What’s New for Responsive Consumer Rate Quotes
DESCRIPTION |
Support has been added in Responsive CRQ for a Buy Now button. When selected, the consumer will be delivered to that carrier’s consumer-facing website, where they may continue the buying process.
Note: At the time of this release, no carriers have yet implemented this feature. |
-
This will display only for carriers that support Buy Now
-
An agency will need to select the “Show Buy Now” checkbox, per the participating carrier in CRQ Setup.

This will not display for fake packages, even if the monoline carrier supports it.
-
Help text is available for consumer information.
When a consumer selects the Buy Now button:
-
A checkmark will display with, “We’ve been notified!”
-
The notification will display, “You will be redirected to ‘Selected Carrier’s’ website to complete the issuance of the policy. The ‘Agency Name (from CRQ Setup)’ will be your agent and will be notified of your selection.”
-
The “Selected Carrier” can be a different name than the carrier displayed on the rates page
-
-
An email will be sent to the agency with a subject line that reads as follows:
-
The lead in PL Rating will show “Buy Now Selected”
When the lead is pulled into PL Rating, it will show “Buy Now” as the quote status on the rate-comparison page.
-
The Quote Report will show the Quote Status as “Buy Now”
DESCRIPTION |
For added security, there is now an option to show an agency’s site name instead of showing the consumer its Agency ID in the CRQ URL.
In Admin>Consumer Rate Quotes Setup:
-
Click Edit on Agency Setup tab
-
The “Responsive” (Mobile Device Compatible) checkbox should already be checked
-
Consumer URL
-
Enter agency’s site name in the Site Key field

The Site Key can be any text the agency may choose

The Site Key will show up in the CRQ URL in place of the Agency ID
-
It is not possible to have duplicate “Site Keys” across agencies
-
-
Click Update
-
You can provide either URL to the agency’s website designer in order to open CRQ.
CRQ will now show the “Site Key Value” in the URL, as opposed to showing the Agency ID.
Note: If no Site Key is entered (i.e., it is left blank), the Agency ID will be used as it is today. |
