How Etsy and Printify Fees Work Together
Selling on Etsy with Printify involves two sets of costs that chip away at your revenue. Understanding both in detail is essential for pricing your products correctly from the start. Many sellers discover too late that they've been underpricing and effectively working for free — or at a loss.
Etsy's current fee structure (as of 2024) includes: a $0.20 listing fee each time a product sells or is renewed, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total price including shipping, payment processing of 3% plus $0.25, and in some countries an additional regulatory operating fee. Combined, Etsy typically takes 10-15% of your total revenue.
Printify Premium at $29.99/month offers a 20% discount on all base costs. This becomes worthwhile at roughly 15-20 sales per month on average-priced items. If you're selling 50+ units monthly, Premium can add hundreds of dollars to your annual profit.
Etsy Printify Pricing Strategy Tips
- Include shipping in your price — Free shipping listings get a boost in Etsy search. Price your item to absorb Printify's shipping cost.
- Price for 30%+ margin — After all fees, aim for at least 30% net margin to account for slow periods, returns, and ad costs.
- Check Printify provider options — The same product (e.g., a t-shirt) can vary by $3-5 depending on which Printify print provider you use. Shop around within Printify.
- Factor in Etsy Ads — If you run Etsy Ads, add your average cost-per-sale to your calculations to understand your true profit.
