Create a Quote for New Business
Use Chargebee CPQ in Salesforce to create subscription quotes for new customers directly from a Salesforce Opportunity. This process supports quoting for subscription plans, one-time fees, or a combination of both.
Prerequisites
- The Salesforce Opportunity must be linked to a valid Account.
- The Account must be mapped to a Chargebee customer. If not, Chargebee automatically creates a customer during quote creation.

Navigate to the Salesforce Opportunity screen.
-
Open the relevant Opportunity record in Salesforce. Click Create Quote.

Select the Quote Type and click Proceed.
- New Sale - Create a quote for a new subscription.
- Amendment - Create a quote to modify an existing subscription already in Chargebee.
- Renewal - Create a quote for changes to be made when an existing subscription renews.
- One-Time Charge - Create a quote without a recurring element.

Fill in the necessary quote details:
