Starting your own skincare or beauty brand doesn't require a massive upfront investment or a warehouse full of inventory. At Selfnamed, we believe in making your entrepreneurial journey as hassle-free and cost-effective as possible.
The short answer? You can start your brand with zero upfront investment. Our core platform and dropshipping services are completely free to use.
Here is a transparent breakdown of how the costs work:
The Core Setup (Completely Free)
Free Sign-Up & Design Studio: Creating an account, browsing the product catalog, and using our Design Studio to create your labels and boxes is absolutely free. There are no mandatory monthly subscription fees to keep your account active.
Pay Only for Fulfilled Products: Our pricing model is built to be fair. You are only charged the base unit costs of a product after an order is successfully placed and fulfilled (whether it's an order for yourself or a live order from your customer)
Shipping Costs Apply: While the platform is free to use, the shipping costs associated with sending products to you or your customers will be billed at checkout.
Optional Upgrades (Investments to Grow Your Brand)
As your business scales, you have the option to invest in extras to support your growth. These are completely optional:
Sample Sets: A highly recommended, small one-time purchase to test formulas and see your designs in person before launching.
Dropshipping Discount Plan: A flat monthly subscription that gives you a significant discount on the base cost of every product, made to help increase your profit margins once you have steady sales.
Professional Design Services: Hire our in-house design team for a one-time fee to create logos, label concepts, or design adaptations.
Bulk & Warehousing: Ready to graduate from dropshipping? You can purchase products in bulk and pay standard fees for us to warehouse your inventory and pack them for you.
Your success is our priority. We aim to provide cost-effective management so you can focus on what matters most: designing exceptional products for your customers.
