Lookbook · quote · store
A quote is an editable cart with a store attached.
The quote your rep builds by hand takes 30 to 50 minutes and is wrong the moment the customer says "actually, can we do navy." Here it takes seconds, from the catalog, with the artwork already checked. The buyer opens it, changes sizes and colors, watches the price move, and pays. If they want it to keep standing, it becomes a store in one click.
Seconds, versus 30 to 50 minutes by hand.
| Line | Sizes | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Ladies quarter-zip · navy · emb. left chest | S4 M12 L10 XL6 | $1,856 |
| Polo · white (buyer changed from red) · emb. left chest | S6 M14 L14 XL8 | $1,428 |
| Tumbler 20oz · laser | 50 | $1,150 |
Step one
The lookbook. Browse, no checkout.
Paste a prospect's domain. Back comes a branded catalog with their logo on your products, checked at print resolution, no cart. Send the link. They browse on their own time and nobody has committed to anything. It's the mockup that replaces the mockup, and it's the first rung for a shop that isn't ready to sell online yet.
When they point at something, the lookbook becomes the quote. Same products, same artwork, now with sizes, quantities and a price.
Step two
The quote. Built in seconds, edited by the buyer.
Sizes, colors, quantities. Every change reprices from the price list, with the quantity tier and the size surcharge applied, and the margin floor holding underneath. The rep stops re-keying.
Worth: the second and third revision that used to cost an hour eachThe logo passed the DPI gate and sits in the real print zone of the real garment before the quote leaves. A 72 dpi file gets caught here, not on the dock.
Worth: the reprint you'd have eatenThe buyer approves, pays on your Stripe, and the order routes to your floor or your supplier on your account. No PDF to sign, no invoice to chase.
Worth: the deal that went to whoever answered firstSome buyers need a PDF for procurement. Some need a promo code for the team. Both come off the same quote without rebuilding it.
Worth: the corporate account that buys on paperStep three
Convert to a store in one click.
The quote already had a store attached. The buyer just hadn't seen it yet. One click and the quote becomes a standing store under their name, with everything they approved in it and the rest of your catalog behind it. Their team orders on their own. New hires, reorders, next season, without a call to the rep.
Six store types are waiting behind that click: employee with allowances, fundraising with a goal bar, pop-up with a countdown, redemption with a code, private B2B on terms, public with a custom domain. Store types.
What a network sees
At HQ
- Every quote from every location in the cockpit, accepted or open
- Price lists and margin floors applied to every quote, so nobody quotes under cost
- Artwork rules enforced before a quote leaves a location
- Quotes accepted counted as a channel, next to stores and ingested orders
At a location
- A quote in seconds, from the catalog, on the call
- Their own customers, their own Stripe, their own supplier accounts on the PO
- The buyer's edits arrive as a changed quote, not a new email thread
- No per-order fee on the order the quote turns into
The honest limit: a quote is only as fast as the catalog behind it. A network that hasn't curated its catalog will have reps scrolling for the right polo. Do the curation first. It's a one-time job and it pays every quote after.
Straight answers
Can the buyer change anything they want?
They change sizes, colors and quantities inside what the quote allows. Product swaps, decoration changes and anything that needs a new price go back to the rep. The rep sees the request on the quote, not in an inbox.
What if the buyer wants a PDF?
They get one, off the same quote, with the same line items and the same total. If they change their mind after, the live quote is still there.
Does a quote have to become a store?
No. Plenty of quotes get approved, paid and shipped, and that's the end. The store is one click away for the buyers who want a program, and invisible to the ones who don't.
Bring a customer's domain. We'll build the lookbook, the quote and the store on the call.
Then you change the color and watch the price move.
