Instead of typing a sale price for each product, you enter the cost and the markup, and Jarbas works out the price for you. When the cost changes, the price follows.

How to turn it on

1. Open the product.
2. In the Sale Price field, tap the gear icon (Price Settings).
3. Turn on the Automatic switch, next to the sale price.
4. Fill in the Cost Price and the Markup (as a %).
5. Tap Save.

The sale price is worked out like this:

Sale price = cost + (cost × markup ÷ 100)

E.g. a cost of $20 with an 80% markup → a sale price of $36.

What changes once it's on

• The Sale Price field becomes read-only. It's now the result of the calculation.
• Every time you change the Cost Price, the sale price is recalculated right away.
• The product shows the note Automatic markup enabled.

If the product has variations

Variations are recalculated too — each one from its own cost. A variation that costs more comes out at a higher price, using the same markup.

Variations with no cost price filled in are left alone.

Markup is not profit margin

They're two different sums, and mixing them up is the most common mistake:

• Markup is how much you add on top of the cost.
• Profit margin is how much is left out of the sale price.

A 100% markup (cost $20, sale $40) is a 50% margin, not a 100% one.

That's why, just under the price, Jarbas shows both: Markup: X% | Profit Margin: Y% ($ Z). That line only appears for admins.

To go back to a manual price

Open Price Settings again, turn off the Automatic switch and type whatever price you want.
