There are two ways to include your design fee in a Gather budget: a markup on each selection, or a separate line under Design Fees. Budgets are available on the Core Plus plan.
Choose How You Charge
Markup on each selection: you set a markup in each selection's pricing. Those markups add up in the view-only Product Markup row under Design Fees in your budget.
A separate design fee: you add your own row under Design Fees, either as a percentage of your items or as a lump sum.
Note: If you use both, your client pays a markup on each selection plus the separate fee. Use both only if you mean to charge both.
Add a Markup to Each Selection
Open the selection.
Go to the Pricing tab.
Enter the Markup.
You can also enter a default markup when you create a project with Manual Setup.
Add a Design Fee Row
Open your project's Budgets tab.
Under Design Fees, add a new row.
Choose a category, like Product Markup or Design Exploration.
Enter a lump sum or a percentage of your items.
Good to Know
Percentage rows: a percentage-of-items row recalculates as you add selections to the Working Budget, so you can see the full fee once all your selections are in.
Fixed fees: to record a fee that isn't based on your selections, use a lump sum instead of a percentage.
Categories: Design Exploration is one of the default design fee categories. You can rename categories in settings, so you may see different names.
Actuals: design fees don't appear in Actuals, because Actuals only come from purchase orders. Bill design fees from your accounting system.
