Lightbox Types

Lightbox Types define the structural makeup of your lightbox signs. Each Lightbox Type (e.g. “Circle Shape”, “Rectangle”) specifies which component types are available and how they’re configured — including colours, materials, and per-component pricing.

You’ll find Lightbox Types under Sign Components → Lightbox Types in the admin sidebar. This section only appears for customisers using the Frame Fit pricing model.

Component Types

Each Lightbox Type is made up of individual component types — the physical parts of the lightbox that customers can customise:

• Face — the front panel of the lightbox

• Back — the rear panel

• Border — the frame edge surrounding the lightbox

• Internal Light — the illumination inside the lightbox

• Top, Bottom, Left, Right — individual sides (available on some lightbox configurations)

• Trim — decorative edging (optional)

Each component type can have its own set of colours and materials, and its own pricing. This gives you precise control over what customers can select and how much each part costs.

Creating a Lightbox Type

1. Navigate to your customiser in the Sign Customiser admin.

2. Click Lightbox Types in the left-hand sidebar under Sign Components.

3. Click Add new Lightbox Type.

4. Enter a Title (e.g. “Circle Shape”, “Rectangle”) and an optional Description.

5. Save your new Lightbox Type.

Configuring Component Types

Once you’ve created a Lightbox Type, you can configure each of its component types:

1. Click into your Lightbox Type from the list.

2. You’ll see the available component types listed in the sidebar or parts list (Face, Back, Border, Internal Light, etc.).

3. Click on a component type to edit it.

4. For each component type you can: — Enable or disable it for this Lightbox Type — Set the label and description customers will see — Assign the available colours and materials — Configure component-specific pricing

5. Save your changes.

How Lightbox Type Pricing Works

Pricing for lightbox customisers is layered:

1. Base pricing — configured in Core Setup → Pricing. This is the area-based (CM²) or volume-based (CM³) price for the frame itself.

2. Component pricing — configured per component type within each Lightbox Type. This lets you charge differently for specific materials or colours on individual parts (e.g. a premium face material or an upgraded internal light).

3. Mounting fees — optional supplementary costs configured under Mountings.

Component pricing is added on top of your base pricing. If a customer selects a brushed aluminium face instead of a standard white face, the price difference is applied as an additional cost layered over the base frame price.
