The short answer
A good quotation answers before it is asked: the item, quantity, unit price and total, whether the price includes tax, how long the offer stands, when it is delivered and how it is paid. For companies write it as a formal letter with a number and date; for a customer on WhatsApp write it as a short message ending with «shall we confirm the order?». This page has 8 ready templates: formal, WhatsApp, for a service, by quantity, in English, a follow-up after the quote, requesting a quote from a supplier, and declining a quote.

From a WhatsApp question to a quote, then payment
- Make the price «on request» when it varies
In ArabyBot Store the product shows with no price and no cart button, and in their place «ask about the price» opens the store's WhatsApp with the product name, so the question reaches you with what the customer is asking about.
- Reply with a saved template
Save template two as a quick reply, and type «/» in the chat to pick it and fill in the numbers. Quick replies.
- Send the payment link once they agree
A payment link in the same chat instead of «transfer and send the receipt». Paying inside WhatsApp. In Saudi Arabia you then issue a simplified tax invoice.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a quotation stay valid?
You set it and write it plainly in the quote. A short period protects you when supplier or shipping prices change; a longer one suits projects that need approvals.
Should I send the quote as a file or a message?
For companies: a file with a number, date and stamp, with a short message summarising it. For an individual customer on WhatsApp: one clear message is enough, then the payment link once they agree.
What if the customer does not reply to the quote?
One follow-up message after two or three days that reminds them of the validity and asks if they have a question, like template six below. Do not chase them more than that.
