Can You Do Quotes on Shopify?

Last updated on January 11, 2023 @ 9:02 am

Yes,

you can definitely do quotes on Shopify! There are a few different ways to go about it, but the most common is to use the built-in Shopify quote feature. This allows you to generate a quote for a customer directly from their shopping cart.

To do this, simply click on the “Get a Quote” button in the shopping cart, and fill out the form that appears. You’ll need to provide your name, email address, and phone number, as well as a brief description of what the customer is looking for. Once you’ve submitted the form, Shopify will generate a quote and send it to the customer’s email address.

If you’re looking for something a little more custom, you can always create your own quotes using HTML and CSS. This is a great option if you want to add your own branding or style to the quotes. Simply create a new page in your Shopify admin, and then add your HTML and CSS code to that page.

Here’s a basic example of what your HTML code could look like:

Name: John Smith

Email: john@smith.com

Phone: 555-555-1234

Description: I’m looking for a quote on a new website.

And here’s an example of what your CSS code could look like:


#quote {border: 1px solid #000;padding: 10px;width: 500px;}
#quote p {margin: 0}
#quote b {font-weight: bold;

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Shopify to create a quote for your business, think again! There are several reasons why this could be a bad idea. First, Shopify is not designed for creating quotes. This means that you will likely encounter errors and formatting problems when trying to create a quote. Second, even if you are able to create a quote, it is unlikely that it will be accurate. This is because Shopify does not have access to the latest pricing information from your suppliers. Finally, if you do manage to create a quote, it is very likely that it will be outdated by the time you actually need it. So, in short, don’t use Shopify to create quotes for your business – it’s just not worth the hassle!
