In print and promotional-product stores, the product price is only part of the order. Printing methods, quantities, setup fees and artwork positions affect both the cost and the work required after purchase. We developed Printing Cost Manager as an iKetch product to bring those decisions into the WooCommerce ordering journey, helping customers specify their needs and giving the team a more complete order.<\/p>\n
The extension needed to support different printing price models while keeping the choices understandable. It also had to distinguish product quantity from the number of items to be printed, attach artwork to the order and keep costs consistent between the product page and cart. For operations teams, approval and production status needed to remain connected to the order itself.<\/p>\n
We built a management layer for printing methods, product and category assignments, setup fees and per-item prices. Pro extends this with quantity tiers, print options, price modifiers and separate print areas. Customers can see the cost as they configure the product, order it without printing or specify a partial printing quantity where the store allows it. The order retains the selections the team needs to fulfil the work.<\/p>\n
We added artwork uploads with protected storage, followed by design approval and production-job tools in the paid edition. Pricing details, working files and fulfilment stages can therefore remain associated with the order rather than spread across separate channels. Printing-method import and export also make configuration easier to transfer and reuse.<\/p>\n
Entered prices follow the store\u2019s WooCommerce setting for tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive price entry, with guidance beside the pricing controls. The extension integrates with iKetch Tax Display Toggle so visible printing charges follow the visitor\u2019s tax-view preference. We reviewed the interface with popular themes and free Elementor, including Arabic and right-to-left layouts.<\/p>\n
The delivered extension brings pricing configuration, customer selections and artwork into one ordering process, with Pro tools for post-purchase operations. The project demonstrates how we turn a specialised operational requirement into a WooCommerce product, with Free and Pro editions and Freemius integration for paid licensing and updates.<\/p>\n
