either upload their own cover file or select from admin defined color and image based covers with uploaded files, the system automatically detects the cover layout based on the number of pages for example, one page for a front cover two pages for front and back covers four pages for a complete set, including front cover, inner pages, and back cover customers can choose a solid color from the provided palette or pick a pattern style design for both front and back covers when using color or image covers admins can further enhance this setup by linking cover attributes to events for instance, selecting a “green” cover can be tied to the front and back cover event, where the admin specifies the exact shade, opacity, and placement similarly, other attributes—such as size, paper type, or finishing—can be mapped to respective events, ensuring customers instantly see how their choices apply to the final product once configured, the flow is simple for customers they visit the document print page , upload their files, choose cover and printing preferences, add tabs for navigation if needed, and complete their order in just a few straightforward steps tier based pricing for every user group the product tier markup feature allows admins to create and manage different pricing tiers for customers, apply markups at both master and custom levels, and link these tiers to user groups for automated pricing behavior this helps streamline pricing management across multiple customers and products all pricing tiers are managed from the pricing tiers screen, which can be accessed from the website customers listing page this pricing tiers screen displays a list of all existing tiers along with their names, markup types (custom or master), and the number of product level overrides from here, admins can create new tiers, edit existing ones, delete those no longer needed, or duplicate a tier to save time the duplicate option opens the tier in the manage tier popup with all fields pre filled, allowing small edits to quickly set up a new tier a shortcut button is also available to open the markup master screen in an iframe, making it easy to manage markup entries without leaving the page to start with, click on the markup master button and in the pop up, create the markup master (fixed or dynamic) to be further used in creating the pricing tiers the steps to create to markup master are similar to the existing system feature with the new facility to add negative values to provide a discount once the markup master is configured, click on the add button from the pricing tiers screen to add a new pricing tier, add the basic information such as tier name, user group for which you are creating this tier, manage the status, and then assign the markup from the master you have created, or you can set up a custom markup for this tier this screen also allows product specific overrides, where admins can assign different markup rules to selected products these overrides can be added or removed dynamically to fine tune pricing at the product level once done, save all your configurations, and the added pricing tier will be displayed on the listing page to apply pricing tiers to customers, admins can use the add/edit user group pop up screen this screen lets the admin map a user group to a specific pricing tier any customer assigned to that group will automatically inherit the markup rules from the selected tier, ensuring consistent pricing for all group members once everything is set up, the system automatically applies pricing rules at the time of product browsing when a customer logs in, the system identifies their user group, retrieves the assigned pricing tier, and applies the corresponding markup to the product subtotal minor

functionality this means you can not only update existing product configurations but also assign master options or attributes to products that don’t yet have them when you open the sync/assign pop up for a master option, you will now see two choices the first choice allows you to sync option or attribute configurations to products this is particularly useful when updates are made to a master option and need to be pushed to all assigned products by default, all linked products are pre selected in the dropdown list, giving you the option to apply changes across multiple products quickly however, you can also deselect products where no update is required once the products and configuration are confirmed, clicking save will instantly sync the changes to maintain accuracy, only those products that already have the selected master option assigned will appear in this dropdown the second choice in the sync/assign pop up allows you to assign a master option or attribute to products this makes it easy to extend product configurations when new attributes are added all attributes related to the selected master option are displayed, along with a product selection you simply need to choose the product and the attribute, then save the changes once applied, the attribute will appear in the product’s option listing, making it available for use just like existing attributes if no products are currently assigned to a master option, only the assign option will be available since there is nothing to sync showcasing variations with multiple images the product gallery now supports multiple images for each attribute or option combination this means customers can see a detailed view of every variation, such as different colors, sizes, or finishes, before making a purchase decision from the product gallery in the admin panel, you can easily upload and manage these images in bulk, ensuring consistent and professional product presentation this makes it simpler to showcase products more effectively to the customers on the storefront
