All instant quote settings can be overwritten at the product level, meaning you can set all of the settings covered above differently for each of your selected products

Whether customizing for products in the ROOFLE Catalog or for your custom products in My Catalog, the process is the same

Go to Products, click Customize on the product you'd like to adjust instant quote settings for
