A user is seeking a Shopify app that combines visual product customization with quote-based checkout functionality. The desired workflow includes:
Key Requirements:
Customers select a base art design and add customizations/upgrades
Each option displays images and pricing
“Add to quote” functionality instead of immediate purchase
Collection of customer details (name, delivery date, address, notes)
Quote submission without payment processing
Automated confirmation emails
Optional Zapier integration
Current Challenge:
Existing apps either offer visual bundle builders (but require payment) or quote request systems (without product images), but none combine both features.
Status:
One respondent suggested building a custom Shopify app to meet these specific requirements, as off-the-shelf solutions don’t adequately address the combination of rich visual customization and quote-based checkout. The discussion remains open with no definitive app recommendation identified.

Hi! I’m looking for an app that allows the user to select a base art design and then add a series of customizations and upgrades to the designs.
The user should see photos of and prices for each customization and/or upgrades and be able to ‘add to quote’ the ones they want.
The user should also put in their name, a date for delivery, an address and a text box for other information.
Once the user is ready to submit their quote request, they should be taken to a checkout that allows them to submit the quote request without entering payment.
Submission of the quote request issues the user with a confirmation email and (optional) also connects to Zapier.
I have found bundle builders used for filling gift boxes that show the user images of each option but still ask for payment at checkout, and I’ve found request a quote apps that don’t show images of each option but haven’t found one app that I can configure to suit all of the needs of this journey.
Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing the details of your project — your vision is clear, and it sounds like a very exciting customization journey for your customers!
From what you’ve described, it sounds like you need a flexible solution that allows users t0:
Select a base art design
Add visual customizations and upgrades with images and pricing
Use an “add to quote” feature instead of going through standard checkout
Submit key information like name, delivery date, address, and additional notes
Complete the request without payment
Receive an automated confirmation email
Optionally connect to Zapier for workflow automation
Most off-the-shelf apps fall short when it comes to combining both a rich visual experience and a true quote-based checkout process. But no worries — I’d be happy to help by building a custom Shopify app that perfectly fits your use case.
Also, if you’re ever looking to improve your same-day or local delivery process, I’d love to introduce you to my app – Dash Drop Delivery – built to help merchants streamline and manage local deliveries more effectively.
Feel free to explore the app and let me know if you have any questions. And if you’re interested in the custom quote solution, just say the word — I’d love to collaborate and help bring your vision to life.
