Before configuring pricing, make sure you have already set up your Sizes.

Accessing the Pricing Settings

  1. Go to the Sign Customiser Admin:

    • Universal subscribers: Go to Home in your account.

    • Shopify users: Navigate to Shopify admin → Apps and select Sign Customiser.

  2. Click on Customisers in the menu.

  3. Select your customiser.

  4. From the left-hand menu, go to Core Setup → Pricing.

Step 1: Create a Pricing Plan for Your Sizes

  1. In Pricing, click on Add new pricing or edit an existing one.

  2. Under Price Settings, enter:

    • Label – the name of your pricing plan (for internal use only).

  3. Under Letter pricing mode, select one of the following:

    • Every letter costs the same – base price plus an individual price for each letter position in each line of text.

    • Price by position – base price plus an individual price for each letter position in each line of text.

  4. Under Pricing for Each Size, all the sizes you created in the Sizes setting will be displayed.

    Configure your pricing for each size:

    • Base Price (Optional) – the cost for each line of text on the sign. You can set different base prices for each line. If you do not need a base price, enter ‘0’.

      Note: If Base Price for Multi-selection option is enabled, the base price is disabled here. See the Multi-colour / Multi-font sign designs for more information.

    • Letter Price (Optional) – set the letter price according to the selected Letter pricing mode:

      • Every Letter Costs the Same: Enter a fixed price per letter.

      • Price by position: Click Edit position prices and enter a price for each letter position. You can enter ‘0’ for any free positions. The final position price is also used for any letters entered after the last configured position.

  5. Click Save.

How Pricing Works in the Simple Letter Model

The Simple Letter Model calculates the sign’s final price based on these factors:

  • Size selection – either width or height is fixed

  • Number of lines

  • Base price per line

  • Price per character per line

You can create multiple pricing rules and assign them to different fonts. For example, fonts that need more material or labour can be assigned a higher price tier.

Below are examples of how the calculation works.

Example 1: One Line of Text

Sign Details

Sign text: Awesome Sign

Font: Yellowtail font

Size: Small

Lines: 1

Line 1:

  • Base price for Line 1: $100

  • Characters: 11

  • Price per character: $20

Calculation

Final Price Formula = Base Price + (Character × Price per Character)

Total = 100 + (11 × 20) = $320.

Example 2: Two Lines of Text

Sign Details

Sign text line 1: Awesome

Sign text line 2: Sign

Font: Yellowtail font

Size: Small

Lines: 2

Line 1:

  • Base price: $100

  • Characters: 7

  • Price per character: $20

Line 2:

  • Base price: $60

  • Characters: 4

  • Price per character: $30

Calculation

Total Price of Each Line Formula = Base Price + (Character × Price per Character)

Final Price Formula = Total Price of Line 1 + Total Price of Line 2

Line 1: 100 + (7 × 20) = 240

Line 2: 60 + (4 × 30) = 180

Total = 240 + 180 = $420

FAQ

How many letter positions can you have for Price by position pricing?

You can set prices for up to 100 letter positions. If a customer enters more letters than you have configured, each additional letter uses the price configured for the final position.

Can you switch between Every Letter Costs the Same and Price by Position without losing pricing?

Yes. You can switch between Every Letter Costs the Same and Price by Position without losing the saved prices for either mode.
Switching back to a pricing mode restores the values you previously entered for that mode.

What happens if I use currency bulk conversion? Will it update both letter pricing modes or the one currently in use?

Currency conversion and bulk price adjustments update both sets of saved prices, including the position-based price lists.
