Arithmetic
Contribution per order. POD base cost. Platform fees. Shipping.
Contribution per order equals sell price minus POD base cost minus shipping (if absorbed) minus platform fees minus design cost allocated. Negative contribution is valid arithmetic — reprice or STOP. First paid order shipped is the close.
Identity, not a market rate.

Contribution from your POD dashboard and storefront invoices. No invented margin claims.
