Frequently Asked Questions

How should I price jewelry with high labor time?

If labor minutes are high, raise price, simplify designs, or batch steps to reduce time. Consider a minimum viable price that protects a target margin (e.g., 60%+ gross before returns).

What return/resize rate is normal?

Many shops see 2–10%. Rings with sizing issues can be higher. Use your own history; the reserve makes your per‑order profit more realistic.

Should I offer free returns?

Free returns can improve conversion but increase costs. Model a higher return rate and resize cost to see the margin impact before changing policy.

How do I reduce platform fees impact?

Encourage bundles and upsells to increase AOV so fixed fees shrink as a percent. Where allowed, use lower‑fee payment options.

How can I improve margins without raising price?

Reduce packaging or label costs, optimize labor (batching, jigs), and negotiate bulk materials pricing. Improve sizing guidance to cut return and resize rates.
