### How to Set up Your Quoter Integration

Connecting Quoter with Alternative Payments is quick and seamless, allowing you to maintain your existing workflows while enhancing payment flexibility for your customers. Follow these steps to get started:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Prerequisite:** The customer must already have an account in Alternative Payments for the payment link to work.
{% endhint %}

\#### **1.** Copy your Alternative Payments billing link**.**

* Login to your Alternative Payments dashboard, [www.alternativepayments.io](https://www.alternativepayments.io/)
* Navigate to Accounts Receivable - Invoices from the side menu
* Click on the billing link at the top of the screen, under the Invoices header

#### **2.** Confirm your Payment Settings in Quoter.

* Navigate to Templates > Edit Template > Acceptance & Payments
* Ensure that Electronic Acceptance is Enabled

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Enabling Electronic Acceptance will prepopulate the "Accept Quote" button on the Quote, allowing you to adjust the payment settings.</p></div>

* Ensure that Payments are Disabled
* Ensure that Payment Required is Disabled

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>This will bypass the Payment Gateway and allow you to redirect customers to pay their quote through Alternative Payments.</p></div>

**3. Insert your Alternative Payments Billing Link into your Accepted Quotes.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you do not already have an Acceptance page and email confirmation once a quote is accepted, you will need to create one.
{% endhint %}

\* Go to Settings > Labels & Messages > Select the Emails tab.

* Edit your email confirmation for accepted quotes
* Insert the following text into your email:
  * "Please use this link to complete payment: \[billing link]/custom-invoice?amount=##RawQuoteUpfrontTotal##"

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="danger" class="hint hint-danger"><p>You must replace [billing link] with the link you copied from your Alternative Payments dashboard in Step 1.</p></div>

* Save your updates
* Edit your Acceptance screen and follow the same steps completed for the email confirmation

#### **4.** You’re all set! 🎉
