Proposals & PDF Documents

Branded PDF proposals, store-view-aware transactional emails, and a one-click send that carries the current quote — pricing, tiers, terms, and all — straight to the buyer’s inbox.

EasyQuote turns a quote into a branded proposal in one click — a store-styled PDF, a transactional email with every line item inline, and an idempotent send action safe to repeat. The buyer accepts, declines, or replies directly from the email thread.

Every proposal carries the same pricing, tier tables, and currency as the negotiated quote — there’s no re-keying and no divergence between what the rep saw and what the buyer receives.

Proposal Emails & Send Actions

One-click proposal send, idempotent re-send, and admin workflow actions that transition the quote through its real lifecycle states.

send

Send proposal (idempotent)

One admin action regenerates the branded email and attaches the latest PDF. It’s safe to repeat — re-sending does not duplicate quote records or change totals, so it’s the right answer when a buyer says “I never got your email.”

mark_email_read

Manual email resend

Separate from the primary proposal action, admin can re-send the same quote email at any time — useful when the buyer forwards the proposal to an approver and needs a fresh copy.

check_circle

Approve quote action

A one-click Approve action transitions the quote into the approved state and triggers the customer notification email. See the full workflow for every lifecycle transition.

attach_email

Auto-attached PDF

The proposal email carries the generated PDF as an attachment — no second action, no extra settings. Buyers get a read-ready proposal the moment they open the message.

picture_as_pdf

PDF Documents

Branded PDF proposals generated on demand from the current quote — line items, tier pricing, store terms, and the store view’s branding, every time.

picture_as_pdf

PDF proposal generation

The PDF is rendered on request from the current quote data — no cached files. Every download reflects the latest negotiated prices, tier selections, and store configuration.

cloud_download

Admin download & customer email delivery

The admin downloads the PDF directly from the quote grid. The customer receives the same PDF attached to the proposal email — so both sides read from the same document without a separate customer portal.

branding_watermark

Branded header, footer & logo

A per-store header and footer template let you set the logo, company address, legal text, and page numbering once. Multi-store-view setups produce visually distinct PDFs from the same quote using each store’s brand assets.

format_align_bottom

Configurable PDF footer

The footer is a separate configurable block from the main body — perfect for legal disclaimers, payment terms, or a per-store signature line. It applies to every proposal from that store.

table_chart

Line items with tier pricing

Each quote line appears with its negotiated price, quantity, and — when defined — the full volume-tier table rendered inline. Approvers see every break in the PDF without needing to chase the sales rep.

assignment

Terms, notes & PDF footer copy

Store-level terms and a configurable footer template cover the recurring copy every proposal needs — T&Cs, payment windows, validity statements — without re-keying them into every quote.

mail

Email Templates & Customisation

Standard Magento transactional email templates with store-view locale routing — edit the proposal email in Marketing → Email Templates, no code changes needed.

code

Structured template variables

Proposal templates receive the quote, its line items, totals, and store-level branding as standard template variables — so you can re-layout the email for your brand without touching PHP.

translate

Per-store-view locale routing

The store view the quote was created on drives template selection — a German-store quote sends the DE template, an English-store quote sends the EN template. No manual per-customer handling.

style

Email-client-compatible markup

Templates use inline-styled, email-safe markup so Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, and corporate mail filters all render the proposal consistently — no broken tables, no stripped CSS.

EasyQuote vs Manual Proposal Workflow

Most Magento stores run a DIY proposal process — Excel for line items, Word for the cover, manual PDF export, email attachment. EasyQuote collapses that into one admin action.

Frequently Asked Questions

help_outline
How is the proposal PDF generated? expand_more

The PDF is rendered on demand from the current quote — there's no cached file. Every download reflects the latest negotiated prices, tier selections, and store configuration, so the buyer can't end up reading a stale version.

help_outline
Can I brand the PDF per store view? expand_more

Yes. Store-level configuration controls the logo, company address, footer legal text, and page numbering. A multi-store setup with EN and DE views produces two visually different PDFs from the same quote using each store's brand assets and locale.

help_outline
What happens if I click “Send Proposal” twice? expand_more

The send action is idempotent — it regenerates and resends the email but does not duplicate quote records, change totals, or break the audit trail. It’s safe to re-send whenever a buyer needs a fresh copy.

help_outline
Can the customer view the proposal without logging in? expand_more

Yes. The proposal email contains every line item with pricing, discounts, and tier tables rendered inline — so approvers can read and forward it without logging in. Accepting the proposal, however, requires login and uses the quick checkout flow.

help_outline
Does the proposal PDF include tier pricing tables? expand_more

Yes. When a quote line has multiple volume tiers, the PDF renders the full tier table inline for that line — qty, price, and the selected tier highlighted. Approvers reviewing the printed proposal see every volume break without chasing the sales rep.

help_outline
Can I customise the proposal email template? expand_more

All EasyQuote emails are standard Magento transactional email templates — edit them in Marketing → Email Templates, no code changes needed. Templates receive the quote, its items, totals, and formatted helpers; store-view routing is automatic.

help_outline
Does the customer get the PDF attached to the email? expand_more

Yes. The generated PDF rides along as an attachment on the proposal email. Buyers get a read-ready document the moment they open the message — no portal login, no separate download link.
