How do custom quotations work?

The Quotations system allows you to handle price requests and negotiations with the same level of automation and professionalism as with standard sales.

Clients can request quotations from your website, and you can also create new quotations by yourself.

Quotations can be managed and created under My business / Orders / Quotations.

Quotation requests from clients

Your clients can request a quotation for single images, or for the images in a selection (and it works with video clips, too).

When a client requests a quotation, you will receive an email notification with a link to manage it. Set the description (it will be used in the final receipt to the client) and price for each item. Then, send the quotation to the client.

Creating a new quotation

In addition, you can also create yourself new quotations from your admin space via the Create a quotation button on the quotations pages, which can be useful for example to collect payment for files or a service discussed separately.

Adding new items to a quotation

You can add items at will to quotations:

• Add a product lets you add a pre-defined product (for example, an image normally sold via a pricing profile) at the price you wish, or a custom service;
• Add media lets you add an image, video or document that can be delivered automatically in its original format, or offline outside of PhotoDeck.

Checkout and payment

When he/she receives the quotation link by email, the client can view the quotation, accept it and add it to the cart. The checkout, including payment, happens in the same way as for standard sales.
