- Accepted legacy quotes don't create contracts.
The contract record includes key contract details, such as contact and company information, visibility into committed revenue, and associations to other records. Learn what you can view on a contract.
Before creating a contract, keep the following details in mind:
-
If a line item is automatically renewed until canceled, a contract end date isn’t set.
-
If all line items have a fixed term, the end date will be set to the latest line item’s end date.
-
If the contract only has one-time line items, a contract end date isn’t set.
Please note: if you're not enrolled in the Connected CPQ, Billing, and Payments beta, payment collection remains tied to the existing quote or standalone invoice experience. If you're enrolled in the beta, contracts are used to manage ongoing billing, invoice creation, and payment collection. Learn more about the Connected CPQ, Billing, and Payments beta process.
To create a contract:
- Create and build the quote.
- Share the quote.
- After the quote is accepted or signed, a contract will automatically be created and associated with the quote, along with the deal, contact, and company associated with the quote.
- To view the contract:
- In your HubSpot account, click More, then navigate to Commerce > Quotes. If More doesn't appear in your account, navigate to Commerce > Quotes directly.
- Hover over the quote, then click Preview.
- In the right panel, scroll to the Contracts card and click the contract name. If the Contracts card isn't appearing by default, you can manually add the card to your HubSpot record.
- Contracts can also be viewed on the contract index page.
