BigCommerce guide
Setup & storefront
Setup pages control merchant identity, quote behavior, customer-facing copy, outbound mail, and assignment. Storefront widget then publishes those settings through BigCommerce Script Manager.
Store details
- Company name, support email, phone, fax, and business address.
- Store website, tax ID, and business hours.
- Store currency synchronized from BigCommerce and used for new quotes.
- Company logo used on quotes, emails, PDFs, and branding.
Logo uploads accept PNG, JPG, or GIF files up to 2 MB. The saved public URL follows
/cdn/profile/{storeId}/logos/{uuid}.ext.
Quote rules
- Enable Quotes — Master switch for the quote system.
- Hide All Prices / Hide Zero Price — B2B storefront price visibility.
- Quote Chat — Store-level chat switch when the optional chat deployment is available.
- Brand Color — Primary color for quote buttons and branded elements.
- Shipping line name — Label applied to the quoted shipping line at checkout.
- Hidden Price Display — Replacement text shown instead of a hidden price.
- Quote Numbering — Prefix and sequence settings for quote IDs.
Customer Interface
Customize storefront button labels, launcher style, and customer messages without editing theme files:
- Add to Quote / Request a Quote button text on product pages.
- Convert to Quote button text on the cart page.
- Launcher design (ticket, orb, or pill) with brand color.
- Empty quote message and submission confirmation headline/body.
Notifications
- Use the Quote2Cart shared relay or configure a custom SMTP host, port, encryption, user, and password.
- Send a test message after saving delivery settings.
- Set subject prefix, new-quote notification recipients, BCC recipients, and reminder delay.
- Choose an email/PDF presentation style and edit new-quote, confirmation, terms, and reminder copy.
Custom SMTP passwords are stored encrypted; leave the password blank later to keep the saved value.
Quote Distribution
Choose how incoming storefront requests are assigned:
- Load balanced — Automatically distribute requests across sales reps.
- Manual — Keep requests unassigned until a manager chooses an owner.
Storefront widget & publish
BigCommerce loads the Quote2Cart storefront script via Script Manager. Publishing from the app installs or updates that script and turns the live shopper experience on.
- Complete the required Setup checklist.
- Open Storefront widget (or Dashboard publish controls).
- Click Publish widget.
- Open the storefront and verify Add to Quote, Convert to Quote, and the quote launcher.
Disable widget removes customer quote controls but keeps configuration for a later republish. It does not uninstall the Quote2Cart app from BigCommerce.
Customer storefront experience
- Add products and selected options to a quote from product pages.
- Convert the current BigCommerce cart into a quote request.
- Review and update quote lines, quantities, and contact details before submission.
- See My Quotes for quote requests created in the same browser session.
- Open the checkout link from a sent quote to rebuild the BigCommerce cart with negotiated pricing and shipping.
