'''Monkey Commerce''' is the [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]'s path 3 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the cost of all towers placed and [[Upgrade|upgrades]] up to tier 3 purchased within the Monkey Village's [[range]] by 5%, which stacks with [[Monkey Business (BTD6)|Monkey Business]] and stacks up to three times with other Monkey Commerce towers for a maximum of 25% discount (27% discount with {{BTD6 mk|Insider Trades}}). This discount does not apply to [[Hero]] levels or [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo's Shop]] items.

Monkey Commerce is a powerful money-saving upgrade, especially for [[CHIMPS]], [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, and [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]]. 15% discount is a large saving for strategies that rely on multiple and/or expensive Tier 3 upgrades, with [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]s directly benefiting the most. Stacking extra Monkey Commerces can save more money, but only with expensive setups with T3's and below, and placing more Villages can waste space. Having up to two neighboring Monkey Commerces is recommended for most games, while three and four of them is only necessary in specific money-saving scenarios.

In [[CHIMPS]], the discount is almost always beneficial in the mid-game. Try to buy discount as early as possible, but beware of problematic rounds (e.g. round 40) and some cash-sensitive setups that require buying a single upgrade before a specific round.

===Breaking points===

Below lists the total below tier 3 un-discounted upgrade costs within range of 0-0-2 village(s) that would break even upon selling the village. These assume no [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] points are active, and that the player places their discount villages all within each other.

'''Single Discount'''

'''Double Discount'''

'''Triple Discount'''

Going for a quadruple or quintuple discount is not advised due to the discount rate only stacking three times. An exception is very specific cash setups, such as [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] into [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]].

|[[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]

|[[File:BTD6 000-SuperMonkey.png|x50px]]

|All Super Monkeys have among the most expensive base costs and up to Tier 3 upgrades in the whole game; when discounted, a lot of money is saved. [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]] is the most expensive Tier 3, and its 3-0-2 crosspath is the most expensive crosspath.

|[[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]]

|[[File:BTD6 030-NinjaMonkey.png|x50px]]

|For CHIMPS, as well as certain Least Cash Boss Events, Shinobi spam benefits much from Discount Villages, particularly on maps that have good central coverage for [[Grandmaster Ninja (BTD6)|Grandmaster Ninja]] strategies. The go-to is typically one 0-x-2 and one x-0-2 Village to maximize Shinobi discounts while maintaining enough space for max stacks.

|-

|[[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]]

|[[File:BTD6 003-MonkeyVillage.png|x50px]]

|For Boss Events, which demand maximizes income generation and efficiency, triple-discounting a Monkey Town is recommended when going straight for a [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]], saving lots of cash. With bonus sellback MK and at least about $16,000 on Medium, quadruple-discounting saves marginally more cash after sellback ($269 on Medium).

|Two Monkey Commerces neighboring each other allows a cheaper MIB, which is useful for [[CHIMPS]].
