You’ll be able to compile a list of everything you need for a weekend of events, including total inventory, recommended bunches, and more! Not only will this maximize your profitability across multiple events, but it will simplify your ordering process. With the click of a button, your complete order can be exported. It’s just one more way Details Flowers Software helps you check off items on your to-do list!

RFQ SYSTEM

With our RFQ system, florists calculate entire orders in a snap and send them faster, straight from the design room. Instant communication with suppliers makes sure that florists can anticipate costs and suppliers can forecast needs. We work with the world's best suppliers to help source the most beautiful flowers.

And there's more to love! The best way to learn if we're a perfect fit is to try it out for yourself. See what florists are raving about! Click below to start your free 7-day trial.

How does Details help me with pricing my items and arrangements?

Details comes preset with costs that are pretty close to market average. Any changes to costs or markups that you make are automatically saved as part of your company history and can be updated at any time by your authorized users (unless Privacy Mode is enforced).

Details will even use the item costs to calculate your arrangement prices automatically!

While you are not required to update the cost information, we highly recommend that you take the time to do so! It's a small investment of your time that will yield a high reward - accurate pricing and increased profitability!

If you don't have the time right at the start of your subscription, don't worry! You can easily update cost information directly in the recipe itself at any time.

How do I move events through the Event List?

Events are organized into different stages of the Event Pipeline based on their status. Use the pipeline as an organizational tool to keep track of where you're at with each event!

To see which event statuses apply to which stages of the pipeline, click on the map icon in the top-left corner of the event list.

To change the status of an event, click on the status icon on the left side and select a new status for the event. Keep in mind that this will likely change the stage of the Event Pipeline that the event is in!

The Event List will always default to the 'Current' list, and you can navigate and move events to the various others. The 'Past Events' list will be automatically populated with events that have a past event date; the 'Did Not Book' and 'Archived' lists will be populated with events that are marked as such.

Do you integrate with other softwares?

Details members can link their Details account with Zapier to connect with hundreds of other apps. If you have a specific request, our support team can talk you through the process and help you out along the way.

Tell me more about your invoicing feature!

Details' invoicing is an amazing added feature that gives you the ability to offer your clients a convenient online payment option. No longer do they need to wait for a separate invoice to make payments!

Our invoicing is powered by Stripe, and once you sign up, you're able to start accepting payments right away!

Not sure if it's right for you? You're welcome to sign up and give it a try. Once signed up, you can use it as often or as little as you like.

What are the fees?

Stripe will remove 2.9% +.30 per transaction (US Customers)

For additional fee amounts by country, check out Stripe's website.

Details Flowers also removes an application fee. This fee varies per plan:

All Growth Plans (Monthly): 1.5% per transaction

Business (Monthly): 1.25% per transaction

Professional (Annual): 1.10% per transaction

Enterprise (Annual): 1% per transaction

Why is there an additional invoicing fee?

Our additional fee helps us keep your monthly/annual rates low! Other companies may not advertise a fee to use their invoicing, but you'll wind up paying for it via higher subscription rates!

Am I charged a fee for all payments recorded in the software?

If you are not taking the payment through our online invoicing, there is no additional fee!

Can I turn off the ability to pay with a credit card?

If you don't want your user to pay online, send them the Summary page of the contract. It includes your payment schedule, where to send checks, and the grand total breakdown.

Want to see it in action?

You have complete access to our full suite of features during your trial, and we encourage you to try it out.

Is there a mood board?

Our Design Board allows you to collect images from our pre-loaded resource section easily. You can also upload any personal images from the client's inspiration. We have a color picker to set the mood. In our proposals, we offer a cover and a concept page to allow your client to view the mood board you create.

Can I load my Pinterest / inspiration photos?

Yes! There are two ways to do this, download the image or copy the Image URL to paste into Details. These images can be uploaded anywhere in the software; including within the Recipes, Inspiration Gallery, Items, and Proposal Images!

Create your own Collection in the Inspiration Gallery of each event to store all of the beautiful images you find.

Is there a limit of how many pictures I can load into Details?

Not at this time! We currently allow our users to have an unlimited number of images for inspiration.

Can I create a recipe within a recipe?

Yes! Within Details, you can create a section on the Worksheet for the 'Overall Recipe' or the main recipe, and then add line items within that section for the smaller recipes that contribute to it. This allows for the organization of multiple recipes within a single overarching recipe.

How does Details handle taxes?

Details gives you the ability to adjust how you would like your line item charges and fees categorized for your contract. Set up your taxes once in your Event Defaults, or you can adjust them per line item within each event, as seen below!

Do you have an Autosave feature?

Yes! Once autosave is enabled for you, you can make changes throughout the worksheet that will trigger periodic saves.

You'll know the page is being saved when you see the 'Save' button at the bottom-center change to 'Please Wait.' Then, a note will appear next to the 'Save' button, indicating the last time the page was autosaved.

Important Notes:

1. Autosave is enabled on a user-by-user basis, not for the entire account.

2. This feature continually overrides itself, so there are not multiple autosaved versions, there is only one saved version that is updated every time the page saves.

Learn more about our Autosave feature here!

How often do you make updates to the Details Flowers system?

We are always hard at work to grow the Details Flowers platform for our users and we are making additions, big and small, nearly every day!

When new features are released, we will be sure to let you know about them (because we're excited to share them!).

That being said, something that helps us improve the platform is feedback from the people using it - so please let us know if there's an update you'd like to see!
