Did You Know: Flat Fee Attributes vs. Line Charge Attributes
Attributes are options you can add to parts that don’t require creating different SKUs. For example, a promotional thumb drive could come in 8GB and 16GB versions and you could use attributes to allow users to choose a version.
You can add costs to attributes as well. Going with the previous example, you could make choosing the 16GB version add a $5 charge. These attribute costs come in two types: Flat Fee and Line Charge.
Flat Fee: The additional cost applies just once to the order line regardless of the quantity. Ex. If you order 10 16GB thumb drives there would be a $5 surcharge added to the order line.
Line Charge: The additional cost is applied per quantity. Ex. if you order 10 16GB thumb drives, each would have a $5 surcharge for a total $50 added to the order line.
Benefits to the Customer
