Startup costs are typically around $200 to $1,500, depending on your store setup, design work and marketing. These are estimates only. A print partner prints and ships each order, so you hold no stock.

Monthly revenue is typically around $200 to $2,500, depending on your niche, designs and how well you promote the shop. The estimate assumes at least about 5 hours a week. Treat these figures as estimates, not guarantees.

Check copyright: only sell artwork you made or have licensed, never film, band or brand images without rights. Also check GST/HST registration, how provincial sales tax applies, shipping times and cross-border duties for US sales, and any home-based business licence.
