Show or Hide Price Table Totals

QuoteCloud lets you choose whether to display or hide the totals section in your price tables, giving you control over how pricing information is presented. This guide explains how to toggle totals visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does showing or hiding totals in a price table mean?

Showing or hiding totals controls whether the totals section — typically the subtotal, applied discounts, taxes and the grand total — is displayed at the bottom of a QuoteCloud price table. This setting only changes the visible price summary in the document; the underlying calculations remain unchanged.

How can I hide the totals section in QuoteCloud?

Open the document and launch the price table editor, go to the totals or summary settings, and toggle the totals visibility option off. Once disabled, the totals row will no longer appear in the price table within the editor or in the generated document views (PDFs and shared links).

Can I show totals again after hiding them?

Yes. Re-enable the totals section any time by returning to the price table editor and switching the totals visibility back on. The totals will immediately reappear in the table and in any regenerated documents or shared links.

Does hiding totals affect how QuoteCloud calculates prices?

No. QuoteCloud continues to calculate subtotals, discounts, taxes and the grand total in the background. Hiding totals only alters presentation for clients or reviewers; numeric calculations, API data, and integration exports remain accurate.

Why would I want to hide totals on a quote or proposal?

Hiding totals can help simplify presentation when you want to emphasize individual line items, show a detailed pricing breakdown, or encourage conversation without revealing a final sum. It’s useful for staged proposals, negotiation phases, internal drafts, or when you’re using sales quoting software or sales proposal software to present options rather than a single final price.

Which specific items are included in the totals section?

The totals section normally includes the subtotal (sum of line items), any applied discounts, calculated taxes, and the grand total. Depending on your template or configuration it can also include shipping, fees, or other summary rows grouped at the bottom of the price table.

If I hide totals, will they be removed from exported PDFs or shared documents?

Yes — when totals visibility is turned off, the totals section will not be shown in exported PDFs or in shared document views. If you need a version that displays totals for accounting or client review, re-enable totals in the price table editor before exporting or sharing.

Does hiding totals affect integrations or invoicing (for example QuickBooks Online)?

No — hiding totals is presentation-only. QuoteCloud will still calculate and send the correct totals when you create invoices or sync data with integrations such as QuickBooks Online. If you rely on external accounting systems, those systems will receive the same calculated values even if the document view hides the totals.
