# Understanding One-Time Price Feature in Mimeeq


# What are One Time Prices?

The "Ignore Product Quantity" toggle (found in the Pricing and Codes tab) is a special pricing feature that applies a one-time charge to your configuration, regardless of how many units of the product are ordered.

## How It Works

When this option is checked for a specific price component:

* The charge will be added to the total only once per order    
* The charge will not multiply when the customer orders multiple configurations    
* For multiple-configuration orders, the system automatically distributes this one-time cost across all units

## Real-World Example

Scenario: Custom Color Upcharge for Furniture

Let's say you're configuring a chair with these components:

* Base chair: €1,000    
* Special paint option: €100 with "Ignore Product Quantity" enabled

When ordering 1 unit:

* Total price: €1,100 (€1,000 + €100)    
* Price per unit: €1,100

When ordering 20 units:

* Standard calculation without this feature: €22,000 (20 × €1,100)    
* With "Ignore Product Quantity" enabled: €20,100        
* Base chairs: €20,000 (20 × €1,000)        
* One-time paint charge: €100 (applied only once)        
* Price per unit: €1,005 (€20,100 ÷ 20)

## When To Use This Feature

This feature is ideal for:

* Setup fees that shouldn't scale with quantity    
* Special customization costs that only need to be paid once   
* Administrative charges that apply to the entire order

## Benefits

* More accurately reflects true costs of certain customizations    
* Provides more competitive pricing for larger orders    
* Simplifies pricing for one-time services associated with the product

## User Interface Note

When the "Ignore Product Quantity" feature is used, the system displays an informational message on the finish screen indicating: "This product contains one-time extra charges of [amount]."

This message helps customers understand why the total price doesn't increase at a strictly linear rate when ordering multiple units. It provides transparency about the pricing structure and prevents confusion when customers change quantities.
