How much does dropshipping cost?

Cost is a stack, not a single price. Anyone quoting one number is hiding a line item: usually ads or your time.

Platform

AscenraDS Pro is $9/month or $90/year. Business is $49/month or $490/year. Add-ons (packs, AI credits, fulfillment, SEO boost) are optional and priced on /addons.

Per-sale fees

AscenraDS sale fee is 2.5% + $0.30. Your payment provider charges separately. Product cost and shipping sit on the supplier side of mapped catalogue orders.

Traffic

Organic content can be $0 in media spend and expensive in hours. Paid ads can be cheap clicks and expensive customers. Track CPA to a paid store order, not to a landing-page view.

What “cheap” gets wrong

A store with no payments connected still costs you the week you spent decorating it. Price your time. Use the startup-cost calculator to add hours at a wage you choose.

FAQ

Is there a hidden platform fee?
