# Add the Instant Quote Widget to Your Website
> Get your Hive Inspect quote widget link, embed code or QR code so clients see an instant inspection price, then continue to book. What clients see and which settings apply.
In the dashboard: Business Tools → Widget Integration → Quote Widget
The quote widget gives clients an instant price for their inspection. They enter the property, pick a service and add-ons, and see an **Estimated Total**. When they're ready, **Ready to Schedule?** takes them into your [scheduling widget](/how-tos/scheduling-widget) with everything they entered already filled in.
**A quote on its own isn't saved, and you aren't told about it.** The quote widget doesn't ask for the client's name or email, so nothing appears in Hive when someone only checks a price. You hear about the client once they continue to book and get past the property step of the scheduling widget. To follow up on quotes, use your [scheduling widget](/how-tos/scheduling-widget) or send quotes from the dashboard.
## Quote widget or scheduling widget?
| | Quote widget | Scheduling widget |
| - | - | - |
| Starts with | The property | The client's contact details |
| Shows prices | Always | Only if **Show Pricing on Online Scheduler** is on |
| Creates an inspection | No, only once the client continues and books | Yes |
| Tells you | No | Yes, when the client passes the property step and when they pick a time |
| Best for | Clients shopping on price | Clients ready to book |
You can use both. A common setup is a **Get a Quote** button and a **Book Now** button on your website.
## Get your quote link or embed code
Click **Business Tools** in the left menu, then the **Widget Integration** card.
The **Quote Widget** card is on the right of the **Website Widget Integration** page.
| What you want | Use | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| A link for emails, texts, social media or a **Get a Quote** button | **Copy Link** under the QR code | The plain link. It opens the quote widget as a full page. |
| The quote form inside a page of your website | The copy button on **Embed Code** | Paste it where the form should appear. |
| A website builder that asks for a URL to embed | The copy button next to **Widget URL** | The same link with `?iframe=1` on the end. |
| Flyers, yard signs or business cards | **Download QR** | Saves a 1024 × 1024 PNG that opens the plain link. |
Your quote link looks like `https://dashboard.hiveinspect.com/embed/quote/` followed by your organization ID. It never changes, and it always shows your current services and prices.
Click **Preview Quote Widget** to open it in a new tab. Trying out prices is safe: nothing is saved until you continue into the scheduling widget.
## Add the quote widget to your website
Paste the **Embed Code** into an HTML, embed or custom code block, the same way as the [scheduling widget](/how-tos/scheduling-widget#add-the-widget-to-your-website).
```html theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
```
**Make the frame taller.** When a client clicks **Ready to Schedule?**, the scheduling widget opens inside the same frame. It's longer than the quote form, so in a 900-pixel frame the client has to scroll inside it. Change `height:900px` to `height:1100px`, the same as the scheduling widget.
## What your clients see
The company panel on the right shows your company name, logo, phone and website, then the property and a **Pricing** summary as the client goes. On a phone it moves behind a **View Quote Summary** button.
* The client starts typing the address and picks it from the suggestions, or clicks **Can't find your address? Enter it manually**.
* Picking a suggested address fills in property type, square footage, year built, bedrooms and bathrooms, if [Auto-fetch Property Info](/how-tos/scheduling-widget#auto-fetch-property-info) is on. The client can change them.
* **Property Type**, **Square Footage** and **Year Built** are required, because your price modifiers use them.
* **Additional Information** shows your custom fields with **Show on online scheduler** on. Answers here can change the price through [custom field modifiers](/how-tos/custom-field-modifiers).
* If no inspector covers the address, the client sees **Address is outside our coverage area** and can't continue. See [Set inspector service areas](/how-tos/smart-scheduling).
* The client picks one service. Each price already includes your [price modifiers](/how-tos/price-modifiers) for this property. In the example, the base price is \$425 and a square footage modifier adds \$75 for 2,150 sq ft.
* Services with **Hidden on scheduler** turned on aren't listed.
* If the service has no add-ons to offer, this is the last step.
* The client ticks any add-ons. Add-ons with **Hide from Scheduler** turned on aren't listed.
* **Have a discount code?** appears when you have a [discount code](/business-tools/discount-codes) that could apply to the chosen service. Choosing a different service removes the code.
