# One-Time Prices

Learn how to use Mimeeq's One-Time Price feature to set fixed charges that don't multiply with quantity.

## 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/pricing-and-codes/price-codes-and-promotions/one-time-prices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
