Advanced Quotes are designed for creating detailed estimates. They allow you to reuse your Live Pricing & Real-Time Booking Pages or Interactive Quoting Pages to create accurate Quotes in just a few steps.

When should I use an Advanced Quote?

Use an Advanced Quote when:

  • You already have a Live Pricing or an Interactive Quoting Page

  • You want to reuse your existing pricing, options, and add-ons

  • you want to create a more detailed quote with services, options, and frequencies, notes and attachments — even if you’re starting from scratch

If you already know the exact price and just need to send a fast estimate, a Quick Quote may be a better fit.


This article provides a step-by-step guide to creating an Advanced Quote, divided into eight detailed sections for easy navigation.

Section 1 - Ways to Create an Advanced Quote

You can create an Advanced Quote from multiple places in MioCommerce:

  • Navigate to All-in-1 E-Commerce, then select Create -> Quote -> Advanced Quote

  • Navigate to the All-in-1 E-Commerce Dashboard, hover over the Create button, and select Create an Advanced Quote.

  • From the main left navigation menu, select Quotes, then click the Create Advanced Quote button

  • Navigate to any customer profile, then select Create Advanced Quote from the Actions menu on the left

Section 2 - Choose who the Quote is for

You can issue an Advanced Quote to either a new prospect or an existing customer.

New prospect

  • Only an email address is required

  • All other details can be added later

Existing customer

  • Customer details (name, email, phone, location) are auto-filled if they already exist in your account

This makes Advanced Quotes ideal for call-ins, email inquiries, or follow-ups.

Section 3 - Add a service location (Optional)

  • For new prospects, a service location is optional and can be added later

  • For existing customers, saved locations are added automatically

  • If adding a new location, assign a nickname to easily recognize it later

You can always edit the location before converting the Quote into a booking.

Section 4 - Create a quote from an existing Advanced Booking Page or create a custom quote from scratch

You have two ways to build an Advanced Quote:

Use an existing Advanced Booking Page

You can base the Quote on:

All configured questions, pricing rules, extras, and options will automatically appear, allowing you to create the Quote quickly and consistently.

Create a Custom Quote from scratch

If you don’t want to use an existing page, you can build the Quote from scratch by manually adding services, extras, and discounts.

After choosing any of the above approach, select the service type (for example: Home Cleaning, Commercial Cleaning, Mobile Detailing, Pet Services).

For example, if you select Use Existing Live Pricing & Real-Time Booking Page and then choose Basic Home Cleaning, all the questions and pricing you previously set up for the Basic Home Cleaning Live Pricing & Real-Time Booking Page will be displayed.

Now, simply select answers to the pricing questions, add any extras or custom options you need—and you're done!

Section 5 - Add or edit line items

Use the Editable Standard Quote Form to:

  • Add goods and services

  • Edit pricing or quantities

  • Remove items as needed

This section controls what appears on the final Quote sent to the customer.

Section 6 - Set service frequencies

Boost sales by offering flexible service frequency options.

In case you selected Use an existing Advanced Booking Page, all the service frequencies defined on that page will be displayed here. You’ll also have the option to add or remove frequency options as needed.

Once you send the Quote, your customer will receive it via email and/or text. All available frequencies will be displayed with a Book & Buy Now! option, allowing them to select and purchase their preferred frequency.

Section 7 - Review optional settings

Before sending the Quote, you can optionally:

  • Add notes or attachments

  • Apply taxes (configured in Tax Settings)

  • Set a custom expiration date or choose no expiration

  • Use your default Quote settings or override them

  • Add Terms & Conditions (up to 2048 characters)

Tax Settings

Add applicable taxes. To create a new tax rate, go to Tax settings.

Expiration Settings

You can set an expiration date for the quote. If the customer clicks the purchase link after this date, they will see a message informing them that the quote has expired.

You can use the existing quote settings. To review or edit your settings, click here.

Alternatively, select a custom expiration date or choose to have no expiration date.

Learn more on how to modify expiration settings.

Terms & Conditions

Finally, you have the option to add Terms & Conditions, which will appear on the Quote. The maximum length is 2048 characters.

Section 8 - Send the Quote

Once everything is ready, you can:

  • Preview the Quote

  • Save it as a draft to send later

  • Save and Send the Quote immediately

When sending, you’ll choose whether to deliver it via email, SMS, or both.

When you click Save and Send Quote, a pop-up will appear to confirm whether you want to send it via email or SMS.

What happens after the Quote is sent?

  • The customer reviews the Quote online

  • They can accept or decline it

  • If accepted, the Quote is automatically converted into a booking

  • You receive an email notification

  • The booking becomes available in your Bookings Page

What to do next

After sending an Advanced Quote, you can:

  • Track its status from the Quotes page

  • Edit and resend it if the customer requests changes

  • Let automatic reminders follow up for you

  • Move straight into scheduling and dispatch once it’s accepted
