Using Price Tables within Services – Print Reach Help Center

Overview

If you want to use a more sophisticated “market-pricing” option for pricing a Service, use the Price Table instead of the Run Table. The Price Table, with its multiple user-definable columns and rows and its additional calculation methods, offers greater flexibility in the pricing process.

Info: Price Tables are ideal for Services with complex pricing strategies that vary by quantity, size, or other conditions.
