Product Setup (SC-Item)

Overview

The SC-Item data source is designed for customized products like DTF shirts, mugs, puzzles, and other personalized items.
It provides flexibility for products with different models, materials, and print specs, all calculated per piece (By Absolute).
This makes SC-Item ideal for retail or print-on-demand style products where the customer selects a product model (e.g., shirt type) and related specifications (e.g., fabric, color, or packing).
