Enable public negotiable quotes

This guide explains how to enable public negotiable quotes in Front-Commerce, allowing anyone to request and view quotes without authentication.

Overview

The negotiable quotes feature allows customers to request custom quotes for products. By default, negotiable quotes are only accessible to the authenticated user who created them, via the /user/negotiable-quotes route.

When public negotiable quotes are enabled:

• Anyone can request a quote via the /quote route (without logging in)
• Anyone can view quotes via the /negotiable-quotes/:id URL — including non-logged-in visitors and logged-in users who didn't request the quote

This behavior is disabled by default and must be explicitly activated.

Enable the feature

Set the following environment variable to enable public negotiable quotes:

.env

FRONT_COMMERCE_GEZY_QUOTE_ENABLE_PUBLIC=true

note

The negotiable quotes feature itself (negotiableQuotes.enabled) is automatically enabled based on the gezy_modules_devis configuration from your Gezy instance (Configuration > Site e-commerce > Configurer le module Devis > Activer le module devis sur ce eCommerce). You only need to set this environment variable to enable the public access.

What changes when enabled?

Request a quote for visitors: the /quote route becomes available, allowing anyone to request a quote without logging in.

Public quote viewing: quotes can be viewed by anyone via the /negotiable-quotes/:id URL — this includes non-logged-in visitors as well as logged-in users who didn't request the quote.

When disabled, request a quote and viewing are restricted to authenticated users through the /user/negotiable-quotes route, and only the quote requester can access their quotes.
