# What's the difference between a quote and an invoice?

Quotes allow you to send proposed terms and pricing to your customers to accept or e-sign. Typically, accepted quotes convert to invoices. Invoices will contain all of the same pricing and product information as the quote, but offer the option to pay. It's possible to display different information on a quote/invoice by setting up separate [templates](https://help.paycove.io/knowledge/help-articles#customizing-templates) for quotes and invoices in Paycove.
