Charge a Per-Cut Fee for Cutting Services
- NewYou can now charge customers for cutting, priced per cut and based on how many designs are on their sheet. Open any Fixed sizes, Rolling sheet, or EZ Auto-Build product in Gangio and turn on Cutting Service under Additional Options. Shopify needs a real product to charge the fee, so enter your price per cut — $0.20, say — and click "Create it for me"; Gangio makes the product, gives it a scissors image, and keeps it unlisted so it never shows up in your store's search or collections. If you already have a cutting product, you can pick that instead. Then choose whether cutting is Optional (customers see a checkbox in the builder and decide, pre-ticked if you like) or Required (added to every sheet), and rename the label customers see if "Cutting service" isn't the wording you use. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
- NewIn the storefront builder, the cutting option sits just above Add to Cart and shows your per-cut price, with the running cut count and cutting subtotal updating as the customer adds designs. One cut is one design on the sheet, multiplied by the number of copies ordered — a sheet with 15 designs ordered twice is 30 cuts. When they add to cart, the sheet and a separate "Cutting service" line (quantity equal to the number of cuts) go in together, so the fee is plain to see at checkout and on the order rather than buried in the sheet price. If the customer edits the sheet from the cart, the cutting line is updated to match. The same works in EZ Auto-Build, where the checkbox appears in the image picker.
- NewEvery gang sheet that was cut carries a cutting badge — "Cutting: 30 cuts" — on your Orders page and in the Gangio block on the Shopify order page, so your production team knows what to cut without opening the cart lines. If a customer asked for cutting but the fee line was removed before checkout, the badge says so ("Cutting requested, fee not in order"), and you can decide whether to cut anyway. Cutting revenue counts toward the usual 3% usage fee in the same way as sheet revenue.
- ImprovedA cutting fee can never block a sale. The option only appears in the builder once the fee product is published to your Online Store; until then — or if the product is ever unpublished or deleted — Gangio hides it and sheets add to cart exactly as they always have, while the product's settings card in Gangio flags "Needs attention" so you know what to fix. The card shows the product's live status, a one-click "Open in Shopify" link, and a "Re-check" button for after you've published it.
- NewThe merchant help page has a new Cutting service fee section, with its own entry in the table of contents, that walks through setup with screenshots of the settings card and the builder, explains how cuts are counted, and covers what the cutting badges on your orders mean. Two new FAQs — how to charge for cutting, and why the option might not be showing in the builder — are on the help page and in the in-app Help.
