Request for Quote - Incoterm Shipping Rates

Incoterms are a set of rules that define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts. The Marketplace Owner can enable Incoterms as the Shipping method for “Request For Quote” (RFQ), so Vendors can set a flat rate for the orders created from quotes. To enable the Incoterm for RFQ, complete the next steps.

How to enable Incoterms

  1. Login to Omnyfy Marketplace Backend as Admin (Marketplace Owner). On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores -> Configuration -> Omnyfy -> Request for Quote. Open the General Settings tab.




2. Set the “Enabled Incoterm Flat Rate” to Yes.


3. The “Incoterms Description” field can also be changed. This is the description that will appear to the vendor when selecting the Incoterm. To change “dap” for example, find the div and change the text:


4. When complete, click Save Config at the top.



Enable RFQ for a product

Incoterms can only be applied to Quotes received. Vendors will then be able to choose the Incoterm and set the flat rate price for that specific quote. To enable quotes to a product, you can check the product details for a section called Request for Quote.

​


Define the Incoterm and Shipping Price for a Quote

When customers send an RFQ, Vendors will receive an email and can go to the Back-end to check the Quote.

Customer reviews the quote and creates an order

After Vendor updates the quote, this will be available for customers to accept and pay.

When Customers or Vendors send comments, they will be available in the quote. They will be notified about new comments by email.


If customers do not pay at this moment and close the marketplace, the quote will still be available to pay in My Quotes.

Once the customer pays the quote, status will change to Ordered. The order will be available for Customers and Vendors.
