Quote Requests (Stores Only)
Set up quote-only items and manage customer quote requests
What Are Quote Requests?
Quote requests are a feature for store business types that allows you to offer services or products without a fixed price. Instead of adding these items to their cart, customers can request a personalized quote.
This is perfect for:
- Custom services (event planning, consulting, etc.)
- Made-to-order products
- Bulk pricing inquiries
- Services that require assessment
Creating Quote-Only Items
- Go to Dashboard → Menu
- Click "Add Item" or edit an existing item
- Under the Price field, check the "Quote only" checkbox
- The price field becomes optional - you can leave it blank or enter a starting price
- Save your item
Quote-only items display a "Request Quote" button instead of an "Add to Cart" button.
Setting Up Custom Quote Form Fields
You can add custom fields to collect specific information from customers when they request a quote.
- Go to Dashboard → Settings
- Click on the "Quote Form" tab
- Click "+ Add Field" to create a new field
- Configure the field:
- Field Label: The label shown to customers (e.g., "Event Date")
- Field Type: Short Text, Long Text, Dropdown, or Checkbox
- Options: For dropdowns, enter each option on a new line
- Required: Whether the field must be filled in
- Drag fields to reorder them
- Click "Save Fields"
Managing Quote Requests
When customers submit quote requests, you'll see them on your dashboard.
- Go to Dashboard → Quotes
- You'll see all quote requests with their status
- Click on a quote to expand and see all details
- Use the status buttons to update the quote status:
- Pending: New quote request, needs attention
- Contacted: You've reached out to the customer
- Closed: Quote has been completed or declined
- Click "Email" to send a response to the customer
AI Integration
Your AI assistant is aware of which items are quote-only and can help customers:
- When asked about services, the AI describes available quote-only items
- Customers can ask the AI to "build a quote" for a specific service
- The AI opens the quote request form automatically when requested
- Quote-only items are never added to the cart
📝 Note
Quote requests are only available for store business types. If your business type is set to "restaurant", you won't see the Quote Form settings or Quotes navigation option.
