Managing quotes overview

Where quote requests arrive, what the Quotes page shows you, and how a request becomes a paid order.

Every request your customers send arrives in Quote list, the first item under SA Request a Quote in your Shopify admin. The page itself is headed Quotes, and it is your working queue: you open a request, price it, send it back, and create an order from it when the customer agrees.

The Quotes page is where every request lands.

Two buttons sit at the top right: Export and Create quote.

Below them are the status tabs, which split the queue up for you.

TabWhat it shows
AllEvery quote, whatever state it is in.
ReadRequests someone has already looked at.
UnreadNew requests still waiting on you — check this one first each morning.
Order createdQuotes an order has already been created from.
PurchasedQuotes the customer has paid for.

Next to the tabs are a search and filter control and a sort control, for when the queue gets long.

The table itself has six columns: Quote ID, Customer, Company, Created at, Status and Actions.

Each row has four actions in the Actions column: download PDF, send email, duplicate and delete. At the bottom of the table there is pagination with Items per page, which you can set to 10, 20, 30 or 50. Under the table, “Learn more about quote list” links to here.

Clicking a row opens the quote detail page, headed Quote # and its number. Almost all the real work happens here.

The quote detail page: price it, adjust the money, then convert it.

You do not have to live on the Quotes page. The app dashboard has a Recent activity section with Total quotes for the last 7 days, Pending quotes that need review, and a card for the newest request showing its Customer, Products, Estimated value and Status. View all takes you straight to the full list.

Recent activity on the dashboard, with View all through to the queue.

You can also be emailed whenever a request comes in. Mail notifications under Advanced settings does that — see Emails sent to admin.

  1. It appears under Unread, and you get an email if Mail notifications is switched on.

  2. Open the request. Check the Extra info message, set the numbers in Price & quantity, and look over the Payment panel.

  3. Use Resend an email on the quote, or the send email action on its row. Download the PDF too if the buyer needs a document.

  4. Click Convert to Order and invoice it. The quote moves to Order created, and then to Purchased once it is paid.
