Price requests
How a customer's "Request a price" on a price-on-enquiry product reaches you, and how to turn it into a quote.
Some products are switched to Price on enquiry, so customers see a Request a price button instead of a price. When a customer uses it, the request lands in Visuals as an enquiry for you to price and quote.
#What the customer does
On a price-on-enquiry product, the customer presses Request a price and gives the sizes, quantities and a note. A price-on-enquiry product can't be added to their order basket, so this is the only way they can ask for it.
#What you see
- The request arrives as a customer enquiry with a Price requested chip.
- A Price requested filter, with a count, appears beside the list filters on Visuals.
#Step by step
- Open Visuals and use the Price requested filter.
- Open the enquiry and read the sizes, quantities and note.
- Press Quote this. A Draft quote opens for that customer and contact.
- The quote has one style per product, with the requested quantity as its quantity break, priced at $0.00. The sizes are in the style's notes. The request reference and the customer's note go into Internal notes.
- Enter your price, press Save details, and press Send to client.
Good to know
a quote made from a price request shows $0.00 until you enter a sell price. That is expected; price it before you send.
#What happens next
The customer gets the quote and can accept or decline it. See Sending a quote and the customer's response.
#Common questions
Can I add a price-on-enquiry product to an order myself? Yes, but the order line reads Price on enquiry — enter price, and the order won't save or confirm until you type a price.
Does price on enquiry affect what the factory is paid? No. Buy prices and the factory are not affected.
