# Share Quote Form

The **Share Quote Form** feature allows customers to email their calculated quotes (in a `.pdf` format) to others. This feature requires the[ **PDF Entries**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/cost-calculator-settings/global-settings/pdf-entries) functionality to work. **Share Quote Form Feature** can be enabled from the [**Global Settings**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/cost-calculator-settings/global-settings) of the calculator:

## Sharing Quotes as a User

The **Share Quote Form** appears on the calculator page **after payment** if the [**Show Summary with Calculations after Adding Contact Info**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/calculator-settings/order-form#show-summary-with-calculations-after-adding-contact-info) option is **disabled**. If **enabled**, you can configure when the button should appear in the settings. Additionally, if the **Confirmation Page** is enabled, you need to activate the **Button to Share the Receipt** setting.

Now, let's review the flow from the client’s perspective:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Fill out the calculator field according to your needs and make the payment, choose the payment method and pay the price:

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Based on the status of the [**Confirmation Page**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/cost-calculator-settings/calculator-settings/confirmation-page), you will see the order confirmation message or [**Confirmation Page**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/cost-calculator-settings/calculator-settings/confirmation-page). In both cases there will be a **Send Quote** button:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="In Calculator" %}
**Confirmation Page** is <mark style="color:red;">**disabled.**</mark>

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}

Next, a pop-up modal form will appear. Fill it out and click the **Send** button:
