How to Create Quote or Estimates in QuickBooks Online?

How to create quotes in quickbooks

When you want to provide a quote, bid, or proposal to your customer for work you intend to perform, create a quote.

The form resembles an invoice, but instead of billing your client, it provides them with information about your proposal and the amount they should budget for.

The quote can then be turned into an invoice so you don’t have to enter it twice when the work is finished and you’re prepared to bill your customer.

Creating quotes or estimates in QuickBooks Online is a straightforward process that allows you to provide your clients with a detailed cost proposal for your products or services. Here are the steps to create quotes or estimates in QuickBooks Online:
