What the math says
The example shows why this is not an easy first product. Test support questions and return risk before committing.
These are fictional planning numbers. Replace them with your supplier quote, packed shipping cost, commission plan, ad budget, and refund reserve before spending real money.
Test notes
- Show setup on a real laptop or phone.
- List supported label sizes.
- Plan for support messages about drivers and pairing.
