A template in Qwoty is a reusable sales funnel configuration that defines which products you offer, at what prices, with what payment terms, and what contract applies. Templates eliminate repetitive setup and ensure consistency across your sales process. Think of a template as a blueprint for creating quotes. Instead of manually selecting catalogs, pricebooks, and contract terms every time, you configure a template once and apply it to multiple quotes.Documentation Index

What a template includes
Every template combines four core elements:- Catalog: the group of products available to sell (e.g., “France Catalog” or “Enterprise Products”)
- Pricebook: the price list applied to the catalog, often tailored to customer segments or regions
- Payment Terms: the billing rules, payment schedules, and terms that apply to quotes created from this template
- Contract Model: the contract template with dynamic variables that populate automatically when a quote is accepted
Templates don’t store customer data or quote-specific details. They only define the structure and rules for creating quotes.
How templates work
When you create a quote, you select a template. Qwoty applies the template’s catalog, pricebook, payment terms, and contract model to the quote automatically. This ensures every quote follows your configured sales process.When to use templates
Templates are most useful when you have:- Different product catalogs for different regions, industries, or customer segments
- Multiple pricing strategies such as standard, premium, or partner pricing
- Varied payment terms like net-30 for enterprise customers and upfront payment for SMBs
- Custom contracts that differ by product line or customer type

Common questions
Can I change a template after creating quotes from it?
Can I change a template after creating quotes from it?
Yes. Changes to a template only affect new quotes created after the update. Existing quotes remain unchanged.
Do I need a different template for each customer?
Do I need a different template for each customer?
No. Templates are designed for reuse across multiple customers with similar needs. Use customer segments or regions to determine template structure, not individual customers.
What happens if I delete a template?
What happens if I delete a template?
You cannot delete a template that has active quotes. Archive the template instead to prevent new quotes while preserving historical data.
Can a quote use multiple templates?
Can a quote use multiple templates?
No. Each quote is created from a single template. If you need to combine products from different catalogs, configure a template with a merged catalog or create separate quotes.
