Learn more about Kits in Tradify and how you can add these to Quotes.
Kits are a collection of materials, labour and miscellaneous costs that, when combined, make up an item that can be added to any quote in Tradify.
Kits are a great way to bundle costs together that make up typical services for a business. They also speed up the quoting process by making it easy to select just one master item instead of entering multiple items individually on a quote.
Important Note: Kits are exclusive to quotes. They cannot be used within Jobs, Invoices or Purchase Orders, however, they can be transferred as multiple line items to each of these features.
Price List Items and Kits
Kits commonly include Price List Items and Billing Rates. For more information check out Creating & Editing Price List Items and Adding your Labour Rates
Price list items and Billing Rates inside a kit will automatically update when the item itself is changed in settings. For example, if you update the buy price from Price List Item settings, this will also be reflected in the Kit when used in future quotes (kit line items that were added to an existing Quote before the update will not change).

Previewing The Kits Price
Within the Kit, you can view the price breakdown, including cost, gross profit, subtotal and tax of the Kit. You can also see how the price breakdown changes based on the Pricing Level and Tax setting.
To do so, use the corresponding dropdowns under the Kit Price Preview section.
Deleting a Kit
To delete a Kit, head over to Settings, click on Kits and then select the X icon on the right-hand side of the Kit you wish to delete.
