Overview

At Inbound 2025, HubSpot officially doubled down on its new AI-powered CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) system, available through Commerce Hub Professional and Enterprise. It’s a major upgrade in functionality but it comes with a major limitation for anyone who cares about custom quote templates.

That limitation:

👉 Custom templates are only available under Legacy Quotes.

👉 The new AI-powered CPQ quotes don’t allow custom templates at this time

Frame of Work’s quote template library was built specifically for legacy quotes. If your HubSpot portal doesn’t support legacy quotes anymore, you won’t be able to use Frame of Work templates, at least until HubSpot supports custom templating under the new CPQ experience.

Before you purchase a template, make sure that you can still access and use Legacy Quotes!


Legacy Quotes vs AI-powered CPQ: Key Differences

Here’s a quick comparison of what you get in each quoting system, and where Frame of Work fits:

FeatureLeagacy QuotesAI-Powered CPQ Quotes
Custom templates✅ Full support (this is what Frame of Work provides)❌ Not supported at this time
Branding✅ Flexible depending on custom modules❌ Restricted to HubSpot defaults
Layout control✅ Flexible depending on custom modules⚠️ Drag and drop experience

How to Check if Your HubSpot Portal Can Use Frame of Work Templates

Not every HubSpot account still has access to legacy quotes. Here are the conditions:

You still have access to Legacy Quotes if…

  • Your HubSpot account was created before September 3, 2025, and
  • You created at least one legacy quote in the 6 months before that date, and
  • Your seat isn't a Commerce Hub seat

You do not have access if…

  • Your HubSpot account was created after September 3, 2025, or
  • You are on Commerce Hub Professional or Enterprise with Commerce Hub seats, or
  • You’ve never created a legacy quote before September 2025.

What this means for Frame of Work users

  • If your portal qualifies under the conditions above, you can still install and use Frame of Work’s template library to deliver fully branded, professional quotes.
  • If your portal only has access to the new AI-powered CPQ quotes, you’ll be limited to HubSpot’s defaults for now. Frame of Work is closely tracking HubSpot’s roadmap, and as soon as custom templating is supported under the new system, we’ll be ready with a full library of templates.

Next steps

If you still have access to legacy quotes, now is the perfect time to install a Frame of Work template and elevate your sales documents.

Once HubSpot opens up templating for this new feature, Frame of Work will be there to support the new custom quote templates.
