In Silkfair > My Store Profile (
https://secure.silkfair.com/mysilk/store), sellers can set up reusable templates Pricing Profiles, Shipping Profiles and Tax Profiles to make it easier to create and maintain listings. Each profile is a template, and the purpose of the templates are so that when you create multiple listings of similar attributes, you can save the effort in having to re-key the same things in over and over across multiple listings.
So, for example, let's say that you want to sell 5 different kinds of widgets such as mattress, each with an attribute type of Size, where you want to charge Twin size for 1 price, Queen Size for another price, and King Size for a third price. You can create a Pricing Profile to accomodate those 3 varying sizes, and either create 1 listing for all 5 different types of mattresses, or 5 separate listings, but ease the definition of the sizes by selecting the Pricing Profile at the time of listing creation.
Here is an example : let's say that you are selling 10 different kinds of mailing address labels :
60 (6 Sheets) LARGE Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $10
480 (48 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $70
240 (24 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $37
120 (12 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $19.20
30 (3 Sheets) LARGE Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $5
480 (16 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $40
240 (8 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $22
120 (4 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $12
60 (2 Sheets) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - 47
30 (1 Sheet) Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo - $3.5
In Silkfair, by setting up the price profile template, you only need to create and maintain 1 listing instead of 10 different listings. If you want 10 different listings still, you can still do that.
A sample profile has been created in
http://www.sandboxsf.com to accommodate this has been set up . The sample includes the following :
1 - a Price Option template
2 - a Shipping template
3 - a Tax template
So, please try this to see :
1 - go to
http://www.sandboxsf.com - this is a test sandbox area.
2 - log in as userID : seller , password : seller
3 - on the top menu next to where the seller ID label is located, click on My Store / and then click on Manage My Store
4 - Scroll down the Store Profile, and you'll see Pricing Profile section. There are 2 profiles set. Click on the 2nd one named "Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo", and you can see a sample. You don't need to do anything here. If you want it, you can export this profile by clicking on the 'export button' located a little bit below the Priceing Profile label section. You can then import it back into your own store profile in
http://www.silkfair.com5 - We selected the Price Attribute "Type". If you don't like that label, you can select "custom", and then make your own attribute name.
6 - Scroll further down in the Store Profile, and you'll see Tax Profile. We created the profile "no taxes" for your example. Again, you can export/import this profile template if you wish.
7 - Scroll a bit further down, and you'll see Shipping Profile. We created the profile "Custom Mailing Address Labels Promo". You can also export/import this profile template.
NOTE : You can select a price profile or shipping profile or tax profile to be the default. So, when you create a new listing, the default selection for price / shipping / tax will be automatically selected and filled in for your new listing. Of course, you can over-ride any of these options any time.
