Frequently asked questions
General background on this topic. Informational only — not financial, tax, or legal advice.
- What does the workbook track?
- Selling price, Printify base cost, shipping, sales channel fees (Etsy/Shopify/eBay), and ad spend per order to show net profit.
- Does it work for Printful too?
- Yes. The cost structure is similar — swap Printful's base costs and shipping into the same fields.
- How is print-on-demand profit different from regular dropshipping?
- POD base costs are usually higher per unit but there's no inventory risk. The workbook shows how that changes break-even math.
- Does this workbook include tax?
- No. Tax handling depends on country, marketplace, and registration status. It's outside the workbook's scope.
