Multi-item quoting

It's now possible to request quotes for multiple items at the same time!

When you create a quote request, you can now add as many items as you want. A multi-item request is useful for quoting items that will be produced together, for products that come in multiple sizes, flavors, colors, etc. You can also use multi-item quotes for packaging that contains multiple sub-components like inner boxes and inserts.

Suppliers will see a multi-item quote request if all the items included match their capabilities. As you add items you'll see how many suppliers can offer all of the items in one quote.

Additionally, we've made it easier to compare quotes between different items and suppliers at a glance from the quote request page.

Fixes and improvements for brands

  • Ability to request quotes for multiple items
  • New way to compare multiple quotes in a request
