Pricing
- Price: Add the selling price you want to use.
- Compare-at price: This section is for you if you want to examine how your product appears both before and after a discount. Add your product price before the discount. The discounted price will be calculated and displayed to users as a percentage.
- Mark 'Charge tax on this product' if you charge tax.
- Cost per item: Add your product's original price.
- Profit and Margin will be calculated automatically once you add the cost per item.
For instance, if a product costs $85 to produce but costs $100 to sell, the profit and margin will be calculated automatically to demonstrate to the business owner how much progress he has made.
Note that cost per item, Profit, and Margin are only for the business owner, as users won't be able to see these choices as it calculates and tracks how much money you have made with your business.
