How customisation pricing works
Personalisation is something people happily pay for, and this is where you decide how. The model is deliberately simple and safe: your normal product price never changes, and Sigmira only ever adds a customisation fee on top, based on what the customer actually designs. Grasp that one idea and pricing stops being intimidating; the rest is just choosing which efforts are worth charging for. Here’s how it fits together before you build your first rule.
The model
Customisation pricing sits on top of WooCommerce. The base product price, tax and shipping all behave exactly as they do today. Sigmira only ever adds an extra amount for the personalisation; it never alters the underlying price.
That extra amount is worked out by pricing rules. A rule says, in effect, "if the design has this much of that, add this fee." For example:
- Add €2 for each uploaded photo.
- Add €0.10 per character of engraving.
- Add a €5 flat setup fee whenever the product is customised.
- Charge more for a larger printed area.
What the customer sees
When a rule adds a fee, the customer sees it as a Customization Fee line on their cart item, in addition to the product price. It flows through to checkout and the order total like any other charge.
How multiple rules combine
You can have several rules at once. Two settings decide how they add up:
- Match mode — on each rule, choose Sum all (every matching tier adds its fee) or First match (only the first matching tier applies).
- Priority — when order matters, a rule’s Priority (0–1000) controls which is considered first.
Don’t worry about the mechanics yet; the next page walks through building a rule step by step.
Where to set it up
All of this lives under Pricing Rules in the Sigmira Dashboard. Fees can be scoped to specific products or print methods, so a rule can apply everywhere or just to one product.
