A quote is a document you can provide to customers with products listed with how much they would pay before going through with the sale. They are mostly used when customers want to buy in bulk or want to shop around to compare prices.
Converting a quote into a sale is more efficient than ever on both Web and iOS. You can create a quote and save it right from the sell screen. With this feature, quotes have now a dedicated view giving you more visibility and better access to them.
