Maintaining consistent pricing is essential for every print shop. InfoFlo Print now allows you to set specific products so that automatic markups and margin adjustments do not alter their price. This feature ensures that sensitive items, premium packages, or special products retain a fixed cost, giving you more control over your pricing strategy.
In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to enable markup exemptions, handle nested products, and configure the updated email notification settings to improve communication reliability.
Understanding Markup-Exempt Items
Markup-exempt items retain their original price even when your system applies global markups or margin changes. This prevents unintended price fluctuations and ensures that products sold at a fixed cost remain consistent.
For example, if a bundle contains both standard and markup-exempt items, any applied markup affects only the standard product. The exempt item remains at its original price, giving you precise control over bundled product pricing.
How to Enable Markup-Exempt Products
Follow these steps to mark a product as exempt from automatic markups:
-
Navigate to Products → Edit Product Template.
-
Find the Markup Exempt checkbox.
-
Select the checkbox to mark the product as exempt.
Once marked:
-
All margin and markup fields for the product are disabled.
-
The price of the product remains unchanged, even when used in nested items.
-
Non-exempt products still respond to global markup or margin changes.
This feature prevents accidental price adjustments and ensures your fixed-cost products retain their intended value.
Managing Nested Products
InfoFlo Print applies markups only to eligible items in bundles or nested products:
-
Standard products respond to applied markups.
-
Exempt items retain their fixed pricing.
For example, if a bundle includes both a standard product and a markup-exempt product, increasing the markup adjusts only the standard item. This functionality ensures accurate pricing for complex product configurations.
Improved SMTP Settings for Email Notifications
In addition to pricing controls, InfoFlo Print has updated the SMTP configuration to enhance email reliability:
-
Each SMTP account can now use a custom From email address.
-
The SMTP username is used only for server authentication.
-
All outgoing notifications now display the correct sender address, preventing inconsistencies.
These improvements ensure professional and consistent communication with customers and internal staff.
Benefits of Markup Exemption
Implementing markup exemptions and enhanced SMTP features provides several advantages:
-
Maintain fixed pricing for sensitive or premium products.
-
Prevent unintended price changes in bundles or nested products.
-
Ensure email notifications are delivered from the correct address.
-
Improve workflow efficiency and reduce errors in order management.
Conclusion
Using markup-exempt products in InfoFlo Print gives your print shop precise pricing control, protects sensitive items, and ensures consistency across all orders. Coupled with the updated SMTP settings, your communication becomes reliable and professional. These features help streamline operations and maintain accurate pricing across your print shop.
