Throw Pillow Shopify Profit Calculator

Shopify charges no marketplace commission on the Throw Pillow; the only per-sale cost is Shopify Payments at 2.9% + $0.30, so you keep more of each sale than on a marketplace — in exchange for a monthly plan that isn't in this per-sale math. Right now Printful fulfills the Throw Pillow for $13.57 + $4.99 shipping, and Printify from $35.39 + $17.69; most sellers list it between $24.99 and $34.99.

At a $29.99 price with free shipping and Printful fulfillment, that's $1.17 in Shopify fees, leaving $10.26 profit per sale — a 34.2% margin, or roughly 98 sales to clear $1,000 in profit. For the Throw Pillow, Printful is the more profitable fulfiller on Shopify — about $34.52 more per sale at $29.99 (all-in cost $18.56 on Printful vs $53.08 on Printify). Breakeven — the price where profit hits $0 — is $19.42 on Printful; sell below that and you're paying to make the sale.

Remember the subscription: Shopify's lower per-sale fee only beats a marketplace once your volume covers the monthly plan, so it pays off as you scale rather than on your first few orders.
