Labor, packaging, shipping & fees
Include the work and costs surrounding the print.

Count hands-on labor
Use labor minutes for the time you spend preparing, removing supports, finishing, assembling and packing the job. Use a labor rate that reflects the cost you want the estimate to cover.
Do not count a three-hour unattended print as three hours of hands-on work unless that is genuinely how you operate. Printer time, electricity and labor describe different costs.
Separate shipping cost from shipping charged
Packaging and shipping costs are available in Free. Enter what the order costs you to pack and ship; use shipping charged for the amount the customer pays toward delivery.
Illustrative example: shipping costs 6 and you charge 4 for delivery. The remaining 2 still needs to be covered by the order. Charging for shipping does not remove the underlying shipping expense.
Check selling-fee assumptions
Percentage fees and fixed charges affect profit. Review whether the selected rules charge fees on shipping as well as the item price, and whether a fixed fee applies to an order or to each item. Advanced selling-cost controls require Maker or above; reusable marketplace profiles require Pro or Studio.
Fee rules differ by channel and can change. Enter the applicable rules for your own selling arrangement. A marketplace profile is a reusable cost model, not an account connection or automatic fee update.
Avoid counting costs twice
Use the additional materials total in Free for components such as magnets, glue or keyrings. With Maker and above, detailed component entries can make those costs easier to review and reuse.
If a cost is already included in a detailed component or shipping entry, do not also add the same amount elsewhere. Before quoting, check quantity, packaging, shipping, labor and fees against the actual order you plan to fulfill.
