Why an interactive quote books more weddings

A static PDF asks a couple to read, decide, and email you back — three chances to go quiet. An interactive quote lets them build their own package, see the price settle in real time, and say yes on the spot. The deposit turns that yes into a booked date before the excitement fades.

How to send a wedding photography quote

Set up your collections and add-ons once. Pick what a couple can choose from, set your deposit (a fixed amount or a percentage), and send one link. They open it on their phone, tap through the options, accept, and pay the deposit — straight into your own Stripe account. You're notified the moment they reserve. For the full step-by-step, read our guide on how to send a wedding photography quote.

Questions

Is this quote maker really free?

Yes — building and sending interactive quotes is free. Collecting the deposit online (and removing the small quolby credit) is Pro, at €15/month.

How much deposit should I take?

Most wedding photographers take 20–50% of the package as a non-refundable deposit to hold the date. You set the exact amount or percentage on each quote.

Where does the deposit go?

Straight to your own Stripe account. quolby never touches it and takes no cut — only Stripe's standard processing fee applies.

FAQ

How do I make an interactive wedding photography quote?

Set up your collections and add-ons once, then let couples build their own package instead of reading a flat PDF. They tap options and watch the total and deposit update live, then accept and pay to hold the date. You can try the builder at the top of this page, or open the no-signup version at our free quote builder to shape real packages before you send a single branded link.

How is an interactive quote better than a PDF?

A PDF asks a couple to read, decide, and email you back — three moments to go quiet. An interactive quote lets them choose packages, see the price settle in real time, and say yes on the spot, then pay a deposit that turns that yes into a booked date. It also updates the moment you change pricing, so there is no attachment to resend. See our guide on how to send a wedding photography quote.

Where does the deposit go when a couple pays?

Straight into your own Stripe account, as a direct charge. quolby takes a 0% platform fee and is never in the money flow — there is no platform balance between you and your funds. Stripe's own card processing fee (around 2.9%) still applies through your account, the same as any Stripe payment. You keep control of refunds and payouts, and the deposit is yours from the second it lands.

Do I need HoneyBook or another CRM to send quotes?

No. quolby is one focused tool: a single branded link that carries the quote, an e-signed contract, and the deposit, with no all-in-one suite to learn or migrate into. If you already pay for a CRM just to send proposals and take deposits, compare the two on our HoneyBook alternative for wedding photographers page. You can also keep your current tools and use quolby only for the quote-and-deposit step.

Does the quote work on a couple's phone?

Yes. The quote is a web page, so couples open your link on any phone, tablet, or laptop with no app or account to create. They tap through collections and add-ons, a sticky bar keeps the running total and deposit in view as they scroll, and they can accept and pay the deposit in the same flow. Most couples decide on their phone, which is exactly where you want the yes to happen.

Is the quote maker free, and what does it cost?

Building and sending interactive quotes is free to start. Pro is €15/month and unlocks collecting the deposit online and removing the small quolby credit. There is no platform fee on the deposit itself — quolby takes 0% and stays out of the money flow — though Stripe's standard card fee (around 2.9%) applies through your own account. You can start free and upgrade to Pro only when you are ready to collect deposits online.
