Quick order and RFQ

Shopify Quick Order Forms and Request for Quote: Bulk Ordering for Wholesale Buyers

Wholesale buyers rarely browse one product at a time. A quick order page lets them enter many SKUs and quantities at once, and a request for quote lets them ask for a price before they buy. This hub covers quick order, CSV import, reorder and quote workflows for Shopify, with guides and docs.

How does a quick order page work?

What is a quick order form?

A quick order form is an order page for buyers who know what they want. They search, enter quantities for many products and variants, and add everything to the cart at once.

Does quick order show wholesale prices?

For buyers who are not in native Shopify companies, Quick Order and the quote cart use BSS B2B Solution prices: quantity breaks, custom prices and quantity increments. Set the prices there and they carry over.

Shopify facts in this section: [2], read October 4, 2026.

How do CSV upload and reorder work?

Which files can buyers upload?

CSV, XLSX and XLS files. The app reads the first sheet and matches common SKU and quantity headers. Rows with a zero quantity are skipped, duplicate SKUs are added together, and valid rows are added to the cart, not sent straight to checkout.

What if a SKU is wrong or out of stock?

Unknown SKUs are listed in a banner while valid SKUs still go to the cart. Out-of-stock variants are removed, and the buyer sees a message about it.

How does reorder work?

Logged-in buyers repeat a past order from a reorder page. The app creates a draft order with the same variants and quantities at current prices.

Bulk Import pop-up listing two products from an uploaded CSV with quantities and an Add all variants to cart button

How does request for quote work?

How does a quote move from request to order?

A visitor adds products to a quote and submits the form. You edit unit prices, shipping and expiry and send a proposal, or auto-send one. The logged-in buyer approves from the email, and the app creates a draft order and sends the invoice.

Can I create a quote myself?

Yes. You can create a quote in the admin for a customer, then edit and send it like any other.

Can guests request a quote, and can I hide the price?

Yes to both. Guests can submit a quote, and you can hide the price and Add to cart for quoted products. Approving from the email link needs a logged-in buyer.

Request For Quote pop-up with the quoted product, general information fields and a shipping address

ExampleA CSV upload and a quote

A fictional buyer uploads four rows, then asks for a better price on a bulk item.

Quote for 200 units at $10.00You change the unit price to $8.50 and add $40.00 shipping.Proposal: $1,740.00.
Buyer approves from the emailThe app creates a draft order and sends the invoice.The buyer pays through the invoice link.

Illustrative numbers. The quote total is 200 x $8.50 plus $40.00.

Native or BSS B2B Quote?

Native is enough when

buyers order a few variants per product, you quote by creating draft orders yourself, and you do not need CSV upload.

Add BSS B2B Quote when

buyers order by SKU list or spreadsheet, you want self-service reorder, or you want buyers to request quotes and approve proposals.

Common mistakes and limits

Check these before you promise buyers a flow.

CSV adds to the cart

Uploaded rows go to the cart, not straight to checkout.

Theme needs Online Store 2.0

The Quick Order page and variant table are theme sections, so a legacy theme needs an upgrade.

Approval needs a login

A quote from a guest can still get a proposal and an invoice from you, but the approve link needs a logged-in buyer.

Quotes change price, shipping and expiry

There is no separate discount field on a quote.

Plans gate features

Reorder starts on Growth and the variant table on Business. Growth allows 100 quotes, and Business and up are unlimited.
