Quotation Form

Use a Download Quotation Template template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What a quotation form does

A Quotation Form presents a seller’s proposed products or services, prices, quantities, terms, and customer information for review and acceptance. It is generally a business document rather than a government filing, so its exact fields depend on the transaction and company process. With signNow, a sender uploads the quotation, reviews or places fillable fields, assigns recipients, and sends it for electronic signature. The completed document and audit trail can then be retained as evidence of the presented terms, signer action, and transaction history, subject to applicable contract and recordkeeping requirements.

Who benefits from quotation forms

Quotation forms help service providers and sales teams present consistent pricing, secure approval, and preserve signed transaction records.

  • Independent consultants can send polished quotations, collect client signatures, and retain completed copies without maintaining a separate paper workflow.
  • Construction companies can route project quotations for review and signature between estimators, customers, and operations teams before work begins.
  • Growing sales teams can standardize quotation templates, delegate sending, and connect signed documents to CRM or cloud-storage records.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Quotation form challenges to address

  • Manually copying customer details and line items into a quotation can introduce pricing, quantity, or contact-information errors.
  • Unsigned quotations can leave sales teams without clear evidence that a customer reviewed and accepted the stated scope and price.
  • Different quotation layouts make approvals harder to compare and increase the chance that an outdated version reaches the customer.
  • Storing signed quotations without their audit trails can weaken the record needed to explain who signed and when.

Best practices for quotation forms

Accurate fields, controlled templates, deliberate routing, and complete records make a signed quotation easier to review and rely on.

Maintain one approved quotation template

Use a controlled quotation template that identifies the customer, quoted items, quantities, prices, expiration terms, taxes, and approving parties. Update the source template through a defined review process so senders do not reuse pricing or terms that no longer match the business offering.

Assign every field to its owner

Separate customer acceptance from internal approval by assigning each person only the fields they must complete. Require the customer’s signature on the quoted scope and price, while routing discount or margin approval to the authorized internal reviewer.

Check pricing before sending

Review the generated PDF before sending, including line-item calculations, customer details, dates, payment terms, and attachments. A final visual check helps catch formatting or field-placement errors that auto-detection may not identify.

Preserve the signed transaction record

Retain the completed quotation with its signNow audit trail and related order or invoice record. Apply the organization’s documented retention schedule, because tax, contract, and industry requirements can differ from the platform’s storage settings.

Platform requirements for quotations

Signers can review and complete a Quotation Form through supported web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, on Windows or macOS. signNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing quotation review and signing away from a desk.

  • Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops
  • Mobile access iOS and Android mobile apps

Organizations should also confirm managed-device, identity, and retention policies before deployment. Teams connecting quotations to CRM, ERP, or storage systems should verify the selected integration, user provisioning method, and access permissions so completed pricing records remain available only to authorized personnel.

Legal standing of signed quotations

A signed quotation may support a U.S. contract record when the parties show intent, consent to electronic records, signer attribution, and reliable retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law such as UETA. It does not replace documents excluded by ESIGN, including wills, court orders, and family-law decrees.

Quotation form troubleshooting questions

These answers address signing, plan, identity, and record issues that can arise when a quotation moves from draft to accepted document.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Upload the quotation, assign fields, and send it for signature without moving the document into a separate signing system.

Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month when billed annually. It is relevant when one quotation template must be distributed to multiple recipients, but each recipient’s pricing and fields should still be reviewed before sending.

If a customer needs stronger identity verification, Enterprise includes advanced signer authentication at $30 per user per month when billed annually. Configure the authentication method based on transaction risk and organizational policy rather than treating every quotation as requiring the same control.

A signed quotation can support an electronic transaction when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law such as UETA govern the legal framework; signNow supplies the signing workflow and audit record.

signNow paid plans include 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees applying to subscription plans. If a high-volume quotation process exceeds that allowance, review the Site License option, priced at $1.50 per signature invite.

For a quotation containing protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA. Confirm the BAA and workflow controls before including PHI; otherwise, remove unnecessary health information from the quotation.
