For Developers

Templating

You may override any of the plugin templates in the same way you do for woocommerce. Just copy the file in “your-theme-directory/c2q/”.

eg. if you want to override the single-quote.php and your theme is “storefront-child” then create a folder named “c2q” in “/wp-content/themes/storefront-child/” and copy the file “single-quote.php” in there. Now you may edit it as preferred.

Hooks

Many hooks are in place. Please search the code for a full list. A list is also available in the documentation.
