Online acceptance & deposits
Coming soon — deposit collection is on the roadmap and not yet available. Online acceptance (below) works today; the deposit steps describe a planned feature.
The accept page is where a "maybe" becomes a won job — without your customer creating an account or downloading anything.
What your customer sees
Every reminder links to a personal accept page carrying your logo and brand colour. It shows the estimate number and total and a name field. One tap on Accept this quote and it's done.
What happens the moment they accept
- The estimate flips to Accepted in QuickBooks — with their name recorded in the estimate's Accepted By field and today's date as Accepted Date.
- Their typed name is recorded against the acceptance.
- All future reminders for that estimate stop immediately.
- Your dashboard funnel updates: viewed → accepted.
Each accept link is unique, unguessable, and single-purpose. Once accepted, revisiting the link just shows a confirmation — it can't be accepted twice.
Collecting a deposit (coming soon)
Deposit collection is a planned feature and isn't live yet. When it ships, you'll be able to turn on deposits in Settings → Deposit:
- Connect your own Stripe account (or create one in the flow — takes a few minutes).
- Set your deposit percentage, e.g. 25%.
The plan is that, the moment a customer accepts, they'll be offered the deposit payment by card. The money will go directly into your Stripe account — Quote Nudge QB never holds your funds. Acceptance will stand even if they close the payment page.
Why deposits matter: an accepted estimate can still go cold, but an accepted estimate with 25% paid almost never does. Locking in commitment while the customer is keen is one of the biggest win-rate levers we see — which is why it's high on our roadmap.
