FYI, the reason printify was giving you the low shipping cost in your example 1:12 is because you had a California zip code for the delivery address, so it's not a shipping price to Canada, it's a shipping price to the US still. Canada has postal codes, not zip codes, so all our postal codes have letters and numbers (A0C 2T0, H0H 0H0, etc). That's why your end result was a little higher shipping when you changed to Print Geek, because it was showing shipping to California. Everything else though, super awesome information! Thank you so much, this is so helpful for me, I was trying to figure out how to get my Canadian orders to be sent to a Canadian supplier. I almost considered making duplicate listings in my etsy shop and putting CANADIAN ONLY and US ONLY, lol. This is MUCH easier! Thank you! Definitely subscribing!
Omg I never realized there was a “replace” feature!!!
Another helpful little trick learned from your videos!
Hello! You mentioned “You can set a shipping price that accounts for the price difference” in a country eg Canada. Can you explain this further?
You honestly have the most helpful POD channel on all of RUclips. I'm so grateful I found you! I was looking for this exact information all week! THANK YOU so much for this helpful video!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
I finally subscribed! Every time I search for something POD-related, you always come up in search and you have the perfect video on the topic. I really appreciate all the work you put into bringing us such useful information. Thank you!!
I just had an order from the uk.... and they were worried about it arriving by the 6th of next month..... I wish I saw this before I submitted the order in the states !! Great info brother
I can't thank you enough for this! I should have come straight to your channel when searching.🤩
Such a great tip! Thank you! How do you reflect this option to your customers in your Etsy shop? Shipping times can deter some customers. Would you include an approximate shipping time in your descriptions for Canadians or other countries? Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video, it saved me from a supplier cancellation because the order was placed outside of the US. This video was perfect for me to proceed with the order but with European suppliers
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for such detailed explanation 🙏
For some reason there is no available print provider. I live in Australia and am trying to make mouse pads. Do you know why?
THANK YOU!! This video is exactly what I needed. prayer🙏🏼
Your videos are so direct and have many crucial information. Thank you for your crystal clear explanation. I've learned so many things about POD from your videos. I have a question regarding the retail price of the shirt. Before changing the print provider, the retail price was $22.29 and after changing the provider, it became $29.50. But the customer has already paid $22.29, right? I'm confused. I would be very happy if you could clarify.
just had my first order come through that was coming from a Canadian! This video was extremely helpful and clear on how to switch it over to a Canadian provider! Thank you!! Love all your videos and content!! Keep up the great work!! :)
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
@@PODinsightsI'm guessing it would be the exact same steps for a personalized order (which I just got!) So when I duplicate the order in Printify I also edit it with the new personalized design and then follow all the usual steps for selecting a new local provider?
Excellent explanation. International pricing was doing my head in before watching this video.
This came right on time, thank you for sharing!
Concise and to the point, as always. Very good work thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This has helped me so much!!!
Hi, found your videos extremely helpful. This one two. Just a question though. I'm UK, and if someone buys my product from USA, or wherever, yes I can manually look for a closer product provider for faster times and cheaper shipping, like you clearly describe here, but if the customer has already clicked to buy say from USA, won't they see the higher shipping costs and probably abandon order, before I even get to change it to a close provider? Do I really need to set up the same products for multiple countries to avoid this?
Also interested to know :)
Super helpful! Seriously, this is everything, thanks so much!
Perfect! Planning on doing this but for UK & US and having both in my store for customers in different countries
This is what Im thinking of doing. Just trying to get my head around it. Started off just selecting a USA print provider and only when I published I realised my UK customers would have to pay more shipping than the product was priced at! Been driving me potty trying to solve it. Was even thinking of 2 stores, one for UK one for USA. Its not easy to suss out.
Just what I was looking for! Thank you!!!😊
Cheers for this - very very helpful!
