Quick Quote & estimation

Quick Quote is a shop calculator. Customers never see this page. Use it to ballpark a job before you build a full order, or to check margin.

Quick Quote (sidebar)

Quick Quote is in the sidebar, often under More.

Inputs

  • Quantity
  • Garment: Budget / Standard / Premium / Fleece or search My Catalog, Your Products, S&S, SanMar
  • Markup override
  • Decoration method: Screen print or Embroidery (matches /test/quote-items stitch-count pricing)
  • Screen print: front/back ink colors, light/dark, cotton/poly, fleece
  • Embroidery: type (left chest, cap, sleeve, …), stitch count, text/names, foam, metallic, digitizing
  • Finishing: fold, polybag, neck labels
  • Names & numbers on the back: none, numbers only, player name, or name & number (optional outlined / multi-color)
  • Include/exclude press run and pre-press (screen print) or embroidery labor and digitizing

Outputs

  • Customer-facing breakdown and grand total
  • Internal economics (margin, wholesale) when shown
  • Copy customer quote / Copy internal quote

Info icons explain volume markup, dark garments, polyester, and press run.

Defaults

Settings → Orders Settings (Quick Quote section):

  • Garment pricing: Auto-scale (volume tiers) or a custom markup %
  • Press run: auto-scale or custom $ / unit, plus extra per additional ink color
  • Names & numbers: enable the option, then pick flat rate (typical for full teams) or per digit (walk-ins / retail). Set per-shirt fees for numbers, names, the combo, and the outlined-number add-on. Per-digit mode bills each numeral (e.g. #7 vs #23) using the per-digit rate.
  • Pass costs to customer: bill press run and/or pre-press on the customer-facing quote

Reset restores defaults. These settings feed Quick Quote.

Estimation (on the order)

Estimation needs artwork plus garment lines that include piece cost (typical after adding S&S, SanMar, or local items with cost).

It compares an ideal quote (calculator) to the invoice subtotal so you can see variance before you send for approval. The same names/numbers add-ons are available there. If the order artwork method is embroidery, Estimation and Add Item switch to stitch-count + digitizing instead of screens.

On the invoice Add Item panel, decoration charges (press/labor + screens, or embroidery + digitizing) can be unchecked so they are not added as extra line items.

Put Quick Quote on your website or call it from an agent

If you want customers to run a quote on your own site, an admin can create a public Quick Quote embed under Settings → Developer (see Public Quick Quote embed in the repo). Shop costs can be hidden on that embed so buyers only see the customer-facing total.

AI agents and custom apps can use the Integration API:

  1. GET /api/v1/quotes/catalog — the shop's My Catalog as a simple garment list
  2. POST /api/v1/quotes/calculate — same pricing engine as Quick Quote (including names/numbers)

Authenticate with the bearer token from Settings → Developer. Details are in the OpenAPI spec (/openapi.yaml).
