Hanging Weight Pricing Without the Math
You price on hanging weight. Your customers pay a deposit, then the balance on the true hanging weight. The store does the arithmetic.
Set your price once
You set your price per pound of hanging weight on each share listing. One number. That's the last time you think about pricing until the animal is processed.
Enter one number
After processing, you type in the hanging weight for each order. One number per order. That's the only math you touch.
The store does the rest
The deposit comes off, the balance is figured from the hanging weight, and it's collected automatically. You never build an invoice. You never explain the math twice.
Your customers already understand paying on hanging weight. What confuses them is paying twice. The store splits it clean: deposit now, balance on the true hanging weight. Nothing to misunderstand.
