CSV: The Most Flexible Way to Manage Fixed Product Pricing
CSV is the most flexible method for managing and pricing products with fixed options or variations that do not require dynamic calculations. It is perfect for products with pre-set combinations of attributes like size, material, finish, and quantity.
With CSV, printers can create pricing tables in Excel (CSV format) and upload them into PriceCal. Once uploaded, the system automatically converts the data into an organized selection, ensuring accurate pricing based on customer choices. This approach simplifies product management and speeds up order processing.
How CSV Works
For instance, when pricing a roll-up standee, a printer can define:
- Type: Standard, Deluxe
- Size: Small, Medium, Large
- Print Method: Digital, Offset
- Quantity: 1, 5, 10
These variables are structured in a CSV file, and once uploaded, the system automatically generates the correct price based on the selected options. This allows for precise and efficient pricing without the need for complex calculations.
Example Use Case
CSV is ideal for pricing products with predefined options, making it suitable for:
- Roll-Up Standees – (Type, Size, Print Method, Quantity)
- T-Shirts – (Print Location, Size, Quantity)
- Mugs – (Print Location, Type, Quantity)
- Posters – (Size, Paper Type, Finish, Quantity)
