The default recommended profit across the catalog is $10 per item, but vendors set their own price with no restrictions, so a studio that knows its member base can price well above that default.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.A studio with 40 members over 50 who each buy one branded tee and one quarter-zip over a season, at the margins above, nets roughly $600 to $1,200 in profit before any bulk order risk or leftover inventory. Compare that to a bulk print run where unsold sizes eat directly into the same margin.
The free plan costs $0 a month and lists 3 products at a higher base price. Self-Service VIP is $59 a month for 200 products at the lowest base prices, saving $4 to $11 per item compared to the free tier depending on the product. Done-For-You VIP is $105 a month and includes a personal advisor who handles mockups, pricing, and shop layout every month. For a studio moving more than a few dozen pieces a season, the VIP base price savings alone typically cover the subscription.

Yes. The free plan lists 3 products, enough to test one or two pieces with real members before committing to a paid plan.
No. The base price is set by plan tier, not order volume. One piece and a hundred pieces cost the same per unit, which is what removes the bulk-order risk.
