    How to Convert a Quote to an Order

    We’ve developed a new functionality to enable you to convert your quotations into orders. Please note that you need to be logged in to access any of the "My Account" screens, or to see your quotes’ history.

    Please follow the steps below to convert a quote to an order immediately after you have created a quote

    a)     On reaching the Quote confirmation page, please click on “Click here for details”. This will provide you with information regarding your quote and if you scroll down, you will be able to click on the “Convert” button, which will add the quoted items to your cart. From here, you can proceed to the checkout page and place your order as usual.


    Please follow the steps below to convert a quotation to an order at a later date

    a)    If you would like to convert a quote at a later date, you can do so by clicking on the "My Account" icon, found on the top right of your screen. Once in the "My Account" section, on the left menu panel, click on the “Quotes” tab to see your quote history.

    b)   Once on the “Quotes” history page, you can see all of your previously placed quotes. Find the quote that you would like to convert into a sales order. Select the “convert” button on the same line item as the identified quote.

    c)    The items will be placed into your cart, at the quoted price. From here, you can checkout as normal.


    Quote Validity 

    Quotes are typically valid for 7 days from creation. The expiry date of a quotation will be reflected on the "Quotes" history screen, in the "Expiry Date" column. Once a quote is no longer valid, the convert button will no longer be available and the quote will change to show “Expired” and you will no longer be able to convert the quote. A new quotation or order needs to be created.


    Once a Quote is Converted

    The status of a quote will change to “Converted” once you have converted any of the quoted items into an order. You will not be able to convert a converted quote into an order again.

    If you need any assistance with the new functionality please email ecommerce@macsteel.co.za.
