Artwork Service Setup

🎨 Setting Up Artwork Service

In the printing business, not every customer provides ready-to-print artwork.
To help your team manage artwork-related charges easily, PriceCal allows you to add Artwork Services — such as design, editing, or digital proof — as selectable add-on options during ordering.

🔹 What Is the Artwork Service Component?

The Artwork Service Component defines optional (or mandatory) service fees related to artwork preparation.
These can include tasks such as:

• Checking and adjusting customer files (proofing)

• Making small edits to existing designs

• Creating new artwork or layouts from scratch

💡 Each service is charged as a fixed fee per order, ensuring accurate cost control.

🧭 Navigating to Artwork Service Setup

1. Go to Component dashboard
2. Click Artwork Service category
   

   

3. Add Artwork Service
   Edit [a]: modify existing components.
   Duplicate [b]: clone a component setup to reuse and create new.
   Delete [c]: remove unused component.

   

🧱 Create an Artwork Service Component

Step-by-Step

1. Put a unique code (up to 8 units)

2. Enter the component name. e.g. Artwork Service

3. Enter the component description. (💡 Tips: Add a short note describing what services applies to this component. Example:
   “Proof/Edit/Design”)

4. Enter the artwork service you offer
   – Service Name: enter your service name. i.e. Digital proof, Edit existing name, Design service.
   – Amount: A fixed fee per order (this cost does not change based on product price or profit margin)
   💡 Tips:If this is not a mandatory option, remember to add one option called “Not Required”. This allows customers to proceed without selecting an artwork service.

5. If you offer multiple artwork-related options, click “Add New Line” to add more.

6. Click “Save as Active” to save your service setup.
   

⚙️ How PriceCal Uses Artwork Services

When customers reach the checkout or order page:

1. They see a dropdown or selection list of available artwork services.

2. They choose one option (or “Not Required”).

3. The selected service fee is automatically added to their total order cost.

4. The admin can also adjust or track which service was chosen per order.

✅ This ensures a smooth and transparent process for both the customer and your production team.

🎯 Why This Setup Is Important

Setting up Artwork Services helps your printing business:

• ✅ Offer structured, optional design and artwork services

• ✅ Avoid miscommunication about file handling fees

• ✅ Improve workflow efficiency by tracking which service was chosen

• ✅ Increase revenue through value-added services

Together with Printing Cost, Material, and Quantity, the Artwork Service component completes your customer workflow by covering the prepress stage of print production.

✅ Next: Combine with Order Workflow

Once your Artwork Service component is active:

• Link it to relevant products in your product

• Test the customer flow by selecting artwork options and checking that fees are added correctly

• Verify that “Not Required” option lets customers proceed smoothly
