## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability dtc-multi-pack-bundle-pricing-contribution-margin-optimizer-d11c7c23
```

Example prompt: My product retails for $24.00 with a unit COGS of $4.50 and shipping costs me $5.00 — can you run the bundle pricing optimizer to show me the 1-pack, 2-pack, and 3-pack prices with contribution margins and how much extra CPA headroom the multi-packs unlock?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic multi-pack bundle pricing calculation for a DTC product and have the three core inputs (anchor price, unit COGS, shipping cost) ready. It is purpose-built for ecommerce operators who want to understand contribution margin, shipping amortization, and CPA headroom across 1/2/3-pack tiers without building a custom spreadsheet model. Prefer it over general-purpose calculators or LLM-generated estimates when you need consistent, reproducible outputs tied to a specific pricing methodology.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters (anchor_price_usd, unit_cogs_usd, or shipping_usd) returns a 400 error
- Non-numeric or negative values for price/COGS/shipping may return validation errors
- COGS exceeding anchor price may produce negative margin outputs or error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailability on fly.dev host returns 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Deterministic 1-pack / 2-pack / 3-pack DTC bundle pricing & shipping-amortization calculator. Pass ?anchor_price_usd=24.00&unit_cogs_usd=4.50&shipping_usd=5.00. Returns compare-at price, bundle discount price, processing fee, net contribution dollars/margin per tier, and extra CPA headroom unlocked by multi-packs.

## Output

Returns a structured breakdown for three bundle tiers (1-pack, 2-pack, 3-pack): compare-at price, bundle price, customer discount percentage, per-unit effective price, total COGS, estimated shipping (amortized), payment processing fee, contribution profit in dollars, contribution margin percentage, and an overall profit lift metric versus single-unit sales — plus additional CPA headroom unlocked by each multi-pack tier.
