Online buyers are in search of the cheapest rates for products and services they need. They often try to grab below the list price and save some money for other things. Being an online store manager, you can also confront such a situation, where a potential buyer intends to avail discounts for a bulk order or personalization, where it needs the addition of Ask for Quote option on product pages.

Suppose your store does not have the functionality to offer discounts or calculate a price based on customer-specific needs and demands. In that case, you are more likely to lose your customer base for not allowing visitors to interact and bargain with you.

To add such a feature to your PrestaShop online shop, FME's PrestaShop Quote module comes with a solid and practical solution. You can have the application by downloading and installing it on your store and start serving customers with custom pricing for their varying needs of store items.
