Frequently asked questions

What's a good profit margin for print on demand?

Many sellers aim for 30–40% before ads. Ads often take a large part of that, so check the break-even ROAS before you scale a campaign.

Should I offer free shipping?

You can: set "Shipping charged" to 0 and add the shipping cost to your price. The calculator shows whether the higher price still leaves your margin.

Does this include taxes?

No. Sales tax and VAT are collected for the government, so leave them out of the price you enter.
