Quote templates

Quote Template

A quote template helps you present scope and price before work begins. It should be clear enough for the client to approve and structured enough to become an invoice later.

What a quote template includes

Add client details, project summary, line items, optional extras, tax, validity date, acceptance terms, and deposit requirements.

  • Scope
  • Price
  • Validity date
  • Acceptance terms

Use quotes to prevent scope confusion

Specific line items make it easier to explain what is included, what costs extra, and when the quote expires.

Convert the quote into an invoice

Once accepted, use the same line items and client details to create the invoice. That keeps sales and billing aligned.