Hi - I'm struggling with this. I'm based in the UK and sell canvas prints (POD) of my original artwork but the bulk of my potential orders will come from the USA. I have my Printify account linked to my Etsy shop and have my products set up with a US print provider. That works great until I get an order for the UK. I tried the above method but there's no print provider here in the UK for the same product. I know they exist here but the options to select one are not showing. Any ideas on how to solve this or do I need a second Etsy shop set up for the UK market - thanks in advance - Paul
Hi, I used this and it worked beautifully. The shop is in the UK. The buyer was in the US. The question I have is this: After I submitted the new order on printify (to Monster Digital), would my buyer only be charged the cheaper cost? Does this happen automatically when I submit the order? Etsy shop is still showing the order with the original UK provider price with nearly $20 in shipping to the US. Will this ever change in my Etsy shop orders? Will this show as completed with the new pricing once it is posted to the buyer? If this is not automatic, what do I need to do? You didn't cover this in your video. Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much for this, amazing video with clear and concise explanation.
Thank you sooo much. You saved my day!
Very helpful "How to" tutorial. Thank you!
Super helpful - thanks! I've been wondering how to do this in a smart way!
Thank you. That was very helpful. Do you have video regarding tips on pricing products if selling in different countries?
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful, but I have a question, can I get penalized be Etsy if in this case, the order is coming from a different address not the Monter digital one?
Hi! Great video, but what happen with the shipping cost for the costumer? When i receive an order, the costumer alredy paid a "wrong", more expensive, shipping cost, because at that moment of the payment the provider wasn't the closest one. How can i avoid that? Thank you!
Amazing video. Thank you!
Thank you, so much! Very helpful.
Thanks so much for this. It is invaluable and has helped get me out of a 'funk'!! :-)
Thanks for the explanation! Helps a lot! Just one question, so when the customer pays for my product on Etsy, the customer is still paying the shipping costs for the "international shipping". Should I just offer "free shipping" on all products, and include this cost on my retail price?
Hi there. Thanks for your great videos. I’m in the process of setting up my store. Located in Australia and trying to get my head around how selling to customers in other countries works. This video has helped a lot. Thank you. But I was wondering - I came across an option on Printify for order routing. If you have this feature enabled, Printify states ‘we’ll even route to a different country or region as your customer, which can help save on shipping costs, custom duties and fulfillment times’. So, why you would choose to manually alter the order if it can be automatically done by Printify and how would price differences work if you chose to do that? As you said in your video, if you are manually changing the print provider, you can set up a specific price in your listing for another country eg Canada, but how would that work with order routing? Thanks!
Hi! You are correct, Printify order routing includes routing for international orders and they will automatically move fulfillment to a provider in the customer's country if one is available. I do not use Printify's order routing for two reasons currently:
1. Order routing enables two things at the same time - the international routing, but also order routing when a product is out of stock. There is no choice currently to only do the international routing. If you receive an order for a product variant that is out of stock, order routing will automatically fulfill the order with another provider that has the product in stock. I personally prefer to have control over which provider is fulfilling my orders. There are a few that I just don't want to fulfill my orders based on past experience or their quality scores, and automatic order routing does not give you control over this.
2. The same thing is true for international routing. Some products like t-shirts have more than one provider in several countries (for example Duplium, Print Geek, and Big Oven in Canada for t-shirts). Again, I prefer to choose which provider my order is routed to rather than let it be automatically routed to one of the providers.
If Printify updates the automatic order routing to allow us to enable/disable specific providers, then I definitely would use it. But for now, I prefer to manually change the print provider when needed so I have control over where my orders go. If you're not concerned with that, then go for it! It definitely will save you time. However, when setting up your shipping profiles it will still be important to check the providers in countries where you intent to sell so that you are setting appropriate shipping prices for each country.
I hope that helps!
@@PODinsights Thanks so much for taking the time to reply- really appreciate it 👍
Thank you, this helps a lot still in 2023.
This was REALLY helpful thank you so much! I'm subscribing
Straight to the point and super helpful thank you
This is very helpful.Thank you.I do have a question.In fact 2 questions.What do you do when lets say you have a product that is set up with a print provider from Us and iyou receive an order from Europe,what do you do if you cant find a print provider from europe to replace with?And second,I am based in Europe selling on etsy,should I use a print provider from Us or from Europe or both? I want to sell in Us too as Us it is a big marketplace.Thank you
thank you. this was very helpful. This is what I have been struggling with. But I am in Canada and I am trying to figure out how to handle American orders. I have set up printful for the US and since I just opened my store I haven't had sales yet. But want to be sure to do it correctly. I will definitely go in and find out how to postpone the orders for the prints.
Thank you so much for your very helpful videos. Question: I got an order and it automatically went through to production. Fortunately i was able to cancel it as i need to edit it. If i press the duplicate button, can i then edit the order design and production provider?
