About PODPriceCheck

Print-on-demand sellers usually price from their cost. PODPriceCheck starts from the other end: what buyers already pay for the same product on Etsy, Amazon, TikTok Shop and Shopify, what each marketplace takes in fees, and the price that still leaves you the margin you want.

Where the numbers come from

Every price card names its source:

  • Etsy: best-selling listings for the keyword over the last 7 days, from DodgePrint marketplace data.
  • Amazon: products from DodgePrint Amazon Insight that name your keyword, each priced at its 360-day average; the card shows their median. When too few products match, it shows the closest niche's average instead and says so. The card names the niche used.
  • TikTok Shop: the 5 best-selling products for the keyword over the last 7 days, from TikTok Shop best-seller data. Five products show where the best-sellers price, not the whole market.
  • Shopify: a live search of print-on-demand Shopify stores that sell in US dollars, keeping only products that contain every word of your keyword. You can also read a competitor's own store.

Results are kept for a day, so a keyword someone else checked today shows at once. Fee rates are the public US rates for each marketplace, and the calculators show every fee line.

Your cost

Enter what one item costs you to make and ship. If you do not know it yet, “Not sure of your cost?” offers a typical printed-and-shipped cost for common blanks. It is a starting point, not a quote.

What is not included

Subscriptions, ads, taxes and duties change the final number. Prices move during the year, so check again before a season starts.
