Use quotes for renewals
A renewal quote is issued to facilitate the continuation of an existing subscription that was originally initiated through a quote-based purchase. This is a common requirement for corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions, which often follow formal procurement processes that mandate a new quote before approving any contract extension.
Renewal quotes help ensure compliance with these internal policies while making the process more efficient for both you and your customers. Instead of initiating a brand-new quote from scratch, your customers receive a tailored renewal quote that reflects the current subscription details—such as pricing, duration, and product configuration—allowing for faster review and approval.
