"The bot does not quote the lines of my accepted quote." "The AI announces a different price from the signed quote." "The chatbot cannot find the link to convert into an order." Three failures where a badly calibrated quote conversion bot blocks quote-to-order.
An e-commerce quote conversion AI chatbot does not replace QUOTE2ORD agents (#985). It reads QUOTE2ORD-MAP, quotes quote_lines_copy convert_url, quote_total_ref and handoffs price mismatch ops to humans.
This guide #986 covers intents bot_quote2ord_*, flow QUOTE2ORDBOT Q2OB-1 to Q2OB-8 and KPI quote2ord_bot. Bot pair of the QUOTE2ORD playbook (#985). Usecase: accepted quote → tier 1 widget order.
Summary
Why botify the conversion of quotes to orders?
"I accepted quote #Q, where is my order?", "the checkout price does not match", and "how do I use the quote link?" arrive post-B2B portal acceptance. A calibrated bot looks up QUOTE2ORD-MAP, cites quote_lines_copy convert_url without improvising prices or lines off-record.
What the tier 1 bot resolves
Cite quote lines: quote_lines_copy map
Guide conversion: convert_url checkout steps
Cite quote price: quote_total_ref map + live delta
Payment terms: payment_terms_ref po_required map
Resend link: convert_url map cite
Lite conversion status: quote_status converted_at map
The bot intercepts bot_quote2ord_lines_cite before made-up lines or reroutes RFQbot #176 if the quote is not yet issued.
DTC packaging pro example
Packaging brand 41% quote revenue, 8 quote2ord_ tickets/month. Bot syncs QUOTE2ORD-MAP Day 0 acceptance. quote2ord_bot_deflect +37%, quote2ord_bot_price_invent_violation 0 in 7 weeks.
QUOTE2ORDBOT #986 vs QUOTE2ORD #985, RFQbot #176, B2BSEGbot #810, CUSTOMQUOTE #235
Seven quote bot contents, seven distinct roles.

Which bot_quote2ord_* intents should be configured?
Eight quote conversion intents mapped to quote2ord_* typologies #985.
Eight bot_quote2ord intents
bot_quote2ord_quote_detect : detect quote_ref #Q portal email cited
bot_quote2ord_lines_cite : quote_lines_copy map grounded
bot_quote2ord_convert_guide : checkout steps convert_url guidance

bot_quote2ord_handoff, persistent quote2ord_price_mismatch, quote2ord_ops_flag → agents #985 payload quote2ord_id.
How should I consume QUOTE2ORD-MAP #985?
The bot reads QUOTE2ORD-MAP #985: quote2ord_id, quote_ref, order_ref, quote_status, converted_at, quote_total_ref, order_total_ref, quote_lines_copy, convert_url, convert_ttl_days, payment_terms_ref, po_required, line_match_policy_copy, agent_handoff_url.
