8. Financial Breakdown of Path B

Part 5 • Path B: The $5/mo "Professional" Startup

The financials are nearly identical to Path A, with one small addition. Let's use the same T-shirt example: You sell a shirt for $25. The customer pays $25 through your Shopify checkout. The money goes to your bank account via Shopify Payments. Printify charges you $8.90 for fulfillment. Your gross profit is $16.10. However, you must now account for your fixed monthly cost. The Shopify Starter plan is $5/month. Therefore, you only need to sell one shirt or hoodie per month to cover the entire cost of the platform. Every subsequent sale is pure profit, but with the added benefit of a conversion-optimized, professional system.
