Creating a quote

How to create a quote and send it to a client for approval.

A quote (sometimes called a proposal or estimate) lets you share a price with a client before you do the work. If they accept, you can convert it straight into an invoice with one click.

Tip

Quotes and invoices use the same form — if you already know how to create an invoice, creating a quote works the same way.
