The Dapper Squirrel review for Shopify Collective
Nov. 18, 2025
You should have the ability to adjust the price, but it’s crucial to pay attention to supplier margins. When margins are already low, shipping costs can easily wipe out your profit — sometimes leaving only a few dollars, or even putting you in the negative. More and more suppliers are dropping margins to around 20% (I even saw one as low as 8% tonight), which is really disheartening. It makes it hard to stay motivated with retailers, because this could have been such an amazing opportunity.
Thank you for the feedback on pricing flexibility! Please note that shipping costs should not be coming out of your margin, as its a separate cost paid by the customer. If you are finding that this is not the case, please reach out to the Shopify Support team.
