# Pricing

> Where your quoted price comes from: the carrier pricing engine, the deposit you collect, and optional three-tier pricing.

**Settings → Pricing** decides what a customer is quoted. Three tabs:
**Carrier pricing engine**, **Deposit price** and **Price tiers**.

## Carrier pricing engine

> Configure your preferred pricing engine for generating quotes. BeRocker AI is always available as
> the default option. To use Super Dispatch or Central Dispatch pricing, you'll need to provide your
> API credentials.

### Auto Price

> When a lead arrives, automatically calculate the price using the selected source and coefficient,
> and send the quote to the customer. Turn this off to quote incoming leads by hand.

The page tells you plainly which mode you are in:

* **Auto Price is ON** — new leads are priced and quoted automatically.
* **Auto Price is OFF** — *"New leads are not priced or quoted automatically — your team quotes them
  by hand."* The engine is still used for the price estimates shown when you add a vehicle or a
  shipment yourself.

### Choosing an engine

| Engine                               | Notes                                                                 |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **BeRocker AI Price**                | Always available. The default.                                        |
| **Super Dispatch Recommended Price** | Needs Super Dispatch connected, otherwise it shows **Not available**. |
| **Central Dispatch Price**           | Needs Central Dispatch connected.                                     |

Connect them in [Integrations](/settings/integrations).

### Correction factor

> Percentage applied to the recommended price. 100% uses it as-is; lower reduces the quote, higher
> increases it.

At 100% nothing changes. Set 110% and the app spells out the effect for you with a worked example
— a \$1,000 recommendation becomes \$1,100.

<Tip>
  Change the correction factor in small steps and watch your booking rate on the
  [Dashboard](/using/dashboard). It is the single fastest lever on both volume and margin, in both
  directions.
</Tip>

### Enclosed transport multiplier

Shown when Super Dispatch is your engine. Super Dispatch returns one **open**-trailer price, and the
enclosed quote is derived by multiplying it by this coefficient (between 0.1 and 10). There is a
sample-price box so you can see what any multiplier does before saving.

This setting is saved independently of Auto Price.

<Info>
  The bottom of this tab also shows the **Load boards** cards, so you can connect Super Dispatch or
  Central Dispatch without leaving the page if their price is showing as **Not available**.

## Deposit price

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/berocker/JlrUOS-Vn_pO8ZdT/images/settings/deposit-price.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JlrUOS-Vn_pO8ZdT&q=85&s=e047a82e593d506588dc80841f59c59e" alt="The Deposit price tab with lead-price brackets" width="3200" height="4800" data-path="images/settings/deposit-price.png" />
</Frame>

The deposit is what the customer pays you at booking. It is set with **brackets** by lead price.

> This page controls the deposit a customer pays to book a lead. Each row is a price bracket. For any
> lead, the system picks the **first** bracket whose *Lead price from / to* range contains the lead's
> price, then works out the deposit from that bracket's settings.

The formula for each bracket is:

```text theme={null}
deposit = (Percentage deposit × lead price) + Fixed deposit price
```

The table columns are **ID order · Lead price from · Lead price to · Fixed deposit price ·
Percentage deposit · Minimum deposit price · Actions**.

Each bracket has:

| Field                     | What it does                                                                         |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Lead price from / to**  | The price range this bracket covers. Leave **to** empty to mean "this price and up". |
| **Percentage deposit**    | A percentage of the lead price.                                                      |
| **Fixed deposit price**   | A flat amount added on top.                                                          |
| **Minimum deposit price** | The floor. If the calculated result is below it, the minimum is used instead.        |

**Add new range** creates another bracket.

### Worked example

A bracket with 10% percentage, \$100 fixed and a \$250 minimum:

| Lead price | Calculation                                        | Deposit   |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| \$2,000    | (10% × 2,000) + 100                                | **\$300** |
| \$500      | (10% × 500) + 100 = \$150, below the \$250 minimum | **\$250** |

<Info>
  The final amount is rounded up to the nearest \$10.

## Price tiers

> Offer your customers three price options instead of one — for example Standard, Rush and
> Expedited.

When enabled:

* The **booking page** shows all three options.
* The lead view gets a **tier switcher**.
* The **Update Price** form lets you edit all three tier prices independently.

### How the tiers get their numbers

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tier 1 is calculated">
    A new lead's Tier 1 gets the automatically calculated price — auto price + correction factor +
    deposit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tiers 2 and 3 are seeded from it">
    Using the **price markup** percentages you set here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="After that every tier is independent">
    You can edit each tier's price and deposit on the lead without affecting the others.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The customer picks one">
    On the booking page. The lead then keeps exactly one effective price — the selected tier's.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Each tier has a **name**, **description**, **subtext**, **price markup %**, and its own **deposit
mode and value**. A live preview shows how the three tiers will look on the booking page.

<Warning>
  New leads always start on Tier 1, and **changing markups here does not reprice existing leads.**
  Every tier needs a name before you can save.
</Warning>
