Create and use customized quote templates

Last updated: March 12, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans

Depending on your HubSpot subscription, you can customize quote templates as follows:

  • In Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise accounts, users with Super admin permissions can create customized quote templates that can then be used when creating quotes. With editable modules, you can modify the template’s design and content to match your business needs.
  • Using HubSpot's free or Sales Hub Starter tools, you can edit the theme settings applied to the default quote templates included in your account, but cannot create customized quote templates.

Please note: in all HubSpot subscription plans, you can use the design manager to create and edit quote templates. However, a Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription is required to use the templates for creating quotes. Learn more about developing a custom CMS quotes theme in HubSpot's developer documentation.

Create a customized quote template (Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise only)

HubSpot provides a set of three default quote templates that you can use as-is, or create new templates from. When you create a customized quote template, it will be saved as a new template, leaving the default template in its original state.

To create a new customized quote template:

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Objects > Quotes.
  • Click the Quote templates tab.
  • Click Customize quote template.
  • Hover over the template you want to start with, then click Choose.

  • At the top, click the edit pencil icon and enter a name for the quote template.
  • To edit the modules content, in the left panel, click a module and edit the module contents.

Please note: when using personalization tokens in a quote, HubSpot will not render them dynamically. Instead, the token is rendered at the time of publishing the quote, and will not update upon signing. For this reason, you should not use personalization tokens for properties that are updated after a quote is published, including: Payment status, Payment date, Esign date, and Esign completed signatures.

  • To edit the line items table, click the Line items table module:
    • To rearrange the order of the line items properties, drag and drop the properties to another position.
    • If you don't want the subtotals, fees, or totals to appear on the quote, clear the checkboxes next to the value.

  • Continue to navigate the editable modules in the left panel, making changes to the images, text, and headings included in the quote template. On the right, access a preview of your changes.

Please note: when editing the Comments or Terms module, do not delete the Terms or Comments to buyers tokens that appear in these modules. If the tokens are deleted, any text that your users include in these modules in the quote editor will not populate on the published quote.

  • Click the Settings tab.
  • To set a default domain for the quote template, click the Domain dropdown menu.
  • To select a default language for module titles and labels in the template, click the Language dropdown menu. Keep in mind that any customized content you've already included in the template will be removed when changing the language. In the dialog box, click Remove content.

Please note: content added to the quote template in a rich text module will not be automatically translated. Sample data will also not translate in the template preview.

  • Depending on the language you select, you can also set the default locale to format dates and addresses in. Click the Locale dropdown menu and select a locale.

    • To edit the global colors used in the quote theme, click to expand the Global colors section. You can also edit the button colors or banner text colors by clicking to expand the Button settings or Banner settings section. Set your color by entering a hexadecimal value, or by clicking the color picker
    • To edit the global font used in the quote theme, click to expand the Global fonts section, then click the dropdown menus to select a font. 
  • To edit the template in the design manager, click Edit CMS template.
  • When you're done customizing your quote template, click Save.

Your team can now select the customized quote template when creating a quote. After publishing your quote, learn how to share your quote with your contacts.

Manage quote templates

In your quote template settings you can manage your existing default and customized quote templates, including cloning, deleting, and creating new quotes from a template.

If you’re using HubSpot's free or Sales Hub Starter tools, you can edit the theme settings of the default quote templates included in your account. Learn more about your subscription limits in HubSpot’s Product & Services catalog.

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Objects > Quotes.
  • Click the Quote templates tab.

In the Default quote templates section, you can manage the three templates that come with your account. To view template options, hover over the default template, then click the Actions dropdown menu and select an option:

  • Preview: view what a quote created from the template would look like.
  • Edit theme: edit the template's theme. The default templates use the same theme, so any changes made will impact all three templates.
  • Use template: create a new quote from the template.
  • Hide in quotes: prevent the template from appearing as an option when creating a new quote. You can later switch this back by selecting Show in templates in the dropdown menu.
