Managing Quotes and Invoices

To learn more about Digital Invoicing, contact us for a demo.

Sales Representatives, Sales Representatives (With Coupons), Support Representatives, and Store / Account Administrators can manage digital invoicing orders. The FastSpring app will help you view quote status, filter for B2B orders, and manually initiate fulfillments. 

Quote Status

Navigate to the quote’s details page to view its status. There are 5 quote statuses:

  • Open: After you create a new quote, it remains open until the customer accepts it, you cancel it, or it expires.
  • Pending Payment: The prospect accepted a quote, however they have not paid yet. Click View Order to view additional information.
  • Completed: The prospect successfully paid for the order.
  • Expired: If a quote is still in the open status on the configured expiration date, FastSpring marks it as expired. Customers can no longer view the quote, however you can duplicate it to a new quote. Accepted quotes do not expire.
  • Canceled: Click Cancel Quote to cancel an open or accepted quote. Customers can no longer view the quote, however you can duplicate it to a new quote.

Filter for Quote-Driven Orders

Within the Orders page of the app, you can filter the orders to display orders that have quotes associated with them. This will return all completed and pending orders that generated form quotes. 

  1. Navigate to Sales > Orders.
  2. In the All Orders tab, click All Sources > Quote Driven.
  3. Optionally, apply additional filters to your search to further specify the results.

Filter E-Commerce Orders

To exclude quote-driven orders from your search, apply the E-Commerce filter. This returns all store orders that did not originate from a quote. 

Quotable and Non-Quotable Products

Customize which products may be added to quotes by tagging them. By default, all products in your product catalog are Quotable, Follow the steps below to make a product Non-Quotable. 

  1. In the FastSpring App, navigate to the product you wish to make Non-Quotable.
  2. In the top, right corner of the product’s details page, click the Quotable drop-down, and select Non-Quotable.
  3. Your changes will be saved automatically.

Changes are not permanent. You can repeat this process to make a product quotable in the future. 

Send a Fulfillment Before Order Completion

FastSpring will automatically send a prospect their fulfillment after a successful transaction or invoice order. This depends on the quote’s configuration. However, you can override deliver-after-payment settings to deliver a fulfillment immediately. This does not impact the order status. 

  1. In the Orders page, navigate to the pending order’s details page.
  2. Under Item Details, click Process Fulfillment.
  3. Click Confirm. FastSpring immediately sends the fulfillment to the prospect.

Add a Purchase Order Number to an Invoice

After a prospect accepts a quote and creates an invoice, you or the prospect can add the purchase order number directly to the invoice. 

  1. Navigate to Sales > Quotes. If there is no associated invoice, click Generate Invoice.
  2. After the quote is in the accepted status, click View Invoice from the quote’s details page.
  3. On the invoice, click +Add PO Number.
  4. Enter the purchase order number, and click Save.

Edit “Due Date” on any Active Unpaid Invoice

After a prospect creates an invoice, you can edit the due date on the invoice if the following conditions are met:

  • The invoice is unpaid
  • The invoice has not expired

To edit the due date on the invoice, follow the steps below:

  1. In the FastSpring App, navigate to Sales>Orders>Awaiting Payment.
