Request Quote vs checkout
When volume inquiry is faster than standard cart checkout for distributors and fleet buyers.
Checkout is built for known SKUs, fixed MOQs, and clean payment paths. Request Quote is built for the opposite: mixed carts, staged deliveries, dealer pricing, and engineering review before anyone commits cash.
Use checkout when
- The SKU list is already approved and in stock
- Line items sit inside published pack sizes
- You do not need custom marking, firmware, or freight terms
Use Request Quote when
- Volume spans multiple families or ship windows
- You need dealer or fleet pricing on paper
- Samples, OEM marking, or cert packs must travel with the PO
If the cart keeps stalling on freight or MOQ, stop fighting checkout. Open a quote request or review B2B trade paths.
