How can I change a product’s retail price?
1. Go to Dashboard > Stores;
2. Choose the online store where the product was published and find the product;
3. Click the "Edit price" button to change product price;
4. After editing the price, click the "Continue to publish" button.
You can also go to your online store and directly change the retail price there, but the new price will not be synced to PODpartner. You will find the retail price on PODpartner different from what’s in your store.
It should be noted that the product that has been synchronized to squarespace can only be changed in its product price and product information on the squarespace website
What are retail price and retail shipping price?
Retail price is how much you charge your customer for your product, and PODpartner's product price is what we charge you for the garment and the printing(excluding shipping fee and tax).
Retail shipping price is the amount you charge your customer for shipping, whereas the PODpartner shipping fee is how much we charge you for shipping out your order.
The total amount you pay for your order is as below:
Order cost = PODpartner product price + PODpartner shipping fee + Tax
And the price your customer pays is:
Your product's retail price + Your online store's retail shipping price
You are free to decide how to set the retail price and the retail shipping price. If you want your customer to cover the shipping fee, you can either include this cost in your retail price or set your retail shipping price equal to the PODpartner shipping fee.
Does your product price include shipping fee and tax?
Our product price does not include shipping fee or tax. The equation below shows how you will pay for each order.
Order cost = Product price + Shipping fee + Tax
Product price consists of two parts: garment price and total printing cost. Therefore, a product’s price may vary according to the number of prints added to it.
Shipping fee is determined by three factors: shipping method, destination, and clothing type.
Tax is calculated according to the tax policy of the country where the order will be delivered.
Why is my product status showing “To be updated”?
If you edit the description or price of a published product and click on “Save as draft” rather than "Continue to publish", the changes you make will not be synced to your store listings, and the product status will become "To be Updated". Only after you click the "Update" button will the changes be applied to your store listings, and the product status will switch back to "Synced".
Even if a product is “To be updated”, it can still be sold in your online store and sent to production by PODpartner. Please keep in mind that if you have changed a product’s retail price without syncing it to your store, the product will be sold at the previous price you set.
Note that if the product you save as a draft has never been published to your store, the product status will be “Draft” instead of “To be updated”.
Can I edit a product in an order?
When a product exists in an order, you cannot change its design, quantity, colors, or sizes, no matter the order status. However, you can still edit the product’s retail price and shipping information. If you have any questions, please get in touch with our customer service.
How do I edit product information?
If you want to edit a published product on PODpartner, see the steps below:
- Go to Dashboard > Stores;
- Choose the store where you listed the product;
- Find that product and hover your cursor over the ellipsis at the right of the row;
- Click "Edit Description" or "Edit Price" on the pop-up menu;
- Make changes and press "Continue to publish";
- Any changes to the product will be synced to your online store.
You can also edit a product on PODpartner without changing anything from your storefront. What you can do is follow step 1 - 5 mentioned above, then, instead of pressing "Continue to publish", click "Save as draft". This way, the product details in your retail store will remain unchanged, and if you go back to your product list, you will see the product status become "To be updated". Whenever you decide to apply the changes to your store, just click the "Update" button.
Note that after the updates, the visibility of your store listings will stay the same as what you set previously.
