How to Override Minimums, Setup Fees, and Discounts for Pre-Decorated Products

When managing affiliate stores in DecoNetwork, fulfillment centers often require full control over pricing and production workflows. By overriding standard pricing rules and optional approval steps, you can streamline operations, simplify order processing, and maintain consistent margins across affiliate stores.

Why override pricing and approvals?

In most affiliate setups, the Fulfillment Center manages the store rather than the affiliate owner. This means you may need tighter control over pricing and production workflows.

• Control pricing flexibility: Sell products below wholesale or adjust margins as needed
• Remove restrictions: Ignore minimum quantities, setup fees, and pricing rules
• Simplify product setup: Create pre-decorated products without constraints
• Speed up production: Skip artwork approvals to reduce processing time

These settings are especially useful for campaign stores, promotional sites, and bulk order workflows where speed and simplicity are critical.

Step 1: Configure pricing overrides for decorated products

1. Navigate to Admin → Websites → [Select Store] → Administration.
2. Click Decorated Products.
3. Enable the following options as needed:
   • Ignore quantity rules
   • Ignore setup fees
   • Ignore quantity discounts
   • Ignore blank product color differences
4. Click Save.

Step 2: Skip artwork approvals for faster processing

1. In the same Administration area, locate Artwork Approvals.
2. Enable the option to ignore artwork approvals for this store.
3. Click Save.

Best-practice tips

• Use pricing overrides for campaign stores and bulk workflows
• Keep standard pricing rules enabled for custom or high-variance orders
• Document any overrides so your team understands pricing behavior
• Test a sample order to confirm pricing behaves as expected

Troubleshooting

Pricing looks incorrect

• Check if override options are enabled
• Confirm product pricing was manually set after overrides

Orders skipping approval unexpectedly

• Verify artwork approval settings are enabled or disabled as intended
• Check if the setting is applied at the store level

Minimum quantities still applied

• Ensure Ignore quantity rules is checked
• Re-save settings and refresh the product configuration