I have an etsy store and use printify. I received an order with multipe items from my store. Unfortunately, these items have different printers (print on demand). All items were put in one order. VAT was charged on one of the mugs. Finally, I couldn't just manually launch the order because it was telling me to print a shipping label as if I was shipping the items myself. In the end, I cancelled the order because I didn't have a clue what to do. Can you please tell me how to resolve this for future reference?
Such a great tip but I have a question. In Etsy how does the customer see that the shipping price will not be what is displayed? Because yes it helps with delivery times but how can you display a cheaper delivery price knowing that we (sellers) are going to change the print provider

you just saved my life
Omg thanks so much for this! I'm just about to start on this journey and it just did my head in to work this out! I'm based in Europe and I wasn't sure if Etsy will know that (or if that will be my audience) or if it's completely location free. So I've been trying to work out what fulfilment centre to use as I know the US ones are better. You can't really know where people will order from right?. So I guess the easiest way is just to go with the US and change if an order comes in from somewhere else? Or no? :/ thanks again! :)
Hi! You can control where your listings are visible to shoppers in your shipping profiles. I have a video about setting up your shipping profiles and this link should take you right to the part where I talk about international shipping settings: ruclips.net/video/fnhcxnzmnMg/видео.html
Basically if you remove a country from your shipping profiles, your listings will not display in the search results for shoppers in that country (as long as you don't have the option for "everywhere else" in your shipping profile). So if you want to sell in the US and Europe, you can set up your shipping profile with only those countries. If you're using Printify, you still can use the method that I showed in this video to edit individual orders so that they are fulfilled in the country that you would like, but you won't get any orders for other countries that are not listed in your shipping profiles so it makes it a little bit more predictable.
And as far as which provider to create your listings with, I would suggest using providers located where you are expecting to do most of your business or where you want to do most of your business. Your shipping profile also will have an origin country and postal code in it (only one per listing), so if you set up your listings using print providers in the US, your Etsy listings will indicate they are coming from a US location, making them more appealing in the US market as far as delivery times go. If you use a provider in Europe, the listing will look like it's shipping from Europe even though you might have the order fulfilled in the US if the customer is in the US. Since you can only have one origin country per shipping profile and listing, your best option is to go with where you expect to do the most business (and/or where you plan to target any marketing efforts).
Lastly, you could also duplicate your listings so that you have one with a US-based shipping profile and one with a Europe-based shipping profile for each product, so that customers in both areas have a listing that shows a reasonable delivery time and accurately reflects where it will be fulfilled. This is just an option - it can be fairly time consuming to manage, but if you really want to be competitive in multiple markets this is one way you can do it.
I hope that helps!
@@PODinsights Thanks so much for this long response! You explained everything super well thanks :) I have been trying to decide for the past day it's super hard not having much experience with any of the markets but it might just have to be a touch and go game to see. I considered duplicating the shop but that would double up my expenses too if I understand it right which would be hard at the beginning I think.
I also wanted to check what your thoughts are on Gelato? Do you have a good experience with it? I started with Printify as that's the one I got recommended first but I think I saw you use multiple providers too. Many thanks and keep up the good work :)
@@oORebiOo I do use Gelato for some international orders - they have some of the best international shipping rates and fulfillment in more countries than Printify, so sometimes I cancel an order on Printify and place it manually on Gelato for that reason. If you plan on selling across multiple markets and don't want the headache of trying to figure out where each order should be fulfilled, Gelato definitely makes that easier because they automatically route each order to the "best" print provider based on the customer's location. I don't have a huge sample of orders with Gelato to really rate the quality overall, but I've only had two issues with orders in the last year with them - one was a production delay and the other was a reprint due to a bad mug print - which happens occasionally on every platform. The only thing Gelato cannot solve for is Etsy's limitation for allowing only one shipping profile per listing, so you still will have the issue where each listing can only show one "origin country" and postal code, even though it's going to be fulfilled in the customer's country whenever possible. I believe Gelato's default shipping profiles will be set to your account billing country, but you can change it in your account settings. So unfortunately you still have that limitation as far as having to set one origin country for your shipping profiles, but on the back end, Gelato does make order fulfillment much more streamlined.
