Some buyers want a price before they order, for a large quantity, a recurring volume or a delivery deadline. Quote requests let them ask from the product page. You reply with your prices, and Miko sends the buyer a Shopify draft order with a checkout link, so they pay through your normal checkout.
Where to find it
Open Quote Requests from the app menu. Requests arrive in this inbox, with tabs for Pending, Quoted, Accepted and Declined.
How to set it up
Turn on the storefront form
On the Quote requests page, under Storefront form settings, tick Accept quote requests from the storefront. Set the Button label, Form title, Form intro, Submit button and Success message, and the Notification email new requests go to (leave it empty to use the store owner email). Click Save settings.
Add the block to your product page
Click Add block to product page, or in your theme editor add the Request a Quote block to the product template. In the block settings you can set the button colors and the default quantity.
Reply to a request
Open a request from the inbox. You see the buyer's contact details, their note and every line with its listed price. Enter a Quoted unit price for each line, add an optional Message on the invoice email, and click Send quote.
Sending creates a Shopify draft order with your quoted prices and emails the buyer a checkout link. The request moves to Quoted, and Open draft order takes you to it in Shopify. Use Resend quote if the buyer needs it again.
Options
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | A new request waiting for your reply. |
| Quoted | You sent a quote. The buyer has a draft order checkout link. |
| Accepted | You marked the quote as accepted with Mark accepted. |
| Declined | You declined the request. Decline lets you add an optional note to the buyer, and Confirm decline emails it to them. |
| Listed total and Quoted total | What the lines cost at your listed prices, and the total of your quote. |
What buyers fill in
The form asks for the buyer's name, email, company and phone, the quantity, and an optional note, for example a target price or delivery timeline. A signed-in customer's name and email are filled in for them.
