Quotes (Estimates)
A Quote allows you to send a formal proposal to a customer before a deal is closed. It is strictly a pre-sales document and has no financial impact until accepted.
The Quote Workflow
The quote lifecycle is designed to facilitate negotiation.
- Draft: You build the proposal. You can add Products and custom discounts.
- Sent: You email the quote to the prospect. They view it via a secure link.
- Accepted: The prospect digitally signs or clicks "Accept".
- Converted: Floatless automatically converts the Quote into an Order.
Why Use Quotes?
- Professionalism: Send a branded PDF or link instead of a plain email.
- Speed: When the customer accepts, the Order is created instantly. No need to re-type data.
- Expirations: Set a
Valid Untildate (e.g., 30 days) to create urgency.Conversion: Once a customer accepts a Quote, it becomes a Confirmed Order. From there, you just need to click "Generate Invoice" to bill them.
