# How to access quotes

[Quotes](https://stripe.com/docs/quotes) let you provide a pricing estimate to a customer before starting a subscription or an invoice.
You can try out quotes in test mode. You’ll be able to draft, finalize, and download test quotes as a PDF. You can also “accept” a quote to see it convert into a test subscription or invoice. This is a great way to try out the product experience.
To finalize, download, or accept quotes in live mode for one-off invoices through the API or Dashboard, you’ll need [Invoicing Plus](https://stripe.com/invoicing/pricing). You can downgrade back to Invoicing Starter at any time by visiting your [settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/register?redirect=%2Fsettings%2Fbilling%2Fplans).
## FAQs
**When am I charged for quotes?**
You won’t be charged for quotes separately. You only pay for the payments resulting from the invoice created from the quote.
