Pricing and quotes — how we calculate
How Pricing and quotes runs at merch.am: steps, timelines and AMD prices when the choice is driven by a transparent sheet.
What this page is
A price is built from three parts — the item, the decoration and the delivery — and every position enters the quote without hidden lines. This page answers the practical questions: which steps exist, how long each takes and which documents accompany the process.
In Armenia a price wins trust not by being low but by reading clearly — in AMD, with 20% VAT spelled out. In the case of Pricing and quotes that means one point of contact, one AMD invoice and deadlines fixed in writing.
How the work runs
The quote arrives as a sheet: for every position a price in AMD, the print type and the minimum run. As the run grows the price steps down, and those steps show in the same sheet so the client can compare two volumes at a glance.
The core steps of the Pricing and quotes track:
- Pricing and quotes: explaining the unit price
- Pricing and quotes: correct VAT treatment
- Pricing and quotes: the staged payment plan
What we watch for
The risk we watch during Pricing and quotes is this: The risk is hidden lines: a price without delivery and decoration spelled out creates a wrong expectation and a dispute at the finish. That is why every step carries a written confirmation and its own owner.
The engine is a transparent sheet: if the offer does not read along that axis, the Pricing and quotes programme loses its point. We build along exactly that axis, measured by the price structure and manageable minimums.
