We provide you with a complete product catalog with transparent pricing. You can then mark up products further based on your audience and market positioning.
Important Tax Considerations
Please Note: Actual profits will fluctuate depending on the customer's tax jurisdiction. We use tax-inclusive pricing, meaning:
- The final price shown to customers already includes applicable taxes
- Tax rates vary by country, state, and even city (ranging from 0% to 27% globally)
- When orders ship to regions with lower tax rates, your profit margin may increase
- All tax calculations and remittances are handled automatically by our system
This tax-inclusive approach simplifies the customer experience while ensuring fair pricing. Your dashboard will show actual profits per order based on the specific tax rates applied.
