## Pricing Strategy

### Minimum Viable Price

```
Minimum Price = (Product Cost + Fees) / (1 - Target Margin)

Example:
Cost: ₹250
Target margin: 20%
Fees estimate: ₹180

Minimum = (₹250 + ₹180) / 0.8 = ₹537.50
```

### Competitive Pricing

1. Research competitor prices
2. Calculate your break-even
3. Set price for target margin
4. Factor in promotions

### Sale Event Planning

During sales:
- Commission stays same
- Seller absorbs discount
- Calculate break-even discount

```
Max Discount = Profit Margin - Minimum Margin

If margin is 25% and minimum is 10%:
Max discount = 15%
```
