Am I undercharging my service?

[Manthe]

Hello fellow Fastlaners.

I want to ask you a question about my pricing to one of my customers.

My customer has about 10.000 customers B2C selling a digital product (information), and the income of the business is about $1.500.000 per year.

What I do for my customer is this:

I provide the fulfillment of the digital product, including automation and customer database.
I provide the payment solution which includes Stripe, invoice creation and Mobile Payment system.
The subscription model B2C is one year at the time, so when it's time to renew the subscription, I arrange for a new offer.
The platform I built also handles SMS messages.

Basically I run the complete operation, and the owner just provide me with information of what to put in the information he is selling.

I charge him $5000/month for this.


Expenses for all the tech platforms is paid by my customer, but basically he has a business with about 5% costs and 95% profit, where my part of the cost is 4%.

Is this realistic or should I charge something else?

Cheers Måns
