Guest Quote Request Magento 2

The guest quote request Magento 2 feature in Cart2Quote allows store visitors to submit a quote request without creating a Magento account first. When active, the quote submission form accepts guest submissions — collecting contact details directly on the form rather than pulling them from a customer account. As a result, you capture leads from every visitor, not just registered customers.

Why Allowing Guest Quote Requests Captures More B2B Leads

Requiring account creation before quoting removes a significant number of potential leads from your pipeline. Many B2B buyers visit a store for the first time with a specific purchasing need. They want to submit a quote quickly and evaluate the response before committing to a supplier relationship. Asking them to create an account first adds friction at exactly the wrong moment.

For example, a procurement officer visits your store after finding it through a search. They want pricing on 200 units of a product before deciding whether to pursue the relationship further. Without guest quoting, they face an account creation step before they can even ask for a price. With the guest quote request feature, however, they fill in their details and submit in under a minute. Consequently, you capture the lead and start the conversation immediately. In addition, Cart2Quote can convert them to a registered customer automatically after submission.

Benefits of Guest Quote Request in Magento 2

• Captures leads from all visitors — no account required to submit a quote request
• Reduces submission friction — guests skip the account creation step entirely
• Automatic customer account creation — convert guests to registered customers after submission
• Full contact data collection — the form captures all necessary details directly
• More quote requests, bigger pipeline — every visitor becomes a potential lead

Guest Quote Request vs Replace Quote Button for Guests

These two settings work differently and serve different purposes. Understanding the distinction helps you choose the right approach for your store.

Use Allow Guest Request when you want maximum lead capture with minimum friction. Use Replace Quote Button for Guests when account-linked records are essential for your sales process. You can also combine both strategically — allow guest requests through a dedicated landing page while showing a login prompt on standard product pages.

• Allow Guest Request — guests see the full quote submission form and can submit without an account
• Replace Quote Button for Guests — guests see a login prompt instead of the quote button, encouraging them to register before submitting

When to Use This Feature

This feature suits stores that prioritise lead volume over lead qualification at the initial submission stage. It works particularly well for new stores building their customer base, or for businesses running marketing campaigns that drive cold traffic to quote landing pages. Furthermore, it pairs well with a CRM integration that can qualify and segment incoming leads after submission.

Combine this with Replace Quote Button for Guests and Custom Quote Request Form to build a complete guest submission experience tailored to your store.

Summary

The guest quote request feature in Magento 2 removes the account creation barrier from the quote submission process and opens your pipeline to every visitor. Because Cart2Quote collects contact details directly on the form, you capture complete lead information without requiring registration. Enable this feature to maximise lead volume and let Cart2Quote convert guest submissions into registered customers automatically.
