HOW THE ROUTE WORKS

Four steps, no stock room

  1. 1
    Choose one product.

    Do not publish fifty blank catalogue items.

  2. 2
    Add one clear personalization.

    A name, date, photo or place is enough.

  3. 3
    Order the sample.

    Check print, packaging, shipping and the real landed cost.

  4. 4
    Sell only after the numbers work.

    Use our calculator with fees, labor and packaging included.

    Shipping you absorb.

    Include any portion you advertise as free or discounted shipping.

    Store and payment fees.

    Use the current fee schedule for the channel where the order is paid.

    Design and personalization time.

    Count photo checks, name changes, messages and order handling.

  5. 5
    Samples, remakes and refunds.

    Reserve a realistic amount for quality checks and failures.

  6. 6
    Taxes, subscriptions and currency costs.

    Add only the amounts that apply to your country, account and tools.
