If you’re a small business selling on Siuhuu, getting your prices right is super important.

Price too high, and customers might go to other websites.
Price too low, and you won’t make enough money to keep going.

Here’s a simple, no-stress guide to help you price your products in a way that’s fair for customers – and profitable for you.

1. Start With What It Costs You

Before anything, figure out how much it costs you to make or buy the product. Include:

  • Materials or stock
  • Packaging
  • Your time and effort
  • Shipping materials

Example:
If it costs you $12 FJD to make an item, that’s your base cost. You need to price higher than that to make a profit.

2. Research Other Websites Too

Don’t just look at Siuhuu. Check what similar products are selling for on:

  • Etsy
  • Amazon
  • Facebook Marketplace
  • Local online shops

If your price is much higher than everywhere else, customers may leave Siuhuu and buy from those sites instead. Keep your prices competitive.

Tip: Make your product stand out with better photos, packaging, or descriptions instead of just raising the price.

3. Siuhuu Charges a Small 5% Commission (and It’s Worth It)

Yes, Siuhuu takes 5% from each sale, but don’t let that scare you.

This small fee covers a lot:

  • No need to build your own website
  • No need to set up your own payment system
  • No need to run expensive ads or figure out how to get traffic
  • No setup fees, no monthly fees, no listing fees—just 5% when you make a sale

Think about it this way:
Siuhuu handles all the hard and expensive stuff for you, and you only pay when you make money. That’s a fair deal.

Example:
If you sell something for $20 AUD, Siuhuu keeps $1 AUD (5%), and you get $19 AUD.

To cover that fee, you can simply price your item a little higher—like $21 AUD instead of $20 AUD.

4. Let Siuhuu Handle Currency for You

If you’re a seller in Fiji or another country outside Australia, good news:
You don’t need to worry about converting your prices.

Just enter your price in your local currency (like Fijian Dollars).
Siuhuu automatically shows the correct price in AUD for buyers.

No currency headaches—just focus on your product.

5. Price for Quality, Not Just Cost

If your product is well made, unique, or handmade—don’t be afraid to price it a little higher. But it has to look and feel worth it.

Make sure you:

  • Use clear, high-quality photos
  • Write a good product description
  • Explain what makes your item special (handmade, natural, one-of-a-kind, etc.)

People will pay more if they see the value.

6. Don’t Go Too Cheap

It’s tempting to price low to get sales, but that can backfire. People might think the product is low quality, or you might not earn enough to cover your costs.

Start with a fair price that:

  • Covers your costs
  • Includes profit
  • Feels reasonable compared to similar products on other websites

7. Adjust if You Need To

Your first price doesn’t have to be permanent.

  • If something’s not selling, check your price, photos, or description.
  • If you’re selling out too fast, maybe you can raise your price a little.

The key is to watch, learn, and adjust.

Quick Recap:

✅ Know your total cost
✅ Check prices on other websites
✅ Add a little to cover Siuhuu’s 5% fee
✅ Enter your price in your local currency—Siuhuu does the conversion
✅ Make your product look worth the price
✅ Don’t price too low
✅ Test and tweak over time

Final Tip:
Before you publish a price, ask yourself:
Would I pay this if I saw it online?
If the answer is yes, you’re probably in the right spot.
