Seller comparison
PrintMate for Etsy sellers
Etsy sellers need repeatable pricing that includes the full cost of making and selling each print.
Why Etsy sellers need more than filament cost
Etsy pricing needs a full-cost view. Material alone leaves out labor, packaging, marketplace fees, and the time spent handling orders.
PrintMate helps sellers price consistently so the listing reflects the actual work and risk involved.
What is useful for sellers
For Etsy sellers, PrintMate is useful because it keeps pricing inputs, print history, filament inventory, and customer records together.
That makes it easier to reuse a pricing method across many listings instead of redoing every quote from scratch.
- Include selling fees in the price
- Track the same parts and materials repeatedly
- Keep pricing consistent across listings
Practical example
If a part costs $14.00 to produce before fees and you want a 35% margin, the sale price is 14.00 / 0.65 = $21.54.
That kind of calculation is simple enough for one order, but PrintMate makes it easier to repeat for a whole catalog of products.