@@PODinsights Sorry to jump in but I've been looking for the answer to my question all day, so I'm UK based, I want to target the USA (My listings are in the draft folder of Etsy and are ready to be activated and i only currently have shipping to US set up but I'm seeing product costs in GB pounds) so I'm using monster digital via printify for my fulfillment, but I also want to fulfill in the UK, so my questions are, do USA customers who find my store see my prices in Dollars (converted to the equivalent GBP pounds cost ( my printify account is set to GBP pounds, is this ok ) )
My second question is can you have printify and gelato attached to the same Etsy store? Because I first had gelato attached and when I attached printity, the shipping in my printify orders showed gelato as a shipping option !! so I disconnected gelato from Etsy but the shipping still shows in printify . I'm so confused 😵💫 Sorry for the rambling but I'm dyslexic. thanks and a brilliant video
@@shanegriffin8308 did you figure it out? I'm in Canada having the same issues !
You just save my life today 😂 thank you 😊
This saved my life
I have a question that is almost the reverse of this process. I am wanting to offer an assortment of eco-friendly products. I am finding that the vast majority of eco-friendly suppliers are based outside of the U.S. Is it possible to source the items outside of the U.S. and have them shipped to buyers living in the U.S.? Other than shipping time, what are the limitations and disadvantages of doing this, IF it can be done at all?
Thanks in advance for your response.
What about the price section? I assume it doesn't matter since at this point the customer has already paid? For example let's say you typically put a 60% mark up on your listings , and after duplicating and replacing for a specific Canadian order as you're going through the of setting up that duplicated listing since I've changed the print provider it then shows default pricing at 40% profit margin.. do I need to worry about changing this?
I'm also doing this just from my printify account. I haven't tried this yet from an actual order. Maybe that makes a difference? I hope this makes sense. Thank you
Hi, thank you for this video it’s helped so much.
I’m in the UK and just sold to the Netherlands. Etsy have charged customs tax to the customer but as I’ve fulfilled my order in Germany, there’s no custom charges as its EU to EU. I’m not sure if you’ve had a similar issue? Thank you
I NOTICED THAT you use svg to your designs, is there come out on shirt better and which color profile you use rgb or cmyk
what? am i supposed to order tshirts for my all customers all the time? I thought it is gonna be automated. Someone orders a product and the system see the location.
Same… hard to find!
Thank you! This is really helpfull
Firstly great video thank you. Question lets say you are lucky enough to have an influx of orders in a day like 100. How might you cope with this if they are all from multiple countries for example. Plus when you first publish an item for sale on Etsy does that mean it is seen worldwide? Could someone get through the order only to see you are based in a different country and be put off?
Thank you ! This was very helpful. But the shipping price changes according to the supplier’s country, How can I show this on Etsy? I mean, I live in Spain and the shipping price to EEUU with an European provider is usd 10.99 but with an American provider is usd 4.99. How do I make customers see the shipping price according to their country?
Hi! In your shipping profiles, you can enter different shipping prices for each country that you want to sell in. You would set the pricing based on the print provider that you plan to use for each country (plus a little extra to cover any international taxes that you might be charged). I hope that helps!
@@PODinsights yess, thank you!!
You can change profile after order is placed but on Etsys end is there anyway to show that you can do faster times? For example, an EU customer is on my product on Etsy my product is for US but I can change provider after order. Is there a way to show on etsys end the pricing it will be if I route an EU provider?
Thanks for this!
Gahh I am terrible with numbers and have no idea about international postage. This is all full on! :D
Does this process also work when someone purchases 2 items, but the items are from 2 different print providers? Can I just change the print provider for 1 item so that both items ship from 1 provider?
So my listing was designed for Australia and got a sale for a buyer in the US, no biggy… I can change it but how come Printify didn’t tell me I had an order like on yours? The only notification I got was from Etsy ….and yes it’s a legit sale as it also came thru as a sale on the Etsy app as well
Brilliant! 🎉 thank you!
will the customer get updated about the change?
Help me a lot !
But i have a question, i recently sold two items in one order and i was wondering if my client will receive 1 or 2 package. Because i had to pay the shipping cost for each items.
Thank you !
Hi! If the products are from different print providers, they will ship separately. But if the products are coming from the same print provider, they will package them together. Sometimes you pay the full shipping price for more than one product even if it's from the same print provider because the products have different base shipping prices, like a hoodie and a t-shirt.
