Flat Rate Pricing in Ply: How to Make It Work with Kits
While Ply doesn’t have built-in flat rate pricing (yet!), many companies have found a solid workaround using Kits. If you're looking to implement a flat rate model for your materials and services, Kits might be the perfect solution.
How It Works
Kits allow you to bundle multiple materials together under a single price, creating a "group" cost. This makes it possible to charge a flat rate, even if the individual materials inside the kit have different costs elsewhere in your system.
Why Use Kits for Flat Rate Pricing?
✅ Consistent Pricing – Set a fixed price for a service or job, no matter the material costs.
✅ Multiple Price Tiers – You can create different Kits with different pricing, even if they contain the same materials.
✅ Easy to Manage – Instead of manually adjusting individual prices, just apply a Kit to your jobs.
Example: Flat Rate Service with Kits
Let’s say you offer a Standard AC Repair at a flat rate of $250. The repair includes:
- 1x AC Filter
- 1x Refrigerant Refill
- 1x Technician Labor
Instead of pricing each item separately, you can create a Kit called "Standard AC Repair" and set its total price to $250. Every time you apply this Kit to a job, it maintains that flat rate.
