# Pricing Strategy

## Pricing Psychology Notes
## Add-On Services
1. **Anchor on time saved** - Luxembourg has high labor costs. 5 hours/month at EUR 25/hour = EUR 125. Our EUR 49 plan is "obviously worth it."
### One-Time Services
2. **Professional tier is the target** - Starter exists to make Professional look reasonable. Most vendors should land on Professional.
| Service | Price | Description |
|---------|-------|-------------|
| Onboarding & Training | EUR 149 | 1-hour session + setup assistance |
| Data Migration | EUR 299 | Import existing products/orders from spreadsheets |
| Custom Invoice Template | EUR 99 | Branded invoice design |
3. **No per-order fees** - Unlike Letzshop's commission model, our flat fee means the more they sell, the better the value.
### Monthly Add-Ons
4. **Annual commitment = lower churn** - 17% discount is significant enough to encourage annual.
| Add-On | Price | Description |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| Additional Team Member | +EUR 9/user/mo | Beyond plan limit |
| Additional Vendor Account | +EUR 29/mo | For Professional tier |
| Extended History | +EUR 19/mo | Unlimited history for Essential |
5. **Free trial removes friction** - 30 days is enough to become dependent on the automation.
---
## Pricing Psychology
### Why This Structure Works
1. **Essential (EUR 49) creates entry point**
- Low enough to try without much deliberation
- Genuinely useful for small operations
- Natural limits trigger upgrades organically
2. **Professional (EUR 99) is the target tier**
- EU VAT invoicing is the killer feature (compliance fear)
- Most active vendors will need this
- Price feels reasonable for operational software
3. **Business (EUR 199) provides anchor**
- Makes Professional look affordable
- Captures high-value customers
- Multi-vendor is a clear enterprise need
4. **No per-order fees**
- Unlike Letzshop's commission model
- The more you sell, the better the value
- Predictable costs for budgeting
5. **Annual = lower churn**
- 17% discount is meaningful
- 2 months free is easy to understand
- Reduces monthly cancellation opportunity

## Sales Guidance
### Qualifying Questions
1. "How many orders do you process per month?"
- <100 → Essential
- 100-500 → Professional
- 500+ → Business
2. "Do you ship to other EU countries?"
- Yes → Professional minimum (VAT invoicing)
- No → Essential may suffice
3. "How many people handle orders?"
- 1 → Essential
- 2-3 → Professional
- 4+ → Business
4. "Do you have multiple Letzshop accounts?"
- Yes → Business
### Objection Handling
**"EUR 49 is too much for what I get"**
> "How much time do you spend on manual order entry and spreadsheets each month? At EUR 25/hour, 2 hours of saved time pays for itself."
**"I can do this with spreadsheets"**
> "You can, until you oversell because inventory wasn't updated, or your accountant flags incorrect VAT. How much does one of those mistakes cost?"
**"Why do I need Professional for EU invoices?"**
> "EU VAT rules are complex - wrong rate, wrong country, wrong invoice = compliance issues. We handle this automatically so your accountant doesn't have to fix it."
