- Base on a number of resources: Text, Clipart, Images, Uploaded Image…
- Base on number of colors: 1 Color, 2 Color or full color
- Base on size of print production: A1, A2,…A6
- Fixed price for each quantity
Of course, all options base on the quantity range which user want to orders.
For example, Their design has 2 colors and they order 7 products. And base price of product is $10
We have calculated price table as:
quantity / 2 colors
———–
5/0.5
———–
10/0.7
So price for product is: (price base + option price )*quantity + printing price = $10*7 + 0.7 = $70.7
option price : equal 0 in this case.
printing price : 0.7 because quanity in range of 5 and 10, So it take price of 10.
