FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Why not price from margin instead of markup?

You can do either, but markup is often the faster starting point when wholesale cost is the clearest number available.

Should shipping or overhead be included in wholesale cost?

Include any per-unit costs you need the sale to recover. If they affect every unit, they belong in the base cost.
