Step 1: Login to WHMCS Admin Panel

  1. Go to your WHMCS Admin URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/admin).

  2. Login with your Admin credentials.

Step 2: Go to Create a Quotation

  1. Navigate to:
    Billing → Create New Quote (or Quotes depending on WHMCS version)

  2. Click Create New Quote.

Step 3: Select Client

  1. Choose the Client from the dropdown list.

  2. If the client does not exist, create a new client first.

Step 4: Add Products/Services

  1. Select the Products/Services you want to quote.

  2. Enter:

    • Quantity

    • Price (customizable if needed)

    • Description

  3. You can also add one-time fees or setup fees if applicable.

Step 5: Set Expiry & Notes

  1. Set Quote Expiry Date (e.g., 7 days, 14 days).

  2. Add internal notes (optional, visible only to admin).

  3. Add client notes (optional, visible on quote PDF/email).

Step 6: Save and Send Quote

  1. Click Save Quote.

  2. WHMCS will generate a quote reference number.

  3. You can:

Step 7: Convert Quote to Invoice (After Approval)

    • Go to Quotes → View Quote → Convert to Invoice

  2. Review the invoice details and send it to the client for payment.
