Client experience
When your client opens the proposal link, they land on a clean, branded page with your offer laid out and an easy way to say yes.
Your offer, their choices
At the top, the client sees your business name and logo and your personal message. Below that is Your proposal, broken into clear sections:
- What's included: your core offer, with the main item highlighted if you set one.
- Extras to add: your add-ons, shown as checkboxes the client can tick on or off.
- Alternatives: grouped options where the client picks one from each group.
A live Summary shows the subtotal, tax, and total, and it updates the moment the client changes a selection. They always see exactly what they're getting and what it costs.
Next steps
If you added anything beyond pricing, a Next steps section guides the client through it:
- Review contract: they open and sign the contract.
- The questionnaire, if you attached one.
- Payment, if you turned it on.
Accept or decline
When they're ready, the client clicks Accept or Decline. Declining can include an optional reason, which you'll see on your end.
Paying
If you set up payment, how the client pays depends on the method you chose:
- Online: the proposal opens the invoice so they can pay by card.
- Manual, or when you let the client choose, the page shows your payment instructions and lets them upload proof of payment. Accepted files are JPEG, PNG, WebP, or PDF, up to 5 MB.
If you asked for a deposit, the client sees the full total with a note that they can pay the rest later from the invoice.
What happens when they accept
Accepting locks in the client's selections and sets everything in motion at once:
- An invoice is created, if you turned on payment.
- A contract is created and ready for the client to sign, if you attached one.
- A questionnaire is sent, if you attached one (after the contract is signed, when there's a contract).
- A booking is created, for inquiry proposals, based on your rule.
You get a Proposal accepted notification, and the client sees confirmation that they're all set.
