The most common question from a new Bear Grips Pro Shops vendor is simple: what does a Bella+Canvas piece actually cost, and what should it sell for. The base price depends on the plan. The retail price is entirely up to the vendor. Here is the real math.
| Piece | Free plan base | VIP base | Save on VIP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's Favorite Tee | $23.93 | $19.88 | $4.05 |
| Performance Workout Tank | $23.94 | $19.88 | $4.06 |
| Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt | $35.94 | $29.88 | $6.06 |
| Premium Cropped Sweatshirt | $53.93 | $44.88 | $9.05 |
| Premium Cropped Hoodie | $56.96 | $47.88 | $9.08 |
The free plan has a higher base price and caps live products at 3. Self-Service VIP is $59/mo for the lowest bases and 200 live products. Done-For-You VIP is $105/mo and includes the same lowest bases plus a done-for-you shop build.
Vendors set their own profit dollar amount or retail price with no platform restrictions.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Take a Women's Favorite Tee on VIP at $19.88 base, sold at $29.88 retail.

Add a Premium Cropped Hoodie at $47.88 base sold for $62 retail (about $14 profit) and 15 sales in the same month adds $210 more.
Searches for a cheap Bella+Canvas tee usually mean the buyer wants the lowest possible price point, not a lower quality shirt. On Bear Grips, the fabric and printing are identical across Free and VIP plans. The only difference is the base cost, which is why moving from Free to Self-Service VIP is the fastest way to either lower the retail price for buyers or increase margin at the same retail price.

Start FreeSelf-Service VIP at $59/mo gives the lowest base price ($19.88 for the Women's Favorite Tee), which is the biggest single lever on margin or retail price.
No. The $10 default is a recommendation, not a rule. Vendors set their own retail price or profit dollar amount.
No. Base price is fixed per piece regardless of how many units sell in total.
