The Product Class field determines where the product will be displayed in the SimplePhoto shopping interface.
Product/Size - A standard print product. Photos will be printed on this product. This option is selected by default.
Image Option - A product associated with an image, not a specific product. The most common example is Retouching.
Order Option - A product not associated with any image. Examples are loose frames or a rush processing fee. These products will appear on the shopping cart review screen.
The Pricing Type field determines how the product is priced. This is set at the Lab Product level so that the setting will carry forward to the Retail Price List Template.
The Product Code field is used to store the DP2 Layout ID, the ROES UID, the DRUMS Package ID, or other identifier useful for automated fulfillment.
The Lab Cost will be used as the starting point for the retail price when a Retail Price List Template is generated from a Lab Product Group.
The Billing Code field is only used by certain integrations such as the SimplePhoto DP2 Bridge, when billing identifiers are stored separately from product codes.

* If a product option is added to a lab product after that lab product has been associated with an item inside a photographer's price list, you will need to go into the photographer's price list and click on the "Options" button to associate the new option with that price list product.
* Note for SimplePhoto DP2 Bridge and ROES lab customers - see the Populate Layout Options help page for more information on using product options to populate product layout options for fulfillment.
Photographers cannot currently override the label on an option.
When a product with options is associated to a standard retail product, the photographer can enable or disable the option and set the retail price for the option.
When a product with options is used within SimplePhoto’s Package Builder, all options will appear to the customer and the option price has no affect on the package price.
