Custom options for self-fulfilled products

I'd like to be able to add some options for customers to choose from on self-fulfilled products. Such as paper type, colors, finish, etc. A few preset ones would be fine along with the option to add my own.

I think Shipping Options for Premium members would be a good topic to have a video or webcast about. There is a lot of confusion within Zenfolio's own support ranks on how the Small/Medium/Large/XLarge shipping options are handled within the tool and it is not clear at all in the documentation how products need to be set up to trigger the different sizes.

The last support rep told me that in order for a medium size package to be used the client would need to order both a small size product AND a medium size product, in which case the small product would then be shipped with the medium product. The documentation makes it sound like when you order enough of a small product, it will use the medium package price when necessary. Quote: "*A self-fulfilled product is only designed to use one package size. By entering the number of smaller packages that will fit inside the next size up, an order for that product will be able to ship using that next size up when warranted." The "when warranted" part is not defined at all.

What we need is to be able to allow the number of small packages dictate whether a medium package should be used or the number of medium packages to dictate whether a large package should be used. I honestly don't see how it's set up now would even be possible or practical for self-fulfilled products.

For example, I offer a special calendar that I make and sell. This is a small package if they only order one, which most people do, but many clients order 6 or 10 of them to give out as Christmas gifts. I'd like to be able to say that if they order 3 calendars, it is bumped up to a medium shipping option. If they order 10, it is considered large. If they order 20, it is X-Large. As it is now, if they order 10, it multiplies the small size price by 5. So even though I can get close to a fair price for shipping, I'm undercharging most people, and overcharging others. I ended up setting the small package shipping to $1.75 so I didn't end up cheating the clients ordering more product at one time (who actually should be getting a better shipping deal anyway). I was told to offer a coupon to make up the difference, but that only makes sense if EVERYONE gets the coupon. You can't just offer some people and not others.

More common sense and intuitive shipping methods for self-fulfilled products!

This feature has been reviewed and given the current roadmap this will unfortunately be not able to happen in 2016. We will reassess at a later time.
