You don’t pay with money, you pay by “trading” where you give them something of equal or greater value than what you want. This will bring you to a trading menu with a list of everything the merchants have on the left, and everything you have on the right.

However, if you have a poor Broker, you will need to incentivize the Merchant with profit, which means you’ll have to spend more goods for items. This is why picking a competent Broker is so important, because you may get away with trades where the Merchant is taking a Trader Loss. Dwarf Fortress will calculate the difference between the value of your goods and the Merchant’s goods and let you know if you’re getting a good deal.

Depending on the item and the amount, prices for that item in the next year could be 100-200+% higher than they would normally be. This will enable you to specify the specific goods you want in the next year–granted at a premium markup.
