How Admin and Seller Manage Quote Requests by Customers

Magento handles Products that are available on the website with their fixed price and quantity, Customers visit the website and purchase the Products. There may be a case where customers want to purchase bulk products from a website but with that, they would want reduced price as they are buying in bulk or there could be a case where the product is not available on the website but Admin or seller deals with that type of products and that could be available on request. The Solution to this is Purpletree Request a Quote for Magento 2.
