How to Assign Prices to a Product in a Microvellum Overdrive CUT File
 

SUMMARY

This article describes how to further automate the import process from a Microvellum Overdrive Library to SellingPoint by importing pricing information.

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: This article applied only if your SellingPoint Online store is NOT running in dynamic mode.  In dynamic mode, the price of the product is specified as a formula in column "B" of the "Base Price" hidden prompt.

Begin by opening the desired product CUT file in a spreadsheet editing program such as Microsoft Excel and switch to the "Prompts" sheet.

To specify the base price of the product:

  1. Locate the section containing hidden prompts.  Visible prompts are separated by hidden prompts by an empty row, so the hidden prompts section will start with the first row after an empty row.
  2. Add a new row column with "A" containing "Base Price" and column "B" containing the base price.

Additionally, price points can be added to individual prompts in order to customize the pricing of each product.  For instance, if the user is allowed to change the materials used to create the product, the base price will need to be adjusted to compensate.

To specify price points for different prompt options:

  1. In the visible prompts section, specify the price point in column "I" of the option row.
  2. Since there are several type of controls the user can interact with, use the following to determine how to add pricing to
    1. Radio Button controls will have a single price which is added if that radio button is checked.
    2. Check Box controls will have a dual value separated by a comma.  The first price will be added to the base price if the box is checked, the second price will be added if the box is not checked.
    3. Text Box controls are not applicable and price points will not be recognized.
    4. Combo Box controls use a comma delimited string of prices that correspond to the comma delimited string of list items that go into the combo box.  Depending upon the value selected from the combo box, the appropriate price will be applied to the base price.
    5. Disabled (Read Only) Text Box controls are not applicable and price points will not be recognized.

    Use the following table for quick reference:

    Control Type Column "C" Identifier   Column "I" Pricing Format
    Text Box NULL or 1 Not Applicable
    First Radio Button 2 On
    Additional Radio Buttons 3 On
    Check Box 4 On,Off (Comma delimited)
    Combo Box 5 Comma delimited in same order as list items
    Disabled Text Box 10 Not Applicable
