2023-04-06: CE - Quote Management
Overview
Emporix offers a sophisticated Quote Management Service fully integrated into the Commerce Engine (CE) and the Emporix Management Dashboard.
The Quote Service API endpoints can be used to receive quotes from the Storefront with transparent display of status fields to the customers and event-driven email notifications. In addition, quotes can be managed and approved by the Merchants’ Customer Service staff in the Emporix Management Dashboard, to provide an end-to-end quote management flow.
