At a minimum, you will need the following for each website:

  2. Average mark-up or margin on products (%)
  3. Average cost of shipping per order ex-VAT
  4. Average payment processing fee per order (%)

Please note that specific Shipping method costs and Payment method costs will still need to be set up after we have started receiving orders.


Part 4: Install the Zoom app


During our onboarding call we will request control of your mouse for a smoother onboarding process. Please ensure that you have the app installed, and are not joining through the browser as we cannot request control of your mouse without the app.
