How the tools work together

The shop loop is add a product, optionally check an order, record production, then see what changed. Other tools answer a specific question. You can stop at any step.

Start with a Product if you want to compare estimates with real jobs. Quick Order is optional: it shows what an order should earn and does not save a production record or change the Product. Production Actuals creates the record when you confirm Create production record. Shop Learning then shows grams and time. Profit Leak shows where the dollars differed. See How the shop loop works for the full path.

Print Profit gives you a cost and a suggested price for one item. That is a one-off estimate — not a locked-in catalog price, and not a production record.

Saved Products (Seller Pro) stores a product on your account so you can open it later, edit it, or duplicate it. Calculators do not copy those saved numbers in for you. Open the product, then type the numbers you need into the calculator. The calculator still does its own math.

Seller Pro answers selling questions: batch quotes, marketplace take-home, discounts, rush fees, waste, wholesale. Bulk Order Planning answers a different question: what it takes to make a large order (plates, hours, material). It is not a price quote and it does not create a production record.

Multiple Printer Manager is for assigning jobs across named machines. Quotes & Production Reports turns numbers you already have into a customer quote or a shop worksheet. It does not decide the correct price and it does not take payment.

A one-printer seller can live in the shop loop. Farm steps are optional until the work needs them. PrintProfit3D does not automatically rewrite a Product from what it learned.

Quick tip

Saving a product does not freeze a production estimate. Confirm Create production record for that.
