Use them when one event needs values that differ from your usual Event Settings. Changing these values does not change the workspace defaults or other existing events. ## Review the event's pricing assumptions Open **Details > Markups** to see the values used by this event. Select **Edit Settings** to change them. The **Edit Markups** dialog groups the event's Design Fee, flower and hard-good multipliers, and labor assumptions. Review the section labels before changing a value so you know which calculation it affects.
FlowerBuddy Edit Markups dialog showing Design Fee, Flower Cost, Hard Good Rental, Hard Good Sale, and In Studio Labor Hourly Rate fields for one event.
### Design Fee and multipliers **Design Fee (%)** is an optional pricing increase based on the arrangement's combined flower, hard-good, and labor costs. It is not another labor or overhead cost, and the percentage is not the same as a target profit margin. **Flower Cost**, **Hard Good Rental**, and **Hard Good Sale** are multipliers used when FlowerBuddy calculates suggested prices from those costs. They do not change the underlying cost entered for an item. ### Labor The labor settings provide separate assumptions for: * **In Studio Labor Hourly Rate** and **In Studio Labor Multiplier**; * **On Site Labor Hourly Rate** and **On Site Labor Multiplier**; and * **Default Labor Percent** and **Labor Multiplier (Percent Based)**. Direct labor describes hands-on work for the design. Choose the method that matches how a recipe calculates its labor rather than adding every method to the same work automatically. **In Studio** means making the design before delivery; **On Site** means work such as installation at the event location. An hourly rate estimates what that work costs your business. A multiplier determines how much that cost contributes to the suggested selling price. For example, 30 minutes at $30 per hour costs $15; a multiplier of 1.5 contributes $22.50 to the suggested price. **Default Labor Percent** supplies a percentage assumption, while **Labor Multiplier (Percent Based)** changes its contribution to suggested price. See [percentage-based labor example](/reference/event-page/recipes/set-recipe-quantities-pricing-and-labor.md#percentage-based-labor-example) for the calculation and derived time estimate. ### Overhead and calculated costs **Indirect Labor Percent**, **Owner Labor Percent**, **Facilities Overhead Percent**, and **General Overhead Percent** add business costs to the event's cost and profit estimates. They are not automatically separate client charges. **Account For FlowerBuddy Fee** and **Account For Payment Processing Fee** control whether those estimated costs are included in suggested prices for this event. An applicable fee can still appear in event Cost and reduce Est. Profit when its switch is off. **Account For Payment Processing Fee** does not add a fee to the client's payment. A separate **Enable Application Fee** setting under **Details > Payments > Configure Settings** controls that charge when available. Review [application fees](/reference/event-page/details/configure-payment-options.md#configure-application-fees) when deciding how your business handles processing costs. Use **Round Suggested Prices** to choose how FlowerBuddy rounds its calculated suggestions. This changes suggested prices, not a selling price you already chose without reviewing it. The controls in **Edit Markups** save as they change. Select **Close** after reviewing the summary. ## Configure automatic payment notifications Open **Details > Settings** and select **Edit Settings**. Under **Payment Notification Emails**, choose which automatic notices apply to this event: * **Upcoming Payment: 7 Days** * **Upcoming Payment: 3 Days** * **Payment Due** * **Payment Overdue: 3 Days** * **Payment Overdue: 7 Days** These settings control future automatic messages. Changing a switch does not send an email immediately. A manual **Send Payment Reminder** on a payment row is a separate action. Automatic reminders apply to **Booked** and **Completed** events with an enabled schedule and an eligible unpaid amount, not to **Inquiry** or **Proposal** events. Review the [reminder eligibility and signing requirements](/reference/event-settings/auto-email/configure-payment-notification-emails.md#check-which-events-receive-reminders) when a notice is expected. To stop reminders for this event, turn off its switches here; changing Event Settings alone does not change this event's saved choices. These reminder switches are separate from **Enable Web Payments**. Disabling automatic emails does not hide the payment schedule or add a payment button in the Client Portal. ## Configure the event display Under the view settings: * **View Profit as Percent** chooses whether the event summary shows estimated profit as a percentage or currency amount. * **Price Warning Tolerance** sets the allowed difference before FlowerBuddy shows a price warning. * **Date Format** controls how dates are displayed for this event. These controls also save as they change. Select **Close**, then confirm the chosen values in the **Settings** summary. Changing calculations can affect suggested prices, costs, and profit estimates across the event. Review the event summary and affected recipes after changing a pricing assumption.
