Customer Experience
Instead of proceeding to checkout from the Cart page, your customer requests a quote for their cart items by clicking the Request Quote button. They will receive a 'Quote Confirmation' email and your nominated admin staff member(s) will receive a 'Quote Submitted' email.
Configure Standard Quote Mode
To enable standard quoting:
1. Set Request Quote for a Role
- In the CMS, navigate to Users → Roles.
- Select the Role you'd like to update (e.g. 'CSSUser'). The page will immediately refresh to display role details.
- Select the Functions tab and click Modify.
- Set Allow Order Quote Requests to Yes.
- Click OK to save.
2. Set Order Quoting Mode to Standard
