FlexiFeesEngraving & personalization fees on Shopify
Last updated: July 18, 2026
Personalization costs machine time, so charge it per personalized item: your engraving field saves a line item property, and a fixed per-product fee with the condition Engraving:* (any value) charges exactly the lines that carry text. Plain items of the same product stay free, and the fee scales with quantity.
The rule in FlexiFees
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Fee title | Engraving |
| Calculation | Fixed amount, per product fee |
| Amount | 7.50 per engraved item |
| SKU | ENGRAVE |
| Condition | Line item property is one of Engraving:* |
The asterisk means "property present with any value", the exact shape engraving text takes. The Shopify community has asked for years how to price custom text without variant gymnastics; the property plus a conditional fee is the clean answer.
Pricing patterns
- Tiered options: distinct properties (Monogram, Full engraving) each get their own fee and amount.
- Percentage instead: a percentage per-product fee suits personalization priced relative to item value.
- Only some products: add a tag condition so the fee is limited to engravable products even if the property sneaks onto others.
