What is a quote?

The quote resource facilitates the booking of a task by determining the eligibility of an order and its address for each task and delivery type. A quote is composed of a list of rates.

A rate corresponds to a specific task and delivery type. This mapping is represented by a code e.g QUIV_DEL_IM is a rate for an Immediate Delivery, whereas QUIV_RET is a rate for a Return. Each rate is evaluated individually and as such a quote may only successfully evaluate a subset of the rates. A rate is ineligible if it has an error. A rate is eligible if it has a price, description and window.

A quote is deemed to be stale if any of the aforementioned details change or a reasonable amount of time has passed (typically 2 minutes, we can work together to determine a more applicable value for a reasonable amount of time). If a quote is stale, a new quote must be created to ensure the order is still eligible with Quiver.
