Quotes

Quotes are used for price negotiations between the customer and the merchant.

Workflow

While there are more complicated processes possible, the current implementation is intentionally kept simple.

The current implementation recommends that the user is logged in before doing anything. After logging in, the user can:

• Create new quotes
  INFO: Only one active new quote is allowed at a time, the quote behaves like a shopping cart.
• Submit / delete / refuse a quote.
• See / manage the list of quotes in the My Account section.
• See the quote request details in the My Account section.

Limitations

Generally, a subscription is an one-time triggered, but periodically executed purchase of certain products or services. In subscription-based business models, consequently, customers pay periodically to use or receive a defined set of products at a regular base.

The B2X edition of Intershop Commerce Management supports subscription models via recurring orders.

Note: Subscritions do not work with quotes and vice versa. That is, one cannot create a subscription from a cart that contains a quote. The other way around, a quote cannot be added to a cart if it is already marked as recurrent.
