Additional Services in Quoting

Add custom costs to quotes — and keep customers fully informed.

DigiFabster’s Additional Services feature allows you to easily include custom cost items in any quote or order. Whether you’re charging for special handling, rush service, custom packaging, or any non-standard process, this tool gives you the flexibility to keep pricing accurate and communication clear.

It’s a great fit for machine shops, fabrication companies, 3D printing services, and other on-demand manufacturers managing custom jobs or one-off client needs.

🔧 What It Does

With Additional Services, you can:

• Add custom cost lines to any quote or order
• Include:
  • Handling fees
  • Setup surcharges
  • Special processing or post-production
  • Non-standard delivery or compliance costs
• Write a clear description for each added service, visible to the customer
• Trigger an automatic notification when a new cost is added — ensuring the client is aware of the change
• Keep all cost items organized and transparent in the final quote or invoice

This helps maintain trust and accuracy within your cost calculator, manufacturing estimating, and quote software processes.
