Quotes

A job enquiry comes in through the assistant. You open it, pick line items from your price list, and send a quote the customer can open on their phone and accept. No accounting software, no PDF wrangling.

Trades and service businesses that quote per job: electricians, plumbers, builders, landscapers, mobile mechanics, cleaners.

What it does

Builds on Contacts.

Included free, up to 200 quotes a month.

Starts from the enquiry

The job details a customer gave the assistant are already in the request. You are pricing, not re-typing.

Your price list, reused

Saved line items with rates and units, so the second quote for the same kind of job takes under a minute.

Accepted with one tap

The customer opens a link, sees the quote, and accepts. You get told immediately and the quote is locked.

Revise without rewriting history

A revision is a fresh quote with a new number. What the customer already accepted, declined or let lapse stays exactly as it was.

Invoice the moment they accept

One click turns an accepted quote into a numbered invoice with the same agreed lines, a due date, your payment details and a printable page in your choice of theme.

Questions

Does this replace my accounting software?

No. Quotes and simple invoices live here; bookkeeping, tax accounting and reconciliation belong in Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. An invoice here is a document your customer can read, print and pay against - not a ledger entry.

Can I send an invoice from it?

Yes - from an accepted quote. The lines and totals are copied exactly as agreed, the invoice gets its own INV number, and the customer gets a printable page. Mark it paid when the money lands; a paid invoice never changes.

Can the customer pay a deposit when they accept?

Yes. Set a deposit percentage on the quote and the customer pays it by card the moment they accept, straight into your own account through Stripe. MakerBay never holds the money and adds no fee on top of Stripe's. Unpaid invoices get a Pay online button the same way, and mark themselves paid when the money lands.
