What Is the Difference Between a Quote, Invoice, and Contract?

Learn the difference between a Quote, Invoice, and Contract in Goodshuffle Pro, and when each template is used.

Written by Sierra Burton

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

In Goodshuffle Pro, when you send a project to your client, the system automatically selects a template based on the current project status.

Here's how it works:


🟡 "Send Quote" – For New Projects

Use this when you're sending the initial pricing proposal to a client.

  • Triggered when the project status is New (yellow) or Quote Sent (blue).

  • The Quote template shows itemized pricing but does not yet require a signature.


🟢 "Send Invoice" – For Signed Projects

Use this to remind clients to pay for a signed project without requiring another signature.

  • Triggered when the project status is Contract Signed (green).

  • The Invoice template is typically used for payment follow-ups.

Looking for the signed Contract document? The template names above control what you send to a client (for signature or payment). To view or print the signed Contract PDF (titled "Contract") after a project is signed, open the project's Files tab and select the most recent signed version. See How Can I View and Print a Copy of an Electronically Signed Contract? and Where Can I Find a Signed Version of a Contract?


🔴 "Send Contract" – For Updated Signed Projects

Use this when a signed project has changes and needs a new signature.

  • Triggered when the project status is Unsigned Changes (red).

  • The Contract template will require the client to sign again.
