Building an order manually, product by product, is a slow process that delays the sale and increases the chance of errors in the final amount. Jestor solves this with a **cart** that generates an order or quote in seconds, from customers and products already registered.

## What is cart-based order generation, and why does it exist?

Cart-based generation is the flow where selecting an already-registered customer and product **automatically triggers** the creation of the order or quote record, with no field-by-field filling.

| Entry route                | How it works                                  | Best for                       |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Through the cart**       | Select customer and product, close in seconds | Quick sale, new order          |
| **Directly in the Kanban** | Adds items to an already-existing card        | Adding to an order in progress |

## How to generate orders and quotes using the cart in Jestor

- **Customer already registered:** the cart reuses the existing record, no re-typing.
- **Closes in seconds:** select the product or service, order generated.
- **Same app for quotes:** the same speed applies even without an online store.
- **Add directly in the Kanban:** add to an existing order without reopening the cart.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** register your customers and products once — from there, every new order is generated with just a selection in the cart.

## Why choose Jestor for order generation?

The key differentiator is reducing **typing errors and closing time** on recurring sales, with the same app covering both orders and quotes.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does the cart only work for online stores?** No, the same app can be used to generate orders and quotes for internal sales.

**How do I add items directly in the Kanban, without opening the cart?** Just add the items directly to the already-existing card.

**Does the customer need to be registered before generating the order?** Yes, the cart uses already-registered customers to speed up generation.
