Step 4: Adding Pricing Matrix
In this article
Now that your customers have been imported, it's time to configure your pricing matrices. In YoPrint, embellishments or decorations are referred to as services. Each service includes a pricing matrix and designated application locations.
Adding a new Pricing Matrix
First things first, head on to https://app.yoprint.com/product-service/service.
This is the page you will see. Click the Service button.
You will then need to select either a Regular Matrix or Flat Matrix. Learn the difference here.
Configuring the Basic Information
- It is important that you give unique names across all your services.
- You can choose to allow custom product location if you want to specify the location outside of your presets during sales order creation.
- For each service, you can select all the locations allowed for it.
Configuring the Matrix
Primary matrix is the default matrix used to calculate the price when you add this service to any sales order.
To add your pricing matrix, click on Add Columns to add in option columns.
For screen printing, you may want to configure the number of colors.
For embroidery, you may want to configure the number of stitches.
To add more quantity rows, click on Add Rows
- In the picture above, any order fewer than 101 garments will be priced at $6.99/ea whereas any order under 201 garments will be priced at $5.99/ea for 1 color print.
You may use the red trash icon to delete any column or row if necessary.
Regular Matrix vs Flat Matrix
The Flat Matrix differs from the Regular Matrix in how pricing is calculated. With a Flat Matrix, the price is charged once per job rather than per garment in the cart, and the total cost is evenly distributed across all line items.
For example, if the price for 1 - 100 garments is set at $6.99, and you have 50 items in the cart:
- Regular Matrix: The total cost would be $6.99 × 50 = $349.50 (charged per garment).
- Flat Matrix: The total cost remains $6.99, regardless of the quantity.
This makes the Flat Matrix ideal for services with a fixed cost, such as setup fees or one-time charges.
Secondary Matrix
If a Secondary Matrix is set, the first application location will be priced using the Primary Matrix, while any additional locations will be charged according to the Secondary Matrix.
For example, if a customer requests a two-sided print, and your pricing is $10 for the first location and $8 for the second location, then:
- The Primary Matrix should be set to $10 for the first location.
- The Secondary Matrix should be set to $8 for any additional locations.
This setup ensures accurate pricing when multiple application locations are used. However, you can always create two services if you prefer to keep things flexible.
