How to Price Your Products for an Online Store

Price too high and you lose sales; too low and you lose money. Here's a simple approach to pricing your products for an online store.

Know your true costs

Add up product cost, packaging, shipping, payment fees, and your time. Your price must comfortably cover all of these plus profit.

Check the market

See what competitors charge for similar products. You don't have to match them, but you should know where you stand and why.

Price on value, not just cost

• Quality, service, and brand let you charge more.
• Bundles and offers can raise average order value.

Test and adjust

Pricing isn't permanent. Watch what sells, experiment with offers, and adjust. Small changes can meaningfully improve your profit.
