How to submit an offer (RFQ)
Step by step: accept the request, price the line items, set your terms, and send your offer to the buyer.
How to update your offer after sending it
While the request is still open and before the deadline, you can revise your prices or terms to improve your position.
How to ask the buyer a question
Unclear on a spec, quantity, or term? Ask the buyer before you price — so your offer lands accurate.
How to respond to messages from the buyer
Beyond public questions, a buyer may message you privately — how to reply from the Chat tab on the request.
