Manufactured products that include a design element and are (often) customized for each order. Examples include banners, menu boards, yard signs, business cards, vehicle magnetics, door graphics, vehicle wraps, and much, much more.
Example:
Ideally, we would find another metal frame product and clone it as our starting point, but it won't take too long to set up manually either.
1. First, add a new product.
2. Enter the information on the General tab.
Name. Use a descriptive name that is meaningful to both the customer and your staff, such as “Yard Sign (Realty Pro)”.
Type of Product. Choose Manufactured.
Production Time. You can indicate a lead time range needed for this product. By default, this information is shown only to employees but if you check the “Show to Consumer” box then your end users will see those times when searching for products.
Categories. Select the
product_categories this product falls under, or click “Manage Categories” to add one a new one.
Tags. Tags can make the search process easier. Enter some meaningful search phrases here, separated by commas.
SKU. If you use SKU's, this can make the search process easier for your employees.
Search Description. This description appears before the user starts the ordering process (e.g., on the home screen). Enter a short text description that will help the customer understand the product, such as “24 inch x 24 inch customized Realty Pro Yard sign.”
Order Description. This description appears on the ordering detail screen and on the invoice. It should contain all the information the customer and your staff will need about the order. You can insert merge fields so Cyrious Online will automatically update attributes and other information. For example, enter “
quantity size Realty Pro Yard Sign.”
Active. Leave this product active. Setting a product inactive will remove it from all of the ordering screens. Leave it active for our example.
Don't Show this product before/after. For time-sensitive products, such as promotions, Cyrious Online can automatically limit the dates this product will appear. Leave these unchecked for our example.
Tax Classification. Manufactured items as usually “Goods”, so leave the default in place so Cyrious Online will tax it properly.
Your resulting screen might look like this:

3. Click on the “Next Step” or “Standard Attributes” Tab.
4. On this tab, enter the quantity and dimensional information for our product.
Limit to a list of quantities. We can restrict the user to buying certain batch sizes with this option. To require the user to purchase 50, choose this option and add quantities of 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 200. Set the initial quantity to 50.
Sizes. Even though in this example we don't need to use the size to compute pricing here, you must enter the actual size or Cyrious Online will not know the possible dimensions of the artwork. Choose the Fixed Size option with units of Inches. Enter 24“ x 24” as size, the height of 24, and the width of 24.
Allow Two Sided. Two sided always applies here, so we don't need to ask the user. Leave it unchecked.
Your resulting screen might look like this:

5. Click on the “Next Step” or “Pricing” Tab.
6. On this tab, enter the pricing information for our product.
Show price information in search results. Check this box, and choose the “Starting at” option. That will automatically display the lowest (high volume) price on the search screen.
Pricing. Choose “Fixed Price with Quantity Breakpoints”. The pricing you want is $8 up to 99, and 7 for more than 99. We don't need to create a separate price break for below 50 because the quantity the user can enter will be restricted. Add quantity breaks by clicking the “Add New Quantity Break” button.
Your resulting screen might look like this:
