Raise Flat Rate Prices Across Your Price Book in One Pass, With Undo

October 13, 2026 · 3 min read

On this page

Parts went up, labor went up, and your flat rate book still has last year’s prices. Raise Prices lets you apply one percent increase across many flat rates at once, check every new price before it goes live, and take it back if you got it wrong.

It replaces an afternoon of opening flat rates one by one with a single screen you can finish before the first truck rolls.

The Yearly Price Chore

Most shops raise prices once or twice a year. The hard part is not deciding the number. It is applying it to dozens or hundreds of flat rates without missing some, fat-fingering others, and having no record of what the old price was when a customer asks.

How Raise Prices Works

  1. Open the Flat Rates list and press Raise Prices.
  2. Enter the percent and choose the categories and location.
  3. Review the preview. Every affected flat rate shows its old price and its new price.
  4. Uncheck anything you want to leave alone, like a promo item or a price you just set.
  5. Apply. The checked flat rates update together in one step.

Built to Be Safe

  • Increases only, up to 50% per run, rounded to the nearest cent.
  • Only active, override-priced flat rates are touched. Computed-price and inactive flat rates are skipped.
  • No stale previews. If someone changed a price after you opened the preview, or you press Apply twice, nothing changes.
  • Owners and account admins only.

Your Pricing Schedules and the per-flat-rate increase button work the same as before.

History, CSV and Undo

Every run is saved with each flat rate’s old price and new price, and the name it had at the time. Open the history to see who raised what and when, download it as a CSV for your accountant, or press Undo. Undo works once per run and puts each flat rate back to its old price, skipping any whose price was changed since or that was deleted. Deleting a flat rate later does not erase its history.

Price changes are easier to make when they are easy to take back. That is the reason for the preview and the undo.

Price Edits From the Field

A related change shipped the same week. Team members who have permission to edit line item prices can now change a flat rate’s price on an invoice or estimate from the mobile apps too, not only service items. The parts inside the flat rate keep their price book prices, so job costing and tax stay right. In the office, the invoice and estimate pages show a small Edited from marker with the catalog price, so you can see when a price was changed. That marker never shows on PDFs, customer emails or the customer portal.

Included in the flat $40/user/month. Raise Prices is part of the price book in billing and revenue. Every feature, every user, no tiers.
