When you are creating a quote, there are 3 types of line items you may add to it.
Standard Line items are items that your customer is required to purchase. Examples of a standard line item are a base package or a deposit.
Choose One items give your customer a choice to select one option out of a list. They must pick one of the options shown in order to accept the quote. Examples of a choose one item are a fee or package that is required but has tiers or options to choose from.
Choose Any Items allow your customer to choice multiple options out of a list of items. They do not have to select any of these options if they so choose. Examples of a choose any item are anything you'd like to up-sell, but is not required to purchase, such as prints, framing, insurance, etc.
Here's how these options will appear on your quote:
All line items you can add to both a Quote and Invoice are built the same way. When you click on "Add Item" you will see the following window. This is where you'll enter in the name, description, price, quantity, and category for that option:
Internal Name
The item's Internal Name is internal to your account, so this should be useful to you in identifying what the item is. If you tick "Save this item for use later" at the bottom of the dialogue window, upon saving the item will be saved to your Saved Products & Services page, and the Internal Name is what you see in the list on that page.
If you have any items already saved, you can auto-fill the line item details! Just begin typing the desired line item name, and a drop-down menu of matching options will appear for you to select:
Description
Add in the details for the item. A few things to include are any items that are included in a package, the number of hours included, and how many people the item includes.
Price
Set the amount this item is worth. If this is a new item, don't forget to check the Taxable box when necessary. This will bring up your list of pre-set tax rates for you to select the applicable one.
Quantity
For items you may offer multiples of, this is where you can set the amount your customer wishes to purchase. This could be used for additional hours your customer wants to purchase with you or something similar.
For Choose Any items, you can also opt to have the quantity be locked or be edited by the client. This would be a good option for things like tickets, where a client might want to select how many of those tickets they want.
Income Category
The income category will apply the selected transaction category for bookkeeping purposes. As payments are made, you'll see the transactions in the Bookkeeping page with the selected category.
Options
You can also opt to save the item for future use by checking the Options checkbox. Selecting this option will save the item along with its description, pricing and all other settings that you've created under Products & Services within your Account Settings.
Uploading a product Photo
Clicking the green Upload button will ask you to choose a file from your computer (this may look different, depending on your computer's operating system):
When you select a file, you'll see the preview in the Line Item options window:
Clicking Crop will change the view so you can resize your image by draging the blue squares on the sides/corners:
Just click "Save" to save your changes once you're happy with the new dimensions.
