About this plugin
Easeare Quote Calculator helps service businesses, freelancers, and product sellers turn visitor choices into clear price estimates – then collect those requests as leads and turn them into quotes you can track.
Create a calculator once, publish it with a shortcode or block, and let visitors configure options while the total updates live. When they submit a request, you get the lead details in WordPress and can follow up with a formal quote.

Optional add-ons
The plugin is complete for everyday use without a license key. If you later install optional packages from Easeare (via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin ), an Add-ons screen and License settings tab help manage those packages. org.
Nothing in core is locked behind a trial or forced upsell.
External services
This plugin can make optional HTTPS requests to the Easeare API. Core calculator, lead, and quote features work fully offline and never call this API. The only outbound connections are the two optional services below — they are off until you use them.
License activation and validation (optional)
- Why: confirm that a purchased Pro add-on license is valid for your site.
- When: only after you enter a license key under Quote Calculator → Settings → License. Requests run when you activate or deactivate; while a key stays active, WordPress Cron also re-validates about once per day (and soft re-checks may run on Quote Calculator admin screens). Free calculator features are never blocked by network errors.
- What is sent: the license key, your site URL ( home_url ), the product identifier, and (on activate only) a site-local webhook URL plus HMAC secret so Easeare can notify this site of revoke/expire. Lead and quote personal data are never sent.
- What may be received (inbound webhook): a small signed JSON body with event, product, key_hint (last characters of the key only), and status. The plugin never downloads, evaluates, or executes remote scripts from this webhook. Payload size is capped; signatures older than five minutes are rejected.

Official add-on catalog (optional)
- Why: keep the Add-ons screen up to date with official package names, descriptions, availability (available / coming soon), preview image URLs, and product page links — without shipping those remote assets inside the WordPress.org plugin zip. Until you use this service, the plugin shows only the bundled local catalog (no outbound request).
- When: (a) you click Refresh catalog on Quote Calculator → Add-ons, or (b) you enable Update catalog once per day on that screen. Option (b) schedules WordPress Cron to request the catalog about once every 24 hours. If daily updates stay disabled, no scheduled catalog request is made.
- What is sent: a GET request to https://api.easeare.com/v1/easeare-quote-calculator/catalog. Headers include the product identifier ( X-Easeare-Plugin ) and a User-Agent with the plugin version and your site home URL. No license key, no lead data, and no quote personal data are sent.
- What is received: public metadata only (names, descriptions, types, feature lists, HTTPS preview image URLs, and optional product links). The response never installs or executes remote code.
