Retail Price List Templates allow labs to build retail price lists that photographers can use as the basis for their own retail price list. Retail Price List Templates provide an easy way for a photographer to build their own retail price list that contains all the necessary lab product associations. Photographers also are able to easily add a markup above the lab's cost.
When viewing the list of products in a Lab Product Group, click the Create Template button at the bottom.
After the Price List Template is generated, the list of Price List Templates appears.
Click the Edit button to "publish" the Retail Price List template or to change it's name. By default, all new Retail Price List Templates are set to not be published, so that photographers do not see retail price list templates before they are ready.
Select the Published checkbox to make a Retail Price List Template available to photographers.
Click the Update button to save the changes.
Click the Products button next to the newly generated Price List Template in order to edit the Retail Price List Template's product names, product categories, and starting prices. Click the Preview button to see a preview of this Price List Template in a new web browser window. Click the Quick Edit button to easily edit price list names and starting prices. Click the Bulk Edit button to easily edit a large number of products.
If your lab as published any Retail Price List Templates and a photographer has access to the necessary Lab Products, the photographer will see a Create new price list from Lab Template feature at the bottom of the photographer's Price List tab. When the photographer selects the desired Retail Price List Template and clicks the Create Price List button, they are then able to specify a price list name, apply a percentage markup on top of the prices defined in the Retail Price List Template, and choose which products not to include in their price list by unchecking boxes next to products.
