Customers can automatically generate self-service quotes at checkout instead of requesting one from you. When enabled, prospects view a button on the popup storefront (or a link if you have a web storefront), and click Generate Quote to continue without payment. FastSpring automatically generates a quote consisting of all items in their cart, and redirects them to the quote. 

Self-Service quotes appear in your store’s Quotes list after they are created. FastSpring displays the recipient name as the creator. The quote name is “Quote generated by [Recipient Name]”. 

Customer Experience

1. A prospect clicks Generate Quote at checkout. FastSpring generates a quote containing all items in their order and redirects them to the quote’s URL.

2. The prospect clicks Accept & Continue at the bottom of the quote. This opens the B2B Popup checkout directly over the quote.

3. The prospect can request an invoice or complete the purchase. FastSpring sends the prospect the fulfillment, depending on quote settings.
