Order of Product Part Options

If you use product part options, this is where you set the order in which you want them to be displayed. Simply use the ID numbers in the desired order and separate them by commas.

Enable Custom Format

This is where you decide whether the customer may change the format of his product or not. If you choose “yes”, an entry field will be displayed in the shop under “Format“, in which the customer can enter the desired height and width.

Enable Custom Quantity

Here you define whether the customer can freely choose a print run or a fixed scale shall be used.

Maximum/minimum Custom Quantity

If above you allowed customers to freely choose their production run, these two fields are used to define a minimum and maximum allowed product run.

Select Packing Unit

The minimum value is 1.

Enable Loading Cursor ( for matrix products )

The mouse pointer turns into a loading animation for matrix products, when paper, color, number of pages, etc is selected. As loading times are optimized, this function is hardly ever needed, for example in systems with very complex price and deny list structures.

Price Calculation Select

how prices for specific customer settings are to be calculated here. In addition to the standard prices (Normal) you can use your own fixed prices (Fixed), prices calculated based on specific templates (Calculation) or fixed prices with additional costs for further services (Combined).

Print product setup

The settings in Print Product Setup are the last step to publishing your print product.

Choose all product parts you need for your print product, for a brochure, for example, content and cover.

Define a (common) standard value for the respective selected options, which you want to be set as your default value, or keep the setting “No default value“, in which case no default entry will be set in the front view of the shop.

Click “Save” to make the product available in your shop.
