fulfillment option. As an example one could add a layout xml file that applies a one inch border on either side of an
image. (ex. 8x10 print is sent as an 8x12 with a border on the left and right sides). To select the Template file used,
click on the Import button at the bottom right and choose the properly formatted XML file to apply.
Note: For more information on setting up a properly formatted XML file, see the chapter on Template creation.

“Price Tiers” Tab Settings
Each and every product can allow for
quantity pricing discounts for your
customers.
For example, one 4x6 print is $0.19, but
if a customer purchases 10 or more, a

offering an 11% discount.
To set up a product pricing scheme, do
the following:
1. Click on the Add New Price
Tier option

based on the base price.
