Set pricing goals and apply suggested prices

Enter the costs that belong in the sale

In the product formulation editor, open Pricing goal. Enter Profit margin goal, Packaging per sale, Labor minutes per batch, hourly rate, and overhead when those costs matter to your business.

The suggested price is advisory. It is calculated from total cost and target margin, rounded up to the next cent, and disabled when required lines are unresolved, unpriced, or unconvertible.

1. Resolve ingredient costs first.
2. Enter a realistic target margin rather than copying a competitor’s price.
3. Add packaging, labor, and overhead only once each.
4. Review the Cost summary and any warnings.
5. Select Apply suggested price only when the result fits your market.

What customers see

Customers see the saved storefront price. Previewing or calculating a suggestion does not change that price. Applying a suggestion is an explicit action.

Common problems

• Price suggestion is blank: find the incomplete line in the review warnings.
• Margin looks too high or low: confirm packaging and labor scope, units per sale, and the product’s selling price.
• Manual price is retained: expected; suggestions never sync automatically without Apply.

Next steps

• Resolve cost warnings
• Map variant quantities
• Publish storefront ingredients
