Product Setup (SC-Basic)

🧱 Overview

The SC-Basic data source is designed for products that don’t require detailed material, size, or print cost breakdowns — such as Easel Stands, Sample Kits, or other accessories.
It allows you to set a fixed cost per piece while still utilizing PriceCal’s core features like profit margin, artwork service, and quantity selection.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Select “SC-Basic” as your data source
