One-Time Prices
Add fixed charges that stay the same however many units a customer orders. Learn how the Ignore Product Quantity toggle works and when to use it.
The Ignore Product Quantity toggle, found in the Pricing and Codes tab, is a special pricing feature. It 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 colour 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 customisation costs that only need to be paid once
Administrative charges that apply to the entire order
Benefits
More accurately reflects true costs of certain customisations
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:
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.
