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 through the API or Dashboard, you’ll need Invoicing Plus or Billing Scale. If you only plan to use quotes to create one-off invoices, upgrade to Invoicing Plus. If you plan to use quotes to create both invoices and subscriptions, upgrade to Billing Scale.
You can downgrade back to Invoicing Starter or Billing Starter at any time by visiting your settings. If you are unable to do so, please contact us.
What else is included with Invoicing Plus or Billing Scale, aside from quotes?

Billing Scale is our complete billing and reporting solution. It includes everything that’s available in Invoicing Plus, plus Revenue Recognition and advanced revenue recovery features such as smart retries. Learn more about Stripe Billing pricing.
When am I charged for quotes?
You won’t be charged for quotes separately. You only pay for the payments resulting from the subscription or invoice created from the quote.
I think I already upgraded - why don’t I have access to quotes?
If you create a quote with a recurring price that would convert to a subscription, you’ll need to upgrade to Billing Scale, even if you’ve already upgraded to Invoicing Plus.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
