The short version

Quick Quote prices one event for you to save, send or turn into a proposal.

01

Before you start

02

Start the quote

  1. Open Quick Quote from the sidebar.
  2. To price an existing event, click Pick an event to auto-fill, or enter manually below and choose it. Click Change to pick another.
  3. In Event Details, enter the guest count, hours and service times.
The Quick Quote calculator with Event Details, Staffing, Packages & services and the Price Summary.

The X beside a linked event unlinks it and keeps your pricing. Pick another event and saving replaces what it had saved.

03

Add staff and bundles

  1. In Staffing, change a role's count or click Add staff. Edits apply to this quote only.
  2. In Packages & services, tick each bundle you sell. A core bundle is always included and has no checkbox.
  3. Use À la Carte Items for single items outside any bundle.
04

Read the price

  1. Read Price Summary. CLIENT PRICE is the total.
  2. Set any Discount, Service Charge and Gratuity the job has. Service Charge starts from your default under Invoice defaults.
  3. Turn on Show package contents so a proposal can list what each bundle holds.

With two or more active taxes set to Always taxed, the Sales tax box under the client price picks the tax. With an event linked, it shows and changes that event's tax. After an invoice is sent, use the event's tax card. The box is hidden on a tax-exempt event, and under Stripe Tax, where clients see prices before tax. Price Summary adds a row per tax. A proposal shows no tax.

Save and share

  1. Click Save to Project, choose Create a new project or Link to an existing project, and click Save. With an event linked, click Save Quote instead.