What if the product or variation they bought doesn’t exist in the print providers I am going to change to?
hello, it's possible to automate this process so that every single time a eu customer make an order, printify assign the right provider for the customer zone? obviusly this is possible oly if the shirt model is the same
Hello and thanks for your videos!! Is this methot is safe for Etsy?
Hi! Yes, you can safely change the print provider for an individual order when necessary without impacting your Etsy listings.
So if you live in Europe and you want usa to be your target group for print on demand products,you can choose from the begining a usa provider?
Yes! You can use a US print provider to create the listing and then base your shipping prices off US-domestic shipping rates from that provider if you want to be selling mostly in the US.
@@PODinsights thank you very much!
THANK YOU!
Do I need to change print provider if the shirt and size is out of stock? Do I need follow the step above as well?
Hi! Yes, I use this same process when a size or color is out of stock with my normal print provider, until they have it back in stock. The process is exactly the same, you just need to create a draft of the listing with another provider to use until that size/color is back in stock.
@@PODinsights That's great, thank you.
Hi can you help me I live in the uk 🇬🇧 but my account says united stated on printify how do I change?
Thanks!
Do you have orders submit and process automatically or do you manually submit the orders?
Hi! I have my account set to manual order submission because I sell some personalized products that require editing the product in the order before it is submitted to production. I heard that Printify might be coming out with an option to hold only personalized orders and allow others to be submitted automatically so I'm excited for that! But I also like to edit the print provider for international orders so I'll probably either keep mine set to manual or go with the automatic in 24hrs option once they have that option to hold personalized orders.
hi how can i do this with shipping? Mine is not 8 but 31!!!
Is there a reason you don't use the order routing option if you were to have your orders fulfilled automatically? Thank you
Hi! This is totally up to personal preference, but I don't use the automatic routing because it enables both domestic order routing for out of stock products and the international order routing - there's no way to separate them. With the domestic order routing, there is no control over which print provider your orders are routed to (domestic) when a product is out of stock with your normal print provider. There are a few print providers in the US for products like t-shirts that I personally just don't want to use even if they have the same product at the same price, but with order routing there's no control over that. That's the primary reason why I don't use order routing - I'd love to use it if at some point they offer a feature where you can turn on international routing only and not domestic, or if they could give us the ability to exclude specific providers from the order routing.
@@PODinsights Thank you for your insight :)
I do custom artwork canvases. I have a specific supplier that I use for US as it's cheaper. And I use another company called Jondo when shipping to other places because they have fulfilment center's all over the world and it's a lot cheaper. However when I make the custom order for the UK customer and go and select the custom canvas it still says "Printed in United States by Jondo". I don't want to import the order and have it shipped from the US for a UK order. What do I do?
Hi! I'm not sure that I understand your question completely. If you manually place orders with Jondo for international customers, the actual shipping location won't be influenced by anything on Etsy. Your shipping profile on Etsy controls what is listed as the country of origin, so it's going to say the US if your shipping profile is set up for your US provider. So it will look like it's coming from the US to the customer, but in reality if you're placing the order with a provider that can print the order domestically it will not be an international shipment. Shipping profiles can only have one country of origin, so you have limited options with regard to how it is displayed on Etsy. I do have a separate video that walks through shipping profile setup based on different options for international selling if you'd like to check it out: ruclips.net/video/EKR1RwJV-xQ/видео.html
great video thanks
my tees are going up to 32 usd for my customers please i need help its way too much
Has this changed? Because now Printify has auto routing and it even says in their example that if a customer is based in Germany and the seller is in the U.S that it will route the order to the Closest print partner to the customer? Am I missing something? I am new to this and trying to get my head around it
Hi! You can still manually change the print provider for individual orders if you don't have order routing enabled on Printify. I cover the order routing feature here: ruclips.net/video/XJkXISF3z-E/видео.html
There are reasons why you potentially may not want to use auto-routing which I've covered in other videos as well. The main reason for me personally is that you don't have control over which print provider the order is sent to. There are some print providers for products like t-shirts that I don't want to use, and auto-routing does not let you be selective about which provider the order is sent to. But if you're ok with that, you can enable it and worry less about manually updating orders.
