A pricing rule adjusts prices on top of what a product already costs. Rules live on their own tab beside Products, and each shows how many products it applies to. New rule creates one. A rule changes nothing until a product uses it. Attach it with Add rule on that product’s Pricing tab, or to many products at once with the Add pricing rules operation in the products bulk editor. A new business starts with a flat fee, a percent markup, a volume discount and a size upcharge rule already made. Every rule form previews itself against a sample product, showing Base pricing above and the result below, so you can see what a rule does before saving it.

Rule types

How several rules combine

A product can carry more than one rule, and all of them apply. They apply in the order they sit in on the product, which you set by dragging them in the Pricing tab. Each rule works on the price the one above it produced, so a percent markup above a size upcharge marks up the base price, and below it marks up the upcharged price. Round is the exception. It always runs last, wherever you place it, so the rounded figure is never marked up afterward. Reordering reprices the product immediately.

Size upcharge

Add a surcharge for each size that costs extra. Other spellings of the same size are covered automatically, so 2XL also covers XXL. Tall, petite, short and long sizes use the matching regular size unless you list them, so 2XL also covers 2XLT.
To charge nothing for one of those, list it at $0.00. Leaving it out means it inherits the regular size’s upcharge.
Youth sizes are a different scale, not a length, so a youth XL never inherits the adult XL upcharge. List a youth size by name to charge for it.

Volume discount

A discount percentage per quantity tier. The first tier is typically 0%, meaning full price, with larger quantities discounting from there. The discount is worked out at order time from how many of the product a customer has in the cart, across every size and color. The product page shows customers how many more to add to reach the next tier. The preview prices every tier separately, so you can read what a customer buying 36 pays against one buying 144.

Screen printing upcharge

The quantity column is how many the customer orders. Each row is the upcharge per unit when they order at least that many, so the more they order, the less each unit costs. The other columns are how many colors the artwork has. The product’s listed price uses the first row. A product with no artwork gets no upcharge.

Embroidery upcharge

The quantity column is how many the customer orders. Each row is the upcharge per unit, for each embroidered location, when they order at least that many, so the more they order, the less each unit costs. The other columns are how many stitches the embroidery file has. The product’s listed price uses the first row. The stitch count comes from the artwork’s embroidery file. An artwork without one adds nothing, so the rule looks attached and prices nothing. The preview says which location count and stitch count it assumed, since the same rule prices differently against a one-location job and a three-location one.

FE decoration upcharge

A per-location rate for each printing method, for Fulfill Engine products. It can only be attached to one, and each decoration location on the product adds the rate you set for that product’s own printing method, per unit.

Round

Rounds prices up, never down, to a chosen increment: $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $0.99 or $1.00. $0.99 means the next price ending in .99, so $12.34 becomes $12.99.
