Move Quote Items to Cart Magento 2 — Cart2Quote

Enable Move to Cart from Quote Magento 2

The move quote items to cart Magento 2 feature in Cart2Quote gives customers a flexible exit from the quotation workflow. When active, a “Move Quote Items to Shopping Cart” button appears on the quote request page. A “Move Items to Shopping Cart” option also appears in the mini quote cart dropdown in the header. Both transfer all quote items into the standard shopping cart in one click.

How Move Quote Items to Cart Works in Magento 2

When a customer clicks either button, Cart2Quote transfers all items from the quote cart into the standard Magento shopping cart. It preserves quantities and product options exactly as configured in the quote. The customer then lands on the cart page and can proceed to checkout at catalog prices straight away.

Cart2Quote does not delete the original quote request. Therefore, if the customer changes their mind and wants to continue the negotiation, they can return to My Quotes and pick up where they left off. As a result, the feature works as a flexible switching mechanism rather than a one-way conversion.

Why Offering a Route From Quote to Cart Increases Flexibility

B2B customers often start a quote request out of habit or because they expect to negotiate. They may then decide — after reviewing the catalog price — that it is already acceptable. Without a route back to the cart, those customers face a frustrating situation. They are stuck in the quote workflow with no easy way to simply buy.

For example, a customer submits a quote for 10 units of a product and receives a proposal showing a 5% discount. After reflection, they decide the saving is too small to wait for. They would rather complete the purchase immediately at catalog price. With the move to cart button, they transfer the items back in seconds and check out straight away. Consequently, you retain the sale and the customer avoids frustration. In addition, the original quote stays intact in case they want to revisit the negotiation later.

When to Use This Feature

This setting suits stores where catalog pricing is competitive enough that some customers choose to buy at list price after reviewing a proposal. It also works well for stores with a mixed customer base of price-sensitive negotiators and convenience-driven buyers who want the fastest path to purchase.

Combine this with Enable Move to Quote to give customers complete flexibility in both directions — from cart to quote and from quote back to cart.

Summary

The move quote items to cart feature in Magento 2 ensures customers always have a direct path to purchase, even when they are in the middle of a quote request. Because Cart2Quote preserves all quantities and product options during the transfer, customers lose nothing by switching to the cart. Enable this feature to reduce friction and capture sales from customers who start a quote but decide to buy at catalog price.
