Good morning, everyone,
is there any documentation about the concept of quotes? What is the exact idea behind them? What differentiates them from orders? When are they created? What are they good for?

Hey @U01660GHSTT, that’s what Damijan has mentioned - is a feature that comes on top of quote. You can also check this article: https://documentation.spryker.com/docs/cart-functionality
In a few words:
• “quote” is an object stored in session that represents a “shopping cart” + your progress in checkout, before you hit “place order” - address / shipping / payment / etc.
• When customer submits the order, sales order is created from quote and it’s items, exactly copying it’s content.

Quote is an important object and there are lots of other functionalities based on that such as “request for quote”, “quote approval process”, etc., etc. But you can (very roughly) assume that quote is a “cart”
