Add cart items to a quote

Show the quote button on your cart page so customers who have already filled a cart can ask for a price instead.

Some customers fill a cart before deciding they would rather negotiate. Cart page button position puts your quote button on the cart page so they have somewhere to do that.

What the button does

The cart-page button turns a cart the customer has already built into a quote request:

  1. The customer adds products to the cart in the normal way.

  2. On the cart page they click your quote button instead of checking out.

  3. Those products are added to their quote.

  4. They fill in your quote form and submit it, and the request arrives in your Quote list.

What customers see the moment they click — a popup, the quote cart, or the quote page — is the Click action setting, covered in Set the after-click behavior.

Set the position

1

Open the button settings

In the app, go to Quote settings and click Customize, then open the Button & widget tab.

2

Find Button position

Scroll to Button position and open the Cart page button position dropdown.

3

Choose where the button goes

The dropdown holds three values. Choose Below checkout button to put the quote button under the checkout button, Above checkout button to put it first, or Don't show on cart page to leave the cart alone. The table below explains what each one looks like; Below checkout button is the safe starting point.

4

Save and check your cart page

As soon as you change the dropdown, Discard and Save appear at the top right of the Customize editor. Click Save — nothing reaches your storefront until you do. Try to close the editor first and it stops you with "Discard all unsaved changes", offering Discard changes or Continue editing.

Then add a product to your cart on your own storefront and open the cart page.

What each position does

Option
What customers see

Don't show on cart page

No quote button on the cart page. Use this if the cart is strictly for buying.

Below checkout button

The quote button sits under the checkout button, as a clear second option.

Above checkout button

The quote button comes first, above checkout. Use it when most of your cart traffic is expected to ask rather than buy.

Above checkout button puts the quote button in front of the one customers use to pay you. On a store that sells and quotes, Below checkout button is usually the better balance.

Build a test cart on your own storefront, click the button yourself and see exactly what your customers get before you leave it live.

If the button doesn't appear on the cart page

  1. Check you saved. Save still active at the top right of the editor means the dropdown never took effect.

  2. The app embed isn't enabled in your theme. The app embed is what lets quote buttons and request forms appear on the storefront at all — see Enable the app in your theme.

  3. Nothing in the cart is a quote product. The cart button has nothing to send — check Select quote products, see Choose quotable products.

  4. The visitor isn't allowed to see it. Who can see the RFQ button? on the same Button & widget tab can limit the button to logged-in customers — see Require login to quote.

More detail in Troubleshooting.

Worth pairing with hidden prices

If you hide prices and the Add to Cart button on your quoted products, customers can't put those products in a cart at all — so this position matters most when the same catalogue can be both bought and quoted.

See Hiding prices overview to decide which model fits your store.
