Hi,
@Yaros
The sellvia idea is a great one
I love it.
Well done!
BUT...
It's also a doubled-edged sword
...for us your customers (ADS store owners)
WHY?
Because Sellvia doubles as a standalone general ecom store.
It means site any outsider can buy from there.
On my custom store, the price of the anti-scratch liquid was
$24 + free shipping

NOTE - (I haven't changed any price since it was installed by my ADS store manager)
On sellvia, the same product is $1.99 + $6.50 Shipping =
$8.49

That means the selling price that ADS recommended on my store is 2.83 times more expensive than on Sellvia!!!!
Same product.
The whole idea at ADS is to help your customers make a profit.
BUT
How do we your customers compete with this?
How do we make a reasonable profit?
Please don't forget we still have to bare the average Cost per purchase.
Our CPP in this case may be over $5 in addition to the cost price from AE.
Well, someone can say buy from Sellvia - forget Aliexpress.
Works if I'm targeting the US.
BUT...
Even with this scenario:
Even if I buy from Selluvia, the CPP is still there.
So, I buy at $1.99 + $5 cpp = $6.99
My profit = $8.49 - $6.99 = $1.50.
That's very tiny. To make $150, I have to sell 100!
Without the $39/month subscription.
If I add the monthly subscription.
It may be a loss!
Suggestions
How about this:
Can't Sellvia just service your customers only at $39/month?
To make a profit:
1. You guys set a minimum of 3 months subscription or something per customer?
And/Or
2. Raise product prices on sellvia!
Please look in to this.
Sellvia competing against us is a model that can kill many starters here.
Remember, we don't have your size of advertising budget yet!
Can't wait to hear from you.
