FAQ
Common
questions.
Is there really no setup fee?
Correct. You pay nothing upfront. Your first month starts the day you sign up. No onboarding, consulting, or hidden fees.
Are there per-order royalties?
Never. Unlike Taopix and DesignNBuy, SkyDesign charges a flat monthly fee. Every order you fulfil is 100% yours.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Give us 30 days notice and your account closes cleanly. You keep all your product templates and order history.
Do I need to install anything?
The customer shop and admin panel are fully web-based. The optional offline desktop apps are available on Professional and Enterprise tiers.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. You can map your own custom domain to your SkyDesign shop on all plans.