Awesome thanks for that, that makes total sense. Just couldn’t figure why to do manual ordering but you explained why and I will watch that video you recommended as well. Thanks for the reply 👍
Any idea what I do if I don’t have the “Edit Order” option?
We have the Cancel Order and Duplicate, but not Edit Order. Is this because the orders been sent to the printer, even though it’s out of stock?
Please help! This is our first sale and we want it to go right!
On your orders page, there is an order status indicator. If the order says "in production" then you cannot edit the order any longer. You would need to request cancellation and if it can be cancelled, you can then place a new order with your desired print provider. If it can't be cancelled, then it will have to be fulfilled by the provider it was submitted to.
@@PODinsights thank you. I was able to figure it out. I cancelled the order and since it was hung up before production I was able to.
I then went in and changed my print provider and created a manual order. It has since been sent to production and was picked by the printer.
Thanks for getting back to me.
@@PODinsights on a side note, I am currently using your SKU copy/paste method, but I’m seeing others hiding their listing on Printify, publishing to Etsy and adding title and tags before making the listing live.
Do you have a video, or could you explain why you prefer your method? I have a lot of designs I need to put out and want the most efficient.
Do you feel yours is more “streamline”? Is it more “idiot proof” than the other method? Or is it just a case of preference?
Good information for me to have in future. Unfortunately doesn’t help my current problem.
Thank you so much
Is there anything I can do if some of the colours aren't available in certain countries, like list them as out of stock or something?
Hi! You can only turn on/off individual variants in the main listing variation section, which will impact the options available for all colors. Etsy doesn't currently give you the option to edit variations by country/destination.
@@PODinsights Thanks for replying!
I tried this method, and I encountered a problem with the customer because of the difference in the value of the invoice and taxes after changing the printing provider, and I had to return an amount so that he would not inform Etsy. Is there a solution to this problem
The customer would not be aware of how much your fulfillment cost is for the order, so I'm not fully understanding what issue you encountered. If changing the print provider would result in you losing money, then of course it's up to you as to whether you use the original provider or look for another. But if the cost is lower than expected, it would simply be additional profit for you.

thank you
Sounds like it's getting away from the passive income way of doing things if you have to check every day if you've had sales from different countries and then put in lots of work switching the printer option the way you describe. What happens if you get really successful and are getting multiples orders from customers around the world every day? Doesn't it become unworkable then? Sorry, not really understanding this.
Hi there! There are two things to consider. First - if your goal is to be an international seller when you start your business, meaning your ambition is to truly get a regular/consistent volume of sales from many different countries rather than just one or a few, then I would recommend utilizing a print on demand platform that is better aligned to that mission - such as Gelato. They automatically place orders with a print provider based on geography so if your sales are constantly coming in from many different countries, it will not cause any issues for you on the fulfillment side of things as far as admin time. With Etsy, the majority of their order volume comes from the US. If your plan is to focus on the US only or the US and a couple additional countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK, then handling order fulfillment manually when you occasionally make sales outside the US is not a problem and this is my personal situation. The second thing to consider is that if your business achieves the kind of success that would not allow you to keep up with this - the same thing that applies to all businesses would apply here, and that is delegation. If your business reaches thousands of orders per month on a consistent basis, you likely would be looking to hire some virtual assistants to handle daily tasks of the business. Even with the automation that's available in the print on demand space, I don't believe it's reasonable to be a one-person operation if you reach that level of monthly sales and want to keep it going, unless maybe if all the volume is coming from one country but even then, you probably could use some help replying to customer messages, etc. due to the sheer volume. Take that for what it's worth, it's just my opinion.
@@PODinsights Thanks for taking the time to respond with such detail. It's a lot to take in when you're new to this method of online sales. I've only done a bit of Amazon FBA and self-publishing to date, but I'm looking to try something different where you don't need to fork out huge sums in stock or paying ghostwriters and this could work for me. I'll check out Gelato for sure.
Hi..What is the total profit on this order..shipping is 9$, cost is 9$....total cost of t shirt is 29$ ...so 11 dollars ? that's how it is?
Hi! If you are selling on Etsy, the profit for an order of $29 with an $18 total cost would be $7.80 because Etsy charges transaction and listing fees for each order. If you want to check the profit for different price points, an Etsy fee calculator can be helpful. I like to use this one: www.alura.io/resources/etsy-fee-calculator
