After a quote is accepted
Turn an accepted quote into a customer record, products and an order, and, if your account has Shopify connected, a Shopify draft order.
An accepted quote shows the locked-in quantities and prices, and the client and settings become read-only. It does not create an order by itself. Instead, the Turn it into work actions help you set up what the order needs.
#Step by step
- Open the accepted quote.
- If the client isn't a customer yet, choose Actions → Turn it into work → Create customer. Then finish their contacts and addresses in Customers.
- Choose Build product to create products from the quote's styles. The action then reads Product built ✓.
- Raise the order from Orders once the customer and products exist. See Creating a manual order.
#Shopify draft order
This section applies only if your account has its Shopify shop connection switched on. If it isn't, the action says "Shopify is not configured."
Actions → Turn it into work → Create Shopify draft order is available once a quote is Accepted.
- Click it and confirm.
- Flyte creates a Shopify draft order with one custom line per style. Each line's title is the style name plus its description; the quantity and unit price are what the client chose (the first break if no choice was recorded). The products do not need to exist in Shopify.
- You'll see "Created Shopify draft order [name]". The menu item becomes Open Shopify draft, which opens the draft in a new tab.
Can I make a second draft from the same quote? No. It links to the one already made.
#Other actions
- Duplicate — a new Draft with a new number and link, the same client, settings and styles.
- Delete quote — permanent. There is no Graveyard for quotes.
#Common questions
Accepting created an order, didn't it? No. Accepting never creates an order.
Why are the client fields greyed out? An accepted quote's client and settings are read-only.
