When a customer accepts your quote, the print request moves from the quoting stage into active fulfillment. This is the point where the job becomes part of your real production workflow.
What acceptance means
A customer accepting your quote usually means:
-
The customer reviewed your price
-
The request is approved to move forward
-
Payment may have been completed as part of the acceptance flow
-
The job can begin moving toward production
At this point, the request becomes more than a pricing opportunity. It becomes active work you need to manage.
What usually happens next
After a quote is accepted, the request may move into a status such as:
-
Accepted
-
In Progress
The exact status flow may vary slightly, but the request is now part of your operational queue.
Your next steps as a Maker
Once the quote has been accepted, you should:
-
Reopen the request and confirm the final details
-
Make sure the job is in your active workflow
-
Begin production when appropriate
-
Update statuses as work progresses
-
Prepare for shipping or delivery when the print is ready
Why this stage matters
This stage is important because it marks the transition from planning to fulfillment. The customer now expects progress, so your updates and execution matter more than ever.
What to check before starting work
Before beginning production, confirm:
-
The request details are still clear
-
The quoted job matches what you intend to produce
-
Your materials and printer availability are ready
-
The request is in the correct status
How to manage accepted work well
To keep accepted jobs moving smoothly:
-
Treat accepted jobs as part of your active production queue
-
Update statuses on time
-
Keep an eye on any delivery-related tasks
-
Review multiple active jobs regularly so nothing gets stuck
If the request does not seem updated after acceptance
If a customer says they accepted the quote but the request still looks unchanged:
-
Refresh the page
-
Reopen the request details
-
Check again after a short wait
-
Review whether payment or another step is still pending
