This calculator is built for one trade. It installs already knowing how sign work is priced: width \u00d7 height to square footage, a material rate, finishing options per square foot or per piece, quantity, a minimum order. Drop in the shortcode and it quotes like a sign shop from the first minute \u2014 then edit the rates to yours.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Built by sign people.<\/strong> PrinterFlo makes shop-management software for print &amp; sign shops, designed alongside a working sign shop. This plugin is the customer-facing edge of that: the same pricing logic shops use at the counter, on your website, for free.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What it does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Instant estimates<\/strong> \u2014 visitors enter size, quantity and material, tick finishing options, and see a live price. No signup walls in front of your own customers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arrives pre-loaded<\/strong> \u2014 eight common sign materials (banner, coroplast, foam board, PVC, ACM, aluminum, acrylic, vehicle magnetic) at typical retail rates, plus lamination, grommets, hemming, double-sided and design-help options. Every name and number is editable; add or remove rows freely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turns estimates into leads<\/strong> \u2014 a \"Request this quote\" button opens a short form; the request lands in your inbox with the full job spec (size, material, options, estimate) attached. Reply and close.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your rules<\/strong> \u2014 currency symbol, minimum order price, and the estimate disclaimer wording are all yours to set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spam-resistant<\/strong> \u2014 honeypot field plus rate limiting on the request endpoint, no CAPTCHA for real customers to fight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light and private<\/strong> \u2014 no external services, no tracking, nothing loaded from anyone's CDN. Assets load only on pages that actually contain the calculator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>What it deliberately is not<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>It quotes estimates, by design \u2014 the final price is confirmed by you. Complex option-dependent pricing (substrate-specific laminate rates, quantity breaks, setup fees, live margin) is shop-management territory; that's what <a href=\"https:\/\/printerflo.com\/\">PrinterFlo<\/a> itself does, and this plugin never pretends your website can replace your estimator.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Put <code>[pfsqc_sign_quote_calculator]<\/code> on any page.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Sign Quote Calculator<\/strong> and set your materials, rates and the email that receives quote requests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>That's the whole setup.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20it%20show%20my%20costs%20or%20margins%20to%20visitors%3F\"><h3>Does it show my costs or margins to visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. The calculator only knows the retail rates you enter in Settings \u2014 it never contains cost or margin information.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"where%20do%20quote%20requests%20go%3F\"><h3>Where do quote requests go?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>To the email address you set in Settings (your site's admin email by default), with the customer's name, contact, notes, and the full job spec including their estimate.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20change%20the%20materials%20and%20prices%3F\"><h3>Can I change the materials and prices?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>All of them.
