The Custom Product Profit Playbook
You give away the most valuable part of every custom order for free — and call it “customer service.” Here are five ways to charge for customer artwork that customers actually expect, a worksheet that shows what free uploads are costing you, and copy you can paste into your shop today.
What’s inside
The math you’ve been avoiding
A fill-in worksheet that turns “it’s just a few clicks” into a real monthly number. Most makers are shocked at row four.
5 ways to charge for uploads
Flat design fee, per-file tiers, per-MB, complexity tiers, rush fees — with the right one matched to your product type.
Copy you can steal
Paste-ready product-page line, cart label, and a ready reply for the rare customer who pushes back. No blank page.
Two real shops, real numbers
A UV tumbler shop that added $720/mo with a $4 fee, and a hat-bar host who lifted per-event revenue 22% — zero extra labor.
