I have had instant checkout on for the past 6+ months and also had quote requests
enabled. Lately I have not gotten any quote requests when I used to get an average
of 3 per month. Today, I had a user tell me they that my store is not showing
an option for a quote request at the end of checkout like I detail in my terms.

"For quotes, the best way to get a shipping quote is to add the item to the shopping
cart and then at the end of the checkout process, instead of clicking the order
button, click the request quote button. That way you get the final out the door
price, including that Bricklink added sales tax, if any. You can then order directly
from the quote, if you decide you want the item. Not all bricklink sellers do
this, but my store does."


If you have instant checkout turned on and allow quotes, please let me know if
you have seen a fall off of quote requests as well as I think this may be a bug.

Thanks,
John

It's a little hidden now. They have to choose a non instant checkout shipping
option in order to see the option to request a quote. This is because you don't
need a quote for an instant checkout shipping method, it shows them the price.

Thank you, this makes total sense now. I had a shipping method that I recently
removed due to not wanting to do manual invoices any longer. While this may
still happen, I want to give the option for people to request a quote, so I named
that shipping option "Enable Quote Only" and it does just that.

Thank you again for the spark of inspiration.
