To let customers submit price offers in WooCommerce, install Name Your Price: Make Your Own Offer for WooCommerce and open WPFactory > Price Offers (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Price Offers). A Make an offer button appears on every product page by default, and offers arrive in the Offers dashboard.
What it does #
Name Your Price adds a button that opens an offer form. The shopper enters a price, their email and, by default, their name and a message. You get an email, the offer is saved with the status Open, and you can accept, reject or counter it. Accept and counter emails include a link that adds the product to the cart at the agreed price.
This article is the step-by-step setup. For a feature overview and the Free vs Pro split, see Introduction to Name Your Price.

- Free: go to Plugins > Add New, search for Name Your Price by WPFactory, then install and activate it.
- Pro: download Name Your Price: Make Your Own Offer for WooCommerce Pro from your WPFactory account, upload the ZIP at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate it. When Pro is active, the free version stops loading. WooCommerce must be active.
There is no separate on/off switch: once active, the button shows according to the settings below.

Where do I find offers customers sent? #
Under Offers in the WordPress admin menu, and in the Price offers meta box on each product’s edit page.
Can customers make offers on product variations? #
Offers tied to a specific variation, with the button updating as the shopper picks one, use the Pro Per variation option under Selected Products Options. See Make-Offer not available for variations.
