After a successful price calculation, customers can add the quote to the WooCommerce cart.
Add to Cart button #
The Add to Cart button appears after Quote & Cut has calculated the price.
The customer should click this button when they are happy with the quote result.
What happens when Add to Cart is clicked #
When the customer clicks Add to Cart, Quote & Cut sends the calculated job to WooCommerce.
The button may temporarily show:
Adding…
If successful, the customer is redirected to the WooCommerce cart.
What is added to the cart #
Quote & Cut adds the calculated job to the cart as a WooCommerce cart item.
The cart item can include:
- Quote total.
- Part files.
- Part quantities.
- Materials.
- Preview images.
- Secondary Process selections, if used.
- Job data needed for the order.
Customer checkout #
After the quote is in the cart, the customer continues through the normal WooCommerce checkout.
The customer can then:
- Review the cart.
- Choose delivery or collection options.
- Enter billing and shipping details.
- Pay using your WooCommerce payment methods.
- Place the order.
If Add to Cart is missing #
The Add to Cart button appears only after a successful calculation.
If it is missing, check:
- The customer clicked Calculate Price.
- The calculation completed successfully.
- No validation errors are shown.
- No manual quote condition is active.
- The customer has permission to use the quote form.
- The quote page has not been cached incorrectly.
If Add to Cart fails #
If adding to cart fails, the customer may see an error message.
Common causes include:
- The calculated job is no longer available.
- The job token is missing or expired.
- WooCommerce cart/session issue.
- The quote needs to be recalculated.
- The website cannot process the cart request.
The customer should try calculating the quote again.
If the issue continues, the site administrator should test the cart and checkout flow.
Changing the quote after adding to cart #
If the customer changes parts, materials, or quantities after adding a previous quote to the cart, they should calculate and add the updated quote again.
The cart item represents the quote that was calculated and added at that time.

Before going live, test:
- Calculate a quote.
- Click Add to Cart.
