Hi all,

I have potential client that requires a e-commerce solution with the ability to issue quotations/pro-forma invoices.

The client sells large products that are not typically purchased using a credit card or payment gateway.

The idea is to have the usual "shop" type application but instead of checking out, a quote request is issued.

The admin then adjusts the order to suit, changing the price accordingly and then sending a quote/pro-forma invoice.

I have looked both at shopify and spree and although one can customise the checkout process, its seems its not possible to adjust the order post-purchase.

Budget for the project is not massive, so a from-the-ground-up rails app is not feasible.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Thanks,

Steve

Spree has a built-in ability to adjust the order post-purchase, at least by an administrator

It seems you can adjust quantity and delete items, but not change the price or the description.

Another use-case example might be buying weighed goods where the exact weight must be determined before finalising the order.

Thanks,

Steve
