Why Knomart Uses Fixed Pricing

What fixed pricing means

The merchant chooses which apps to install rather than negotiating a custom monthly subscription with an individual agent. Each trade app carries its own published monthly price, from $4 to $40, and a merchant's monthly total is simply the sum of the apps they install. A free tier exists at $0.

The setup fee follows the level the merchant is onboarded at: $10 at free, $20 at standard and $50 at premium. The merchant pays the setup fee, and the Agent keeps 100% of it.

It keeps the conversation simple

An Agent can explain the available options without inventing a special price for each merchant. The merchant can compare the tiers and decide which one fits the business.

This also keeps the Agent's role focused on helping the merchant understand the product and choose appropriately, rather than deciding how much to charge that particular business.

It creates consistency

• Same tiers: Merchants are choosing from the same basic pricing structure.
• Clear expectations: The merchant knows the subscription price before committing.
• Less negotiation: The Agent does not need to bargain over the recurring price.
• Cleaner Agent economics: On paid tiers, the Agent's commission is based on the merchant's actual payment under the standard 50% model.

Fixed pricing does not mean one tier fits everyone

The point is not to make every business use the same plan. The tiers exist so a merchant can start with the level that makes sense for its current needs.

A business can start Free. If its needs change, it can move to a paid tier. The choice remains with the merchant; fixed pricing simply makes the available options clear.

Why this matters to Agents

Fixed pricing removes an unnecessary source of friction from the Agent relationship. The Agent does not have to create a private price for every merchant. Instead, the Agent can spend more time on what matters: finding genuine businesses, explaining the options honestly and supporting the merchant after signup.

Clear prices create clear conversations. Knomart's fixed pricing structure gives merchants defined choices and gives Agents a consistent framework for presenting them.
