Quote Builder - Request a Quote

Quote Builder - Request a Quote


In some cases, such as if you are selling a large or complex product or service, or you do not know the final price of the item at the time the time the customer order it, it will not be appropriate to offer 'Add to Cart' functionality for your products.  Instead you may wish to offer the user 'Add to Quote Request' functionality whereby the user selects various items online and adds them to a quote request.  The user then submits this quote request to the website administrator, who will provide a quote, or estimate to the user.

The quote is entered into your website administration area as a standard ecommerce order, with a 'Quote Request' status.

Note that once this customisation is in place you will not have any ecommerce functionality on your site, as the quote functionality will replace all ecommerce functionality.  If you require that users can purchase items on your site, as well as request quotes, then expect the amount of our estimate to exceed the estimated price listed here.

Note also that the Zeald solution described below does not include any business logic, or workflow to assist in the calculation of final quote pricing.   The issuing of the quote or estimate document to the customer must be done manually, outside the Zeald system.
