Create and share pricing estimates for custom apparel orders before checkout. Save carts, download or email estimates, and review costs with stakeholders before purchasing.
Estimates are shareable pricing summaries generated from shopping carts. They allow you to prepare an apparel order, review its costs, and share the details with others before committing to a purchase.
Estimates are particularly useful for orders requiring approval from coaches, administrators, purchasing departments, sponsors, or other stakeholders.
Because estimates are connected to saved carts, you can return to your product selections and continue the ordering process once the necessary approvals or purchasing arrangements are complete.
Saving or sharing an estimate does not submit the order or begin production.
Estimates provide a pricing breakdown based on the products and quantities in the associated shopping cart.
The estimate reflects the pricing information available when it is generated. Changes to products, quantities, discounts, or other order details can affect the final checkout total.
Estimates help organizations complete their own purchasing reviews before submitting an order. They provide a document that stakeholders can examine without requiring the purchase to be completed first.
For example, an administrator can review proposed merchandise costs, a sponsor can evaluate the amount of funding required, or a purchasing department can use the estimate to prepare internal documentation.
Organizations can also use Team Access to assign appropriate account permissions to authorized users.
If your organization requires a formal Purchase Order, review the separate Purchase Orders process. An estimate can support internal purchasing preparation, but it does not replace an approved Purchase Order or complete the payment process.
Prepare uniform and equipment apparel estimates for coaches, athletic directors, school administrators, or business offices.
Compare product selections and quantities before placing a larger order. Estimates help stakeholders review the applicable pricing and discounts.
Share proposed merchandise costs with sponsors, fundraising organizers, or other funding partners before purchasing.
Use Multi-Cart Save to maintain separate carts for different projects and generate individual estimates for each purchase.
Estimates and Order Lock both support organizations that need time before purchasing, but they serve different purposes.
Use Estimates while reviewing costs, comparing options, or obtaining purchasing authorization. Use Order Lock when the order details are finalized and you need to preserve the pricing while completing the remaining purchasing requirements.
