SaleHoo Directory costs $67/year or $127 for lifetime access. SaleHoo Dropship costs $27/month or $97/year. There are no per-order transaction fees or listing fees. Both plans include access to verified suppliers, market research tools, and customer support.

Question 2

Does SaleHoo charge per-order fees?

Accepted Answer

No, SaleHoo does not charge per-order fees, transaction fees, or listing fees. You only pay the subscription cost (monthly, annual, or lifetime). This calculator amortizes the subscription cost across your monthly sales volume to show the per-order impact.

Question 3

What is the difference between SaleHoo Directory and SaleHoo Dropship?

Accepted Answer

SaleHoo Directory ($67/year) provides access to 8,000+ verified suppliers for wholesale and dropship products. SaleHoo Dropship ($27/month or $97/year) includes the directory plus automated tools for finding trending products, one-click Shopify integration, and real-time inventory sync.

Question 4

What is a good profit margin for wholesale products?

Accepted Answer

A good wholesale profit margin is typically 40-50% or higher. This allows room for marketplace fees (eBay, Amazon), payment processing fees, advertising costs, and unexpected expenses while maintaining profitability. Dropshipping usually has lower margins (20-40%) but requires less upfront investment.

Question 5

How do I calculate my SaleHoo break-even point?

Accepted Answer

Break-even units = Monthly subscription cost ÷ Profit per unit. For example, if your SaleHoo subscription is $5.58/month (annual plan) and you profit $10 per unit, you need to sell 1 unit monthly to break even. Our calculator shows this automatically.

Question 6

Should I choose wholesale or dropship with SaleHoo?

Accepted Answer

Wholesale requires buying inventory upfront but offers higher profit margins and faster shipping. Dropship has no upfront inventory costs and lower risk, but typically has lower margins and longer shipping times. Use this calculator to compare profit scenarios for both models.

Question 7

What are typical payment processing fees?

Accepted Answer

PayPal and Stripe typically charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Shopify Payments charges 2.7% (no flat fee). Square charges 2.6% + $0.10. These fees are calculated on the total order amount including shipping.

Question 8

How do minimum order quantities (MOQ) affect profit?

Accepted Answer

Suppliers often require minimum order quantities (MOQ) to access wholesale pricing. Higher MOQs can reduce per-unit cost but require more upfront capital and storage. According to SaleHoo data, 70% of their suppliers have no minimum orders, making it easier to test products before scaling.

Question 9

Can I use SaleHoo to sell on Amazon and eBay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SaleHoo suppliers can be used to source products for any sales channel including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and your own website. Use our calculator to factor in marketplace fees - eBay averages 13.25%, Amazon charges ~15% referral fees.

Question 10

How does this calculator save my data?

Accepted Answer

Your inputs are automatically saved to your browser's local storage, so when you return, your previous values are restored. No data is sent to our servers - everything stays private on your device. This allows you to compare different products and pricing strategies.
