Fees and landed cost
The sticker price of a jar is not what the jar costs you. Add €30 of shipping to a €100 order and everything in the box just got 30% dearer. BatchDash treats those fees as part of the cost rather than letting them vanish into overhead.
Fee types
Section titled “Fee types”On the order page, the Fees & shipping card takes four kinds of fees:
- Delivery / shipping
- Payment fee (card or transfer charges)
- Platform fee (marketplace commission)
- Other, with a free label for anything else
Click Edit on the card, enter the amounts and save.
How fees spread across lines
Section titled “How fees spread across lines”Fees are split across lines in proportion to line value, then folded into each line’s cost.
An example. An order carries €200 of habaneros and €100 of jars, plus €30 of delivery. The habanero line absorbs €20 of it, the jar line €10. Each line shows the result in two columns: Allocated fees (its share) and Effective cost (the unit price with fees folded in).
That effective cost is the line’s landed cost: what the goods actually cost you once they reached your door. The concept has its own article: landed cost.
Where it ends up
Section titled “Where it ends up”Nothing moves while the order is a draft. When a line is received, its effective cost enters the ingredient’s weighted average cost, and from there every formula that uses the ingredient. Skip the fees and your recipes look cheaper than they are. Enter them and the margin you read is the margin you get.
