QuoteBlocks documentation
A priced calculator you build in Elementor, not in a settings screen.
Before you start
- WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer
- Elementor 3.0 or newer. Elementor Pro is not required
- A page you are willing to build in Elementor — these are widgets, not a shortcode
Runs on your own WordPress alongside Elementor, free or Pro. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
What it does not do
- It only runs inside Elementor. There is no shortcode and no block-editor version; if you do not build pages in Elementor, this is the wrong plugin.
- It does not take payment. It produces a quote and emails it.
- It does not connect to a CRM. Quotes arrive by email.
What is in the download
A WordPress plugin ZIP that registers Elementor widgets. It adds nothing to the admin menu that you have to learn separately — the whole thing is built in the Elementor editor.
GPL source, and no external service: the maths runs on your server and the submissions stay in your database.
Installing it
Install and activate Elementor first. Then Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin with the QuoteBlocks ZIP, activate, and paste the licence key from your purchase email.
The widgets appear in the Elementor panel under their own category. If they do not, the usual cause is that Elementor was activated after QuoteBlocks — deactivate and reactivate QuoteBlocks.
Building a calculator
Lay the fields out as you would any Elementor section, because that is what they are. Style them once and the calculator stops looking like a plugin.
Price the fields before you write a single formula. Most calculators need no formula at all — priced options and a sum is the common case, and it is much easier to check.
Use steps when the form gets past about six questions. A visitor abandons a long page and finishes a short sequence, even when the number of questions is the same.

Common questions
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with free Elementor. If you have Pro it does not change anything here.
How is this different from a calculator plugin with a shortcode?
A shortcode drops markup onto your page that was styled somewhere else, and you spend an evening on CSS making it fit. These are native Elementor widgets, styled with the same controls as the rest of the page.
Is the formula engine safe?
There is no eval. Formulas are tokenised and evaluated, so a formula typed into the editor cannot become code that runs on your server.
Can fields depend on each other?
Yes — conditional logic works between fields and between steps, so a section can appear only once a relevant choice is made.
Where does the quote go?
To you by email, and optionally to the visitor. The visitor’s copy is what turns a calculator into a lead rather than a toy.
