Pricing Setup
Configure how SpreeShop calculates order totals — from quantity breaks to embroidery rates to rush order surcharges.
Understanding Quantity Breaks
Quantity break pricing means the per-unit price drops as the total quantity in an order increases. This is standard practice in the decorated apparel industry — screen printing setup costs are amortized over more units at higher quantities.
Example quantity break table:
| Qty Range | Price per Unit | Example: 36 pcs |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 11 | $22.00 | — |
| 12 – 23 | $18.00 | — |
| 24 – 47 | $15.50 | $558.00 total |
| 48 – 71 | $13.75 | — |
| 72+ | $12.00 | — |
In this example, an order of 36 shirts would use the 24-47 tier and price at $15.50 each. The tier is determined by the total quantity across all sizes and colors in the order (not per color or per size).
Tip
Screen Print Pricing
Screen print pricing uses your quantity break tiers. The tier is applied once across the full order, regardless of how many print locations are on the garment. Each additional print location can add a flat per-unit fee (e.g., $1.50/unit for a back print in addition to the front).
Screen printing also has setup fees (screen charges). These are one-time charges per design per color per location. Configure default setup fees in Settings → Pricing → Setup Fees. Example: $20 per screen, 2 colors on front = $40 setup fee added to the order total.
Embroidery Pricing
Embroidery is priced by stitch count. Configure your rates in Settings → Pricing → Embroidery Rates. Example rate table:
| Stitch Count | Price per Unit |
|---|---|
| Up to 5,000 stitches | $5.00 |
| 5,001 – 10,000 stitches | $7.50 |
| 10,001 – 15,000 stitches | $10.00 |
| 15,001+ stitches | $12.50 |
When you add an embroidery product, you specify the stitch count during product setup. SpreeShop uses that to calculate the per-unit price. Embroidery also has a digitizing fee (one-time setup to convert the artwork to embroidery format) — configure this separately.
Markup on Blanks
The base price you set on each product should already include your markup on the blank garment cost. SpreeShop does not have a separate "blank cost" field — your price is your price. When setting product prices, factor in:
- Blank garment cost (what you pay the distributor)
- Decoration cost (ink, screens, emulsion)
- Labor (time per unit at your shop rate)
- Overhead allocation (rent, utilities, equipment)
- Desired margin (typically 35-50% for retail)
Rush Order Pricing
To charge extra for rush turnaround, configure a rush order multiplier in Settings → Pricing → Rush Pricing. Example: 1.25x for 5-day turnaround, 1.50x for 3-day turnaround. When you mark an order as a rush order from the order detail view, the multiplier is applied and the customer is notified of the adjusted total before the charge goes through.
Tax Configuration
Go to Settings → Pricing → Tax to configure sales tax collection. SpreeShop supports:
- Flat rate tax — A single percentage applied to all taxable items (e.g., 8.25% for Texas).
- Tax-exempt customers — B2B accounts can be marked as tax-exempt so tax is not charged on their orders.
- Tax-exempt products — Mark specific products as non-taxable (varies by state; consult your accountant).
