup when adding a product to the cart

.col-3.d-flex.flex-column.align-items-end.gap-1 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Fills the empty space left after hiding the price section on the popup

.col-6.d-flex.flex-column.align-items-start {
  width: 75%;
}

// Hides the price & pricing sections on the cart page (/shop/cart)

h6[name=website_sale_cart_line_price] {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

.text-muted.d-md-block.small {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the price total and discount code section in the cart summary

.o_cart_total.o_checkout_cart_total.pt-2.pt-lg-0 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

td[name=website_sale_cart_summary_line_price] {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

.o_cart_total.border-top.pt-2 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

div[class="col my-3 text-break"] {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

div[class="col my-3 text-break o_payment_summary_separator"] {
  width: 100%;
}

// Hides the "Print" button on (/shop/confirmation)
// The "Print" button allows the user to download the quote, with prices inside

a[title="Print"] {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

Lastly, an email is sent after the order is confirmed. Thankfully, you can access the email templates in Odoo > Settings > Email Templates and then search for "Sales : Payment Done". Once you're in the template, you can edit the text in "Body", and remove the PDF quote attachment in "Options". However, we haven't figured out a way to remove the "View Quotation" section above the body. We want to remove any quotation the user can have access to, because the prices are always displayed inside and we haven't figured a way to hide/remove them on a PDF.

2. We are working on a quotation request feature. Here are the details :

We've found a forum post from Ubai Salih, where the answer by Jaideep might be the solution you're looking for. In his answer to Ubai Salih's post, he says that it is possible to duplicate the payment provider Wire Transfer and rename it to "request quotation" or what have you.

Following their instructions, when a user is on a product page, they can still add any product (with a price already set above 0, of course) to their cart. They can then review their cart and proceed to enter their details, choose a delivery method, a payment method, and validate the order. However, even as we hid the prices, there are a lot of labels, texts, etc. that still refer to a purchase, and not a quotation request. Fortunately, you can also use CSS to hide some of these elements :

// THIS SECTION IS FOR HIDING PURCHASE RELATED ELEMENTS

// Hides the "Quick reorder" option on the cart page (/shop/cart)

.ms-3.border-start.ps-2 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the "Sign in" section on the address management page (/shop/address)

.o_address_signin.d-flex.d-md-block.justify-content-between.align-items-center.p-3.p-md-0.w-100.text-md-end {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the "Delivery method" section on the checkout page (/shop/checkout or /shop/checkout?try_skip_step=true)

#o_delivery_form {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the "Billing address" section on the checkout page (/shop/checkout or /shop/checkout?try_skip_step=true)

#billing_address_list {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the "Payment method" section on the payment page (/shop/payment)

#o_payment_form {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the "Sign Up" section on the order confirmation page (/shop/confirmation)

.alert.alert-info.mt-3 {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

// Hides the transfer details section on the order confirmation page (/shop/confirmation)

div[name=order_confirmation] {
  display: $nodisplay;
}

But some other elements are a bit too important to simply be hidden away, so you'll need to use the "Edit" button on Odoo Website. This way, you can edit most text content. However, there is one element, the "Pay now" button, that cannot be edited through this method as it seems to be tied with Odoo's backend code. We haven't found a solution for it yet.

The meta title of each page, and their URL, are also an issue, since they both refer to a purchase. You can edit the meta title of page via the HTML/CSS editor, in a tag like this :

<t t-set="additional_title">This is were the meta title is</t>

Usually, it is located on the default XML (HTML) displayed when you open the HTML/CSS editor. However, we cannot find the meta title tag of the shopping cart page. And unfortunately, for the URLs, we haven't found a solution to edit these yet, as they are hardcoded into Odoo's backend.

Hopefully, we can get an answer to our question on the other post we've mentioned earlier in this (long) answer. Otherwise, you and us can work together to make a working solution.

Have you made any progress since your post one month ago ?

Eloi

Hi,

First, you need to disable the direct checkout functionality that is standard in Odoo eCommerce. The most direct way to do this is to remove or hide the "Add to Cart" button from your product pages. This can be done either through Odoo's website builder by editing the product page template or, for more advanced users, by modifying the website template's code.

Next, you should implement a "Request a Quote" functionality to replace the standard "Add to Cart" flow. This involves replacing the "Add to Cart" button with a "Request a Quote" button that links to a form. This form should collect all the necessary information from the user, such as the products they are interested in, the desired quantity, their contact details (if they aren't logged in), and any specific requirements or questions they might have. You can create this form using Odoo's built-in form builder or, if you need more customization, by creating a custom form.

Then, you'll want to automate the quotation creation process in the backend. To do this, create a server action that is triggered when a user submits the quotation request form. This server action should automatically create a new quotation in Odoo Sales, populate it with the information provided in the form (products, quantities, customer details), and assign the quotation to the appropriate salesperson. You should also configure an email notification to alert the salesperson when a new quotation request comes in.

Finally, pay attention to the user experience. Provide clear instructions on your website explaining how the quotation request process works. After a user submits a request, display a confirmation message to let them know that their request has been received and is being processed. You might also consider allowing users to create accounts so they can track the status of their quotation requests.

Hope it helps
