Creating a quote

Build a quote from scratch or from your line-item catalog, send it to the customer, and accept it in one click.

Updated 2026-04-29

A quote is a fixed-price proposal you send to a customer for review. They can accept it from a public link (no Plyrium login needed); accepted quotes auto-convert into the customer record + an invoice draft.

Building a quote

  1. 1
    Click 'New quote'

    From /portal/quotes or from any customer's detail page (where the customer is pre-filled).

  2. 2
    Pick or add a customer

    Type to search existing customers; the combobox surfaces matches as you type. Or hit + to add a new one inline.

  3. 3
    Add line items

    Type a description and price, or pick from your saved catalog (Settings → Invoicing). Each line has quantity, unit, price, optional discount, and a kind tag (material/labor/service/fee) that drives the P&L breakdown.

  4. 4
    Set tax + expiry

    Tax pulls from your default jurisdiction (Settings → Invoicing). Expiry defaults to whatever you set there — typically 30 days.

  5. 5
    Save draft or send

    Save & send fires an email to the customer with their public-link URL; Save draft just stores it. The customer can accept from the link without an account.

What happens when they accept

  • If they weren't a customer record yet, one is created automatically.
  • An invoice draft is auto-built from the same line items so you don't re-type.
  • The quote status flips to 'accepted' and gets a 'converted' chip once you finalize the invoice.
  • You get a notification — owner email by default, plus push/SMS if configured.
Catalog items save time

Set up the 10-15 jobs you do most often in Settings → Invoicing → Line item catalog. Picking 'Water heater install — 50 gal gas' instead of typing it every time also keeps your descriptions consistent across customers (good for your P&L breakdown).
