Sign Customiser now lets you price a backboard by the area of the sign. Instead of a single flat fee, you can set a rate per square inch (or per square centimetre) so bigger signs are charged proportionally more for their backboard — a fairer way to recover material costs that grow with size.
What’s Changed
- Area-based backboard pricing - On any backboard, choose “Price per square in/cm” under Additional Pricing and set a rate. The charge is the sign’s width × height × your rate, added automatically to the customer’s quote.
- Clear customer breakdown - When an area rate applies, customers see a dedicated “Backboard area” line in their price breakdown showing the dimensions, the rate, and the resulting charge.
- Follows your measurement unit - Enter the rate per square inch or per square centimetre to match your store’s settings; the customiser handles the conversion for you.
- Works with bulk price adjustments - The area rate scales alongside your other prices when you apply a global price adjustment or switch currency, so nothing is left behind.
- Off by default - Existing backboards are unaffected; pricing only changes once you set a rate. The option is hidden on Frame Fit and Cut-out Metal signs, which already price the whole sign by area.
