Looking for a Quotify alternative?
Request-a-quote form apps capture the lead. QuoteMate drafts the quote, applies your rules, and sends an on-brand proposal—then syncs the accepted order back into Shopify.
Plenty of Shopify merchants start with a request-a-quote app like Quotifyto add a “Request a quote” button and hide prices for B2B or wholesale buyers. That solves the capture step—but the form was never the hard part. Turning the request into an accurate, on-brand quote, fast, is where deals are won or lost. That's the part QuoteMate is built for.

| Hide price / swap “Add to cart” for “Request a quote” | Yes | Yes |

FAQ
Is QuoteMate a Quotify alternative?
QuoteMate is an alternative for merchants who've outgrown a request-a-quote form. Form apps like Quotify are built to capture the request from your storefront; QuoteMate goes further and drafts the quote itself, applies your pricing and approval rules, sends an on-brand proposal, and syncs the accepted order back into Shopify as a draft order.
Does QuoteMate replace request-a-quote apps?
For most merchants, yes—QuoteMate covers both the capture step and the merchant-side work of turning that request into an accurate, on-policy quote. If all you need is a lead-capture form, a lightweight form app may be enough. If quoting is where deals stall, QuoteMate handles the whole path.
When is a request-a-quote form app enough on its own?
If your catalog is small, your pricing is flat, and staff are happy to build each quote by hand, a form app that emails you the request can be plenty. QuoteMate earns its place when volume, per-account pricing, discount guardrails, or on-brand proposals start to matter.
Is QuoteMate available on the Shopify App Store?
Not yet. QuoteMate for Shopify is coming soon to the Shopify App Store — it can't be installed or trialled today, and there's no announced launch date. Join the early-access list from the Shopify page and you'll be first in when it goes live.
