3. Price setup

In Remote Manager there are 5 different methods to calculate the prices, depending on product type and number of pages. Methods are:

1. sheets: price is calculated directly based on the numer of pages2. Range: price is fixed within any number of sheets of a range.3. Fixed cost: price is fixed independently of number of pages.4. Additional sheet: price is calculated as fixed initial price plus and extra

cost per numebr of pages. Needs to be combined with fixed cost. Only is applicable to albums.

5. Volume: an extra calculation used to reduce album prices based on the number of copies. It applies a % discount on volume

When calculating album variable prices based on number of sheets, all the special sheets (cover, first page,…) are also considered in the calulation as the rest of the sheets (despite in the store have an specific status)

3. Price setup for prints

Price management for prints: 2 options

1. Use sheets pricing to asign an individual price to each print which is inside a range.example: print price from 6 to 10 prints is 0,45€. If 7 prints are ordered the cost will be 7*0,45 = 3,15€

2. Use range pricing to assign the price for a maximum pack whichever the number of printsexample : price of copies in the range from 1 to 50 is 15€. If 37 prints (or any other amount from 1 to 50) are ordered the cost will be 15€.

Price management for composition and gifts: 3 options.

1. Use sheets pricing to assign an individual price to each print which is inside a range.

2. Use range pricing to assign the price for a maximum pack of sheets whichever the number of printsExample: if there are 3 sheet ranges: 1-100 at 15€, 101-200 at 14,5, 201-500 at 12€, when consumer orders 150 sheets the price will be 150*14,5=2.175€

3. Use fixed cost to set a price independently from the numbe of sheets ordered

3. Price setup for composition and gifts

3. Price setup for albums

Price management for Albums. 5 options

1. Sheets: there is a fixed cost per sheet calculated as the cost of the range corresponding to the total number of sheets. example: if there are 3 sheet ranges: 1-10 at 1€, 1-20 at 0,90€ and 21-50 at 0,75€, an album of 45 pages will be priced at 45*0,75 = 33,75€

2. Ranges: The price is directly the price assigned in the range.example: if there are 3 sheet ranges: 1-5 at 20€, 6-10 at 25€, and 11-99 at 30€, an

album of 8 sheets will cost 25€

3. Price setup for albums

3. Fixed cost: the price of the product is independent of the number of pages.Example : a fixed cost independently of the number of sheets in the book.

4. Fixed cost + additional sheets. The price of the product is a fixed amount plus the cost of the extra pages in excess from a certain quantity.Example: fixed cost is 20€ and the additional cost from extra pages from 15 to 99 sheets is 2€ per sheet then. A book of 14 pages will cost 20€, but if consumer add more pages there will be an extra-charge of 2€ per any additional sheet over 14. Only one range is allowed.

Special sheets are always considered as any other sheets in terms of pricing calculation

3. Price setup for albums

5. Volume discount: for multi-page products only (albums, calendars, greeting cards…), it is possible to set a reduced price applying a discount based on number of copies (only when several copies from the same album)Example:1 album: 100% priceFrom 2 to 5 albums : 10% discount (90% of initial price)From 6 to 99 albums: 20% discount (80% of initial price)
