Why can't you create and send quotes in pipedrive?

Surely quotations is an integral part of most sales processes, so I can't fathom why this functionality doesn't exist, especially when invoicing does ( and is fully integrated into Xero accounting and works perfectly) and you have to rely on third party apps.  Presumably the same API that creates xero invoices can be used to create Xero Quotes....   +quotes +quotations

    Hi James!

    Pipedrive has an add-on called Smart-Docs which maybe could be a bit of help on this.

    Check it out here

    Hello. Is the possibility of creating quotes in deals still in discussion? I appreciate the ability to create invoices in PipeDrive, but am also interested in quotes.

    Good question, no straight answers 😂. Why is there no Quoting module??

    You can use smart docs for quotes in pipedrive. Id also check out Qwilr or Better proposals.

    This part is infuriating. Has anyone found a good solution? I'm having to do double entries - estimate in QBO and in Pipedrive as a deal. Makes no sense.

    I'm wondering if Pipedrive has had any thoughts on this. We have products and invoicing, surely adding quotes would fall in place now?

    @Matthew_S (Extraflow.io) Until it integrates with Xero, it is a no-starter. It would need to be able to create an invoice in Xero when the proposal is accepted.
