I am opening a print shop that will offer full color prints and blueprints sets. I have it set up where the user can upload a file but how do I charge pre page? Right now it is acting like its only one page but the PDF may have 30 pages that need to be printed.
Topic summary
A print shop owner needs to implement per-page pricing for blueprint and full-color print orders where customers upload PDF files.
Current Issue:
- The system treats multi-page PDFs as single-page uploads
- A 30-page PDF is being charged as one page instead of 30
Proposed Solution:
- Create product variants for different page counts (e.g., “1 page - $X”, “2 pages - $Y”)
- Customers would manually select the number of pages they need printed
Limitation:
- This approach relies on customer honesty, as the uploaded PDF remains a single file regardless of page count
- The system cannot automatically detect and charge for individual pages within a multi-page PDF
The discussion remains open with no automated solution identified for accurately counting and charging per page from uploaded files.
you can create a set of variant for each page example
1 page this is the price and then they will select the number of pages
but yes the pdf that the user will upload tthat will be one single as the user themself may not have a pdf broken in different pages as separate for each page if there are multiple pages involved
