FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

What counts as extra costs for a reseller?

Use per-unit costs the reseller still carries, such as labeling, prep, handling, or local delivery.

Why show markup on investment too?

Because some channel partners think in return on cost, while others care more about the final margin at the selling price.
