Custom Options & Artwork Uploads

Beyond size and quantity, recipes can carry custom options that customers choose in the calculator — each with its own pricing behaviour — and an artwork upload field so the print file arrives with the order.

Option styles#

Dropdowns & radio buttons#

Choice options with a flat surcharge per choice:

• "Corner style" — Straight (+$0) / Rounded (+$6)
• "Finish" — Matte (+$0) / High gloss (+$4.50)

Surcharges are per order, spread across the quantity, and never reduced by volume discounts — an add-on's price is an add-on's price.

Text inputs#

Text options can be priced per character — engraving lines, personalised names, printed serials:

• Set a cost per character and min/max length bounds
• The calculator reprices as the customer types
• Per-character charges join the variable cost, so they do participate in volume discounts

Required options#

Mark an option required and the calculator blocks add-to-cart until it's answered — no more chasing customers for missing choices.

Everything lands on the order#

Each chosen option is written to the order's line item properties in plain language ("Corner style: Rounded"), alongside the dimensions — your production team reads the order and knows exactly what to make.

Artwork upload#

Enable uploads on a recipe and the calculator shows a drag-and-drop file field (the label — default "Upload Artwork" — is customisable):

• The file is stored securely and a link is attached to the cart line and the order
• Your team downloads the exact artwork from the order — no email attachments to match up to jobs
• Combined with a required option or two, an order arrives genuinely production-ready
