How to Add a Request-a-Quote Flow to Magento 2

In B2B and wholesale, the list price is the start of a conversation, not the end. Buyers want to request a quote, negotiate quantities and raise a PO — and a standard Magento checkout has nowhere for that to happen, so the enquiry ends up lost in an inbox.

Let buyers build a quote

An "Add to Quote" option on product and category pages lets buyers assemble a request instead of checking out. Allowing guest quotes (with optional account creation) widens the net to first-time trade buyers.

Negotiate line by line

A real quote is a working document: you counter each line — unit price, discount, surcharge, fees, shipping — and, if you map a cost attribute, watch your margin as you go. Auto-approve rules can clear small discounts automatically.

Close the loop

Once agreed, the quote should convert straight into a Magento order, carrying the PO number and requested delivery date through — no re-keying, no spreadsheets.
