How do you price products when Austrian theory tells us value is subjective? Should Bitcoin businesses use cost-plus pricing, or completely abandon traditional pricing models in favor of a value for value basis?

I don't study cost-plus pricing or other bitcoin wank-speak, because my brain is too busy with website tech and other things.
But I asked myself how much a package of jerky was at the store, for the same weight. Back in 2019 before I was even in BTC world, I decided on $6 per 2.5 oz package because of a few things: The labor I put in to making the product, the price I pay for the meat at my butcher (which is literally down the street I can just walk there), and while sometimes you can get a 2.5 to 3 oz package of Jack Links or something on clearance, their ingredients are cheap asf (and mostly sugar), whereas my ingredients are clean, no sugar, usually organic herbs & spices or else I buy them from people I trust, so the $6 covers that.
I price everything in sats, although I still have customers who pay in fiat, and both options are enabled in my checkout page (I built my own site, btw, none of that Shopify shit), and 99.9999% of those are lightning. I have only had a few people use on-chain as a backup because they had trouble sending a certain amount via LN.
Bitcoin users can get 10% off if they apply a code at checkout, which I try to promote on nostr all the time, but so far everyone has paid full price 🤷‍♀️

Related to Relai sunsetting LN (#1194772), questions to all of you who accept BTC for goods and services, especially if you offer both BTC and fiat payments:
  • What % of your customers pay in Bitcoin?
  • Out of those who pay in Bitcoin, what % pays via LN?
  • Have you had many technical issues with LN?

From our experience in the agora shop, we can say all the customers pay in Bitcoin, how? We simply do NOT accept any other payment method.
Payments split between onchain and lightning change, it mostly depends on volume, higher amounts tent to be paid onchain, especially when mempool fees are low.
Technical issues help make improvements, adapt to market and software upgrades. Would be not fun and there would be no learning without it. I agree, for many it's easier to have a third party taking care of all the issues and focus on products, services, and sales.
I'm curious to hear what others experience too.
