SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING QUANTITY TIERS USING ATTRIBUTES IN AN ONLINE STATIONERY DESIGN SYSTEM

摘要

A computer-implemented system and method are described in which an appropriate pricing structure for a new design of a print product is identified by automatically comparing attributes of the print product design with attributes of existing print product designs which have assigned pricing structures. In one embodiment, the attributes are prioritized such that certain attributes are weighted more than other attributes when determining an appropriate price structure. If a match is not found, then the least significant attribute is removed from the set of search criteria and another search is performed. This process continues until an existing pricing structure of a print product which shares the most significant attributes of the new print product is identified. Once the pricing structure is identified, the designer has the option to modify the pricing structure and create a new pricing category, which is then stored in a database with other pricing categories.
