QUESTIONS

Pricing questions

How do I price handmade skincare?

Start from your real cost per unit: ingredients, packaging, your time and a share of overheads. A common rule is wholesale at 2x cost and retail at 2x wholesale, which leaves room for shop margins and marketplace fees. The tool shows what you keep on each channel.

What fees does Etsy take?

In the US, Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of about 3% plus USD 0.25, and USD 0.20 per listing. The tool includes them; fees change, so check Etsy's current rates.

Should I pay myself in the cost?

Yes. If your time is not in the cost, every price you set is a discount on your own wage, and you cannot hire help or move to a manufacturer later without raising prices.

Is my supplier and cost data private?

Yes. It is saved to your account, used only to run the tools for you and never shared or used in our own pricing.

What is the production planner?

Choose what you want to make. It works out the batches, subtracts what you have in stock and gives one shopping list per supplier, with how many packs to order, the cost and the supplier's contact details.

When does it make sense to have it made?

When your time costs more per unit than your ingredients, or you sell a few hundred units a month, a manufacturer usually lowers your cost per unit and frees you to sell. GFE makes private and white label tallow products from 250 units.
