Profit Margin
pol. Marża
Margin is the difference between the selling price and total product cost, expressed as a percentage or in currency. In dropshipping, margin must account for product cost, shipping, taxes, platform fees (Shopify, Stripe), and planned advertising spend. Safe gross margin in dropshipping should be at least 60-70% to leave room for ads and remain profitable. Low margin = hard-to-scale business.
