We have a Custom order enquiry form. The main thing we want to be able to do is to be able to create an order/quote in the cart for the customer (I played with the Demo version and saw that it could be done and sent via email).

Or once in the back end via the Cart>create order options and the email is sent is the customer then able to pay as normal?

Cheers")* Hello, HikaShop is an e-commerce system but with some configuration, you can achieve something close to what you want to do. You can see to create "quote" orders with a special order status (for example, for "free" orders). Then, once you have edit the quote to fill the prices etc, you can change the order status to make it available to final payment : [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...nfig.html#main\_order](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/54-hikashop-config.html#main_order) Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
