Request a quote feature

Capability to request a quote of the configuration instead of / in addition to being able to add it to the cart. In some cases our customers would like to allow the users to request a quote.
Initial considerations to keep in mind:
- Need a new button in the Planner UI
- Need a new API endpoint in the Embed API
- How often is the quote feature a standard feature in e-commerce platforms?
- is our current SalesData enough in this case?
- How much customisation is foreseen case per case? For example, how do we decide:
- Is the quote feature shown or not?
- For which users?
- How do we get the user information?
- Are both Cart and Quote features shown? And when?
- How to adapt to non-standard Quotation features in e-commerce platforms?

This kind of request comes sometimes from prospects, but the difficulty is that the process of quote making is different from company to company and it does not seem feasible to make this into product, but rather it needs to be done as customization per project

This can be done on eCommerce platform side as a replacement of addtocart functionality. Basically the contents of addtocart fed to a form that resides on the ecommerce platform side
