Why Set Up Labor Fees?
This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.
Charging for labor ensures your team’s time and effort is fairly compensated. You can choose to bill this as a flat rate, hourly charge, or a percentage of the order.

Step 1: Create a Labor Service
Go to “Inventory.”
Click “Add Product” under the “Services” category.
Choose “General Services.”
Add the labor details:
Name (e.g., “Setup Labor” or “Crew Hours”)
Description
Pricing structure (Flat Rate, Hourly, or Percentage of Order)
Step 2: Choose a Billing Structure
Option 1: Hourly-Based Fees
Ideal for defined time blocks (e.g., 2 hours of setup).
You can add a minimum charge (e.g., flat rate for up to 1 hour).
Option 2: Percentage-Based Fees
Best when labor scales with the size or cost of a project.
Example: Charge 15% of total tent rental costs.
Step 3: Organize Labor in Projects
Create a Line Item Group called “Services” (optional, but recommended).
Alternatively, group labor directly with the related items (e.g., tents) to show what the labor supports.
Final Tips
