Pricing FAQ
What does “at cost” mean
Supplier invoices, courier, duties, and taxes are billed at cost. We do not mark up supplier prices.
Can I start with just one product?
Absolutely. Most brands start with a single style to test the workflow.
What if Growth isn’t right for me?
No problem — Essential is fully functional and free. You can produce at your own pace.

Success Stories
Optimize Bestsellers
"Revenue tripled on styles we already had."
We had three sellout styles but never restocked — reorders were a nightmare. With makea, we flipped them to made-on-demand. No inventory, no delays. Revenue on those three styles? 3x.

Grow without Overheads
"8 to 24 SKUs. 2x revenue. Same team."
Scaling used to mean more spreadsheets, more suppliers, more chaos. makea handled supplier matching and order tracking, so we could triple our range and double revenue — without a single new hire.
Scale without the stress

Launch Fast
"Design to sale. 4 weeks. 12 styles."
We were stuck in 6-month lead times. With makea, we launched a full capsule in four weeks — and closed a retailer we'd been chasing for two years.

Test Demand
"Our best-selling line started as a zero-risk test."
We used to commit to 200 units just to try a new design. Half ended up on clearance. Now we drop it, see what sells, and only produce what's proven. Low MOQs. No deadstock.

Diversify Risk
"One factory delay cost us weeks of sales.
Never again."
Our sole supplier delayed two drops due to political disruptions. Now we tap into makea's vetted network — multiple partners, zero onboarding pain.

Restock with Confidence
"I cut inventory holding by 60% — and stopped
discounting."
We used to bulk-buy and pray. Now we track what hits and restock on-demand. No warehouse. No markdowns. Just margin.
