Define it once. It applies to every line.
Brikl upcharges are the money that sits on top of — or comes back off — a sell price. A fundraiser pays margin out to a group, an extra charge covers added cost, a rebate credits money back. Set one up in a library, apply it to a catalog, and every order charges it the same way.
Three types, and they don’t do the same job
Most systems have one concept called “a fee” and leave you to remember what each one was for. These are three, named for what they actually do.
Fundraiser
Pays margin out.
A share of every item goes to the group the programme is for — a booster club, a school, a cause. The customer pays more, and the difference is money the organisation collects. Set a goal and the record tracks what's been collected against it.
Extra charge
Covers added cost.
The work that costs you something and used to get absorbed: a second logo placement, a name-and-number set, rush production, an oversize garment. Defined once in the library, applied everywhere it belongs.
Rebate
Credits money back after the order.
The customer pays the ordinary price, and an amount comes back to them once the order lands — usually past a threshold you set. Volume agreements and negotiated rebates stop being a spreadsheet and a promise.
Each is charged as a fixed amount or a percentage of the item’s sell price, and applied on top of it. A percentage scales with the order; a flat amount doesn’t. That’s the whole configuration.
See the math
What the customer pays, on a round hundred
Every upcharge prices a round hundred-dollar order at the foot of its record, so the shape of it is visible before it goes anywhere near a live catalog: what the customer pays, and how much the upcharge added or took off.
Open the math and it’s laid out step by step — the items in the order, the upcharge and how it was calculated, and the total — with a line naming where the money goes. A fundraiser says how much reaches the organisation. A rebate says how much comes back.
A percentage upcharge is a share of the items, before shipping and tax. The panel says so in as many words, which is the sort of thing that saves an argument three months later.
Getting to live
Three steps, and it tells you where you are
An upcharge that exists but is applied nowhere collects nothing. So the record keeps a checklist, and the finish line is the upcharge charging on catalog pricing.
Create it
Name it and save it. It now exists in your upcharge library, available to every catalog.
Configure it
Pick the type, choose a fixed amount or a percentage, set the value — plus a goal, a minimum order amount, or a schedule if the programme needs one.
Apply it in a catalog
Add it from a catalog's pricing step. Once it's applied, every order in that catalog charges it, and the record says how many catalogs are live.
A goal, and how far along it is
A fundraiser carries the total it aims to collect, and the record shows what it has collected against that as a bar — including how far past the target it has gone. That is the number the club asks for at the end of the season, and it doesn’t have to be assembled from order reports.
One library, every programme in it
Embroidery on the left chest. A name-and-number set. Rush production. An oversize garment. A booster club’s share. They live in the same list, and each row answers what it is, what it charges and what it has brought in.
Status
Active means it's charging on new orders in every catalog it's applied to. Off holds it as a draft, fully configured.
Type
Fundraiser, extra charge or rebate — on the row, because the three behave differently and shouldn't look alike.
Value
A percentage or a flat amount, whichever the upcharge uses.
Collected
What this upcharge has actually brought in. The number a booster club will ask you for.
Catalog count
How many catalogs it's applied in — the fastest way to spot one that was created and never used.
Customer and owner
The account it belongs to, and who on your team is responsible for it.
Adding one is a pick and a name — extra charge, fundraiser or rebate, with a starter value set for you. It collects nothing until a catalog applies it. See Create from anywhere.
Where it’s applied, and who it’s for
The record opens beside the list and carries everything about one upcharge.
Used in
Every catalog the upcharge is applied in, with its status and product count — and the item-level links inside it. Unlinking affects new orders only, so history stays intact.
Configuration
Type, value, goal or minimum order amount, and the schedule. An internal description customers never see.
People
The customer the programme belongs to and the owner on your team, each with their organization and role.
Settings & activity
Archive it to hide it from new catalogs while existing orders keep it, and read the timeline of what changed and who changed it.
What people actually run through this
All of it used to be a spreadsheet, an agreement in an email, and somebody’s memory.
Booster club programmes
A share of every item goes to the club, tracked against a season goal.
School and cause fundraising
The same mechanism, sold through a store the organisation shares with its own community.
Decoration upcharges
A second placement, a name-and-number set, a specialty stitch — priced once and applied wherever it belongs.
Rush and expedite fees
A percentage or a flat charge for a shortened lead time, added on the line rather than negotiated per order.
Oversize garments
The extra cost on larger sizes, applied consistently instead of being absorbed.
Volume rebates
An amount credited back once an order passes a threshold, with the threshold enforced by the platform.
