Frequently asked questions

Should photographers charge a retainer?

Yes, most photographers require a non-refundable retainer (often 25–50%) to hold the date. Use the deposit field so it is shown clearly.

What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is a fixed price for a clearly defined job; an estimate is an approximate price that can change. Use a quote when you know exactly what the job involves.

What should a quote include?

Your business details, the customer, a quote number and date, each item with price, taxes, the total, how long the quote is valid and your terms.
