This allows you to set prices for all assets based on the size of the download requested by teh user. The larger the file, then the more you can charge. Price bands make it easy to apply pricing across your Asset Bank and is useful when you only want to differentiate prices based on the quality of the image requested (i.e. where pricing is standard across all the assets).

 

When setting a price band you will be asked to enter the following:

 

Asset Type: Which types of files should this purchase option show for? File, image, audio or video. You may want to have one price for videos for example, that are different from image files.

 

Name: What will be the display name for this purchase type? E.g. "1. Small (500 x 500)"

 

Description: An internal note field, only visible on this Price Band Admin Area

 

Base price: The price associated with this price band – VAT will be added if set up in the Tax area.

 

Advanced download: Whether or not to allow the advanced download tab for this purchase type. Note, this allows the user to re-size the asset, crop, change the dpi, etc. So this should only be used for the highest resolution (most expensive) download option – as allowing it on lower resolution options would effectively enable the user to get a higher quality version for the lower price.

Is Commercial: This is an optional item that allows you to suggest to the user that there is an option to buy off-line (e.g. by invoice). The purchase would then not go through the PSP (online payment service provider) but instead be dealt with by the system administrators.

The admin will then receive an email (if they have receives alerts ticked), notifying them that they have a commercial order to approve.

They can then visit:

"Admin > Orders > Commercial orders" and manage these payments from here.