* The **Pricing** summary lists the service, each add-on, any discount and the **Estimated Total**, each rounded to the whole dollar.
The client clicks **Ready to Schedule?** to book. Your scheduling widget opens with the address, property details, service, add-ons, discount code and custom field answers already filled in.
The client starts at the contact step, then clicks through the other steps with their answers already in place, and picks a date and time. From here everything works as described in [What your clients see](/how-tos/scheduling-widget#what-your-clients-see) and [What happens after a client books](/how-tos/scheduling-widget#what-happens-after-a-client-books).
## How the quote price is worked out
The quote uses the same prices and rules as your scheduling widget:
* **Service price:** the base price plus the service's [price modifiers](/how-tos/price-modifiers) for square footage, year built, distance, foundation and custom field answers. Only a foundation modifier gets its own line in the summary. The others are folded into the service price.
* **Add-ons:** each add-on's price, including its own modifiers.
* **Discount code:** taken off if it applies to what the client picked.
**What the quote leaves out:**
* **Sales tax.** See [Sales tax](/how-tos/taxes).
* **Modifiers that depend on the date or time**, like weekend or after-hours fees. The client hasn't picked a time yet.
So the price on the client's invoice can be higher than the quote. If you add tax or use date or time modifiers, mention it on your website next to the widget, for example: "Prices before tax."
## Settings that apply to the quote widget
The quote widget has no settings page of its own. It uses your services and a few of the settings in **Org Settings → Scheduling**. See [Open the Scheduling settings](/how-tos/scheduling-widget#open-the-scheduling-settings) for how to change them.
| Setting | Applies to the quote widget? |
| - | - |
| **Auto-fetch Property Info** | Yes. When it's off, clients type the property details themselves. |
| **Show Pricing on Online Scheduler** | **No.** The quote widget always shows prices. If it's off, the client sees prices in the quote, but the scheduling widget hides them once they click **Ready to Schedule?** |
| **Timezone**, **Calendar Engine**, **Scheduling Restriction**, **Buffer Between Inspections**, the calendar event settings | Not in the quote. They apply once the client continues to book and picks a time. |
| **Let Clients Look Themselves Up on Online Scheduler** | No. The quote doesn't ask for contact details. It applies in the scheduling widget. |
| **Scheduler Confirmation Message** | Only on the **Thank You!** page after the client books. |
| **Services & Fees**: prices, modifiers, **Hidden on scheduler**, **Hide from Scheduler** | Yes. |
| **Custom Fields** with **Show on online scheduler** | Yes, shown in step 1. **Required answer on online scheduler** makes them required. |
| **Discount Codes** | Yes. |
| Each inspector's **Maximum Travel Distance (miles)** | Yes. Addresses no inspector covers can't get a quote. |
## Common questions
**Where do I see the quotes clients asked for?** You don't. A quote on its own isn't saved. You see the client once they click **Ready to Schedule?** and get past the property step of the scheduling widget. Then you get a **New Booking Started** email and text.
**The client's invoice is higher than the quote.** The quote leaves out sales tax and date or time modifiers. See [How the quote price is worked out](#how-the-quote-price-is-worked-out).
**A service shows \$0.** It has no base price. Set one in **Business Tools → Services & Fees**, or turn on **Hidden on scheduler** for it.
**Step 2 has no services to pick.** Every service is set to **Hidden on scheduler**, or you haven't added any yet. Add or unhide a service in **Business Tools → Services & Fees**.
**A client typed the address by hand and the price is lower than expected.** Distance modifiers need the address picked from the suggestions. Ask the client to pick their address from the list.
**The quote widget says "Online Quoting Temporarily Unavailable".** Your account can't take new inspections right now, usually because the free trial reports are used up or the subscription has ended. See [I used up my free trial reports](/faq/getting-started#more-free-trial-reports).
## Where to go next
* [Add the online scheduling widget](/how-tos/scheduling-widget): the booking form, the date and time page and every scheduling setting.
* [Price modifiers](/how-tos/price-modifiers): change prices by size, age, distance and more.
* [Add-on services](/how-tos/add-on-services): what clients can add to a service.
* [Discount codes](/business-tools/discount-codes): create codes clients can enter.
