There are lots of variables available to you to help customize the quotes sent through B2B Ninja. This post breaks it down into subsections based on how the information through the template variables. You might be familiar with {{}} as it has become one of the most popular template substitution symbols also known as Handlebars or Mustache templates. Quote Ninja templates use a variation of this type of template syntax. To output a variable to the template, you have to wrap it with curly braces and with an equal to sign at the start of the variable, i.e. {{=store.address}}. The first delineation of every variable is the category that variable belongs to.
