What it does
Useful when the same product could sell on more than one channel. Set each channel's percentage and fixed fee, and you will see net-after-fees and final profit compared in one view.
How the math works
For each channel, fee total = order revenue x percentage fee + fixed fee. Net after fees = order revenue - fee total. Profit = net after fees - cost of goods - shipping cost. Compare profit and payout margin across the channels.
Try it with real numbers
- The same $75 order can produce very different profits on Etsy, Amazon, and eBay once each channel's take rate and fixed fees are applied.
- Run one representative order and compare final profit side by side — do not assume the lowest headline fee means the best channel.
Good to know
- This comparison uses one percentage fee and one fixed fee per channel — it is a planning model, not a perfect fee-policy simulator.
- When storage, fulfillment, returns, ads, or listing fees matter to your decision, fold them into the channel assumptions.
- The most reliable comparison starts from one realistic order, not a generic average basket.
