Allow customer to attach files to estimates

[customdog]

Hi all,

I've tried to find the answer to this, so apologies if I overlooked it.

I've started creating an estimate form and I see that I (the seller) can attach files to it. What I don't see is if the customer can attach files, specifically image files, to the estimate.

Thanks in advance.

They can only add a note if changes are needed. No mention of being able to attach files by the customer in the invoices help:

A workaround would be the customer uploading images or docs to an image/doc host site and include the links in the note.

After you send an estimate

When you send an estimate through PayPal, your customer will receive an email notifying them of the estimate and allowing them to view the estimate details. The customer will be able to accept the estimate or request changes.

When a customer accepts an estimate, you’ll receive an email notifying you. After they accept the estimate, you’ll be prompted to convert the estimate into an invoice.

If your customer requests changes, you’ll receive an email notification. Your customer will be able to include a note regarding these changes. When you update the estimate, your customer will receive an email notification asking them to review and accept your changes.

If you update the details on an estimate after a customer has accepted it, the estimate status will revert back to “Sent.” This ensures your customer knows the estimate has been updated and accepts your changes.

If needed, you can always cancel your estimate. When you cancel an estimate, your customer will receive an email notifying them of the cancellation.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll probably follow your suggestion to direct them to upload to a linked destination.
