How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutNo published percentage for Shopify or its type, so the game assumes 10%. | 10% | Assumed |
| Days before money can be withdrawnPublished: "US minimum settlement time 3 business days, then paid per account schedule, initial payouts can take longer" | 3 d | Platform data |
| Minimum payoutPublished: "No minimum for US Shopify Payments, other countries vary" | None | Platform data |
| Listing fee per item listedNo listing fee in our data. | $0 | Assumed |
| Shoppers who see each listing per week | 45 | Assumed |
| Shoppers who buy at a normal price | 3% | Assumed |
| Shipping cost per order | $5.5 | Assumed |
| Orders refunded or returned | 4% | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)Varies widely | — | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on Shopify’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Shopify’s current rules.
