Cart to PDF - Print carts and orders

What is Cart to PDF and why do you need it?

Cart to PDF is a PrestaShop module that allows you to easily generate a quote or proforma invoice document directly from the shopping cart. Instead of manually creating quotes for your customers, this tool automates the entire process: with a single click, your customer transforms the cart (including all products, discounts, taxes, and shipping) into a PDF ready to download or print. This is invaluable for B2B or B2C online stores where many customers require a formal quote before finalizing a purchase. With Cart to PDF, you meet that need instantly, without additional paperwork, saving time for both the merchant and the buyer. In short, it is the perfect solution to easily and automatically generate those proforma invoices and quotes without having to create them manually, one by one.

Key advantages of the module

• Saving time and administrative effort: Automate the creation of quotes in PDF (or Word), avoiding the need to draft them manually for each client. Your team can dedicate that time to more productive tasks instead of preparing quotations.
  
  
• Improved customer satisfaction: Your customers—even unregistered visitors—can instantly obtain a formal document with their cart details (products, quantities, prices, shipping, taxes, discounts, etc.), which is ideal when they need a quote prior to purchase. This provides them with a more convenient and professional shopping experience, increasing their trust in your store.
  
  
• Boost to conversions and B2B sales: By offering instant quotes, you don't lose potential sales. Many corporate clients require an internally approved budget before purchasing; with Cart to PDF, they can take a firm proposal and return later to complete the order. This seamless process facilitates more conversions from hesitant customers who might otherwise abandon the cart.
  
  
• Professional business image: The generated PDFs include your logo and store details in a professional quotation format. Presenting a well-structured quote that looks like a "proforma invoice" conveys reliability and trust. Your online store matches the level of traditional commercial service, strengthening your reputation with both large and small clients.
  
  
  
  

Real-world use cases for Cart to PDF

• ✨ Corporate client needs internal approval: Imagine a company that wants to buy from your store. They add several products to the cart but must obtain approval from their finance department before paying. With Cart to PDF, they can download an immediate proforma invoice with all purchase details and present it internally, speeding up the approval process and bringing you closer to the sale without delays.
  
  
• 🛍️ Hesitant customer comparing options: A private customer is interested in several items but hasn't decided yet. Thanks to your module, they save a PDF quote of their cart with detailed prices and shipping costs. This allows them to reflect or share the document with someone else (for example, for a gift) and return later with the security that there will be no surprises in the total. This increases the likelihood of them returning and finalizing the purchase in your store.
  
  
• 🤝 Personalized B2B service without overload: As an online store manager, you might receive many quote requests via email or phone and have to prepare them manually. Now, with Cart to PDF, your customers can self-generate their quotes from their cart, reducing repetitive inquiries. A freelancer, for example, can download their quote and take it to their consultant before buying. You save on administrative work and the customer gets an immediate response, with both gaining efficiency.
  
  
• 💡 Immediate alternative to "Request a Quote": Unlike other quotation modules that function as a formal request within the checkout process (with message exchanges and quote versions), Cart to PDF offers a fast track. For example, in wholesale sales, many modules force the customer to wait for a response from the seller; instead, our module provides them with an instant document. This doesn't prevent you from contacting the customer later for a personalized deal, but you have already given them what they need from the start without making them wait.

In conclusion, Cart to PDF stands out for its clarity, speed, and practical approach. It shows your customers that you understand their needs by offering instant quotes, while optimizing your internal processes at the same time. This module allows you to stand out from the competition by providing an agile and professional service that connects both with demanding business owners and any buyer who values price transparency.
