Editing Accepted Quotes

An accepted quote can be converted into an invoice. If you want to allow editing of accepted quotes, mark the box Allow editing of accepted quotes.

When you make any changes to an invoiced quote, the changes won’t reflect in the invoice. You’ll have to convert the edited quote to a new invoice.

Accepting/Rejecting Quotes via the Public Link

The public link is the link that is shared through the share quote link option or the link that is accessed from the email sent to the customer.

If you want to allow customers to accept or reject the quote sent to them through the public link, mark the box Allow customers to accept or decline the quotes via the public link. This can be useful for customers who do not have customer portal enabled. You will be informed via notification and email once the customer has accepted or declined the quote.
