How the margin is worked out
Margin per pack = suggested vend price, minus our price per pack, minus the service fee share. The service fee share is our price multiplied by 0.0311 (the 3.11% service fee on your products). The margin percentage is the margin divided by the vend price. All money is rounded to cents.
What these figures leave out
- Regular price only. The table uses our regular price. Approved members pay less, so their margin is higher.
- Before your card-reader fee. To include it, take the margin per pack and subtract your reader's fee on one vend (a percentage of the vend price, plus any flat amount per sale).
- Before any location revenue share. If you pay a venue a share of sales, subtract that share of the vend price too.
- Before postage. Standard shipping is free on orders of $2,500 and up; below that you pay postage at cost. Divide your postage by the number of packs in the order to get a per-pack figure.
Using the table
- Pick the sets you plan to load and note each one's margin.
- Subtract your own per-vend costs from the formula above.
- Put your highest-margin sets in your best spirals and re-check the table before each order.
The suggested vend price is a guide, not a promise of what your location will pay. Set your own price for your own buyers.
