Quotes and estimates customers approve from their phone: the estimate goes out as a link, the customer signs it, and booked cars land on the schedule.
Yes, on every plan, including Free. The estimate is the work order itself: add the jobs with their labor and parts, then email it to the customer from the work order, and they open it from a link. Signing it online starts on a paid plan.
Yes, on any paid plan. Customers open the estimate link and sign to approve, you get notified, and the work order status updates. Paying by card comes with the invoice: once you invoice the job, the link gets a Pay Now button if you take online payments.
Yes, on any paid plan: you set your days, time slots and booking window, and customers pick a service, enter their car and choose a time on your page at quotera.app/book/your-shop-name.
Yes, on Pro and Max. The calendar shows appointments, scheduled work and blocked days side by side, by month or by day, with drag-and-drop scheduling.

Contact support and we will work out the options with you.

Yes, on every plan, including Free. The invoice comes from the same work order, so nothing is typed twice. Email it to the customer from the work order, and record cash, checks and other payments yourself with Add Payment; payments you record have no fee.
Yes, on any paid plan. Connect Stripe, and the invoices you send get a Pay Now button; customers pay by credit or debit card, and the money goes to your Stripe account, then your bank.
