2. After hitting "Add to quote" button:

  • On the product page, customers will see the popup below.

  • On the cart page, the customer will be redirected to the "Request to quote" form

On this page, they can fill out the form, edit the product list for quotation and submit requests.

4. After submitting the request, the customer will receive the notification email

Store Owner also receives a notification email of a new quotation

Noted: Our app will send this email to the store email in the contact information of Shopify Admin settings

5. Customer's quotation information will be stored in the Quotes tab

6. Store Owner can click Edit to review the customer's quotation

There are three sections:

  • Products: List of products that the customer requested for a quote

  • Additional details: Details of the form which the customer entered

  • Customer: Details of the customer who signed up for this quotation

Store Owner can also edit the product list & additional details before sending email to the customer
