FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

How is distributor margin different from reseller margin here?

The math is the same shared engine, but the page framing is aimed at distributor-style channel pricing decisions.

Should extra selling costs include freight or handling?

Yes. Any order-level cost the distributor needs to absorb should be included so margin is not overstated.
