How do I start an automated e-commerce store with Sandi Ecom?

This opportunity requires an initial upfront investment as well as working capital to grow the store. We only partner with clients who have a healthy income or financial profile and are looking to build or expand into the online space. Please set-up a consultation above if this describes you! That is the first step.

Do we offer funding or financing?

Yes, of course! We have an in-house funding team and will waive all success fees after we get you funded.

Is the startup fee one time only?

To get your business set up, that is the only time you pay the startup fee. Unless anything changes or you want to do something different with your products. The only other fee is the profit share which you can learn more about here.

Can I use credit cards to scale the business?

Yes, you can use anyone's credit card or debit card as long as you are authorized. This card will be used to fulfill orders for Etsy, Facebook, and Walmart stores. Some credit cards offer unique perks. Use the cards that will get you the most travel points! Everyone needs more of those.

How do returns work?

Whenever a customer wants a return, the team will send them a return label and ship the order back to wherever we sourced it. We try to make it as hands-free and hands-off as possible for our clients.

What products will my store sell?

We sell general products in different niches from different US suppliers, for example: Home improvement products, gadgets, apparel, etc. We don’t sell anything offensive, drug or adult related products.

What makes my store different from others?

Product research is done for each store individually by our full-time product research team, so each store will have different products posted on them.

How many products will be in my store?

We list anywhere from 1-10 products every day on your Facebook store, 15-30/month on your Etsy Store, and 10’s of thousands on your Walmart Store depending on your total budget for fulfillment.

What are the profit margins for Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart?

The lowest will be 15% which will allow us to push more volume and in turn allow us to scale higher profit margins. The average profit margin is between 20% - 40%. The highest profit margin we have seen was 60% on Etsy. Overall, our profit margins tower over other platforms because we have zero advertising cost.

Why do you need me if you can do it yourself?

Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart only allow us to have one account person and in some cases only one address, so by partnering with you, we can expand and scale our operation using our expertise.

How long does the setup process take?

Depending on how many platforms you are on, onboarding will consist of 2-6 calls with your account managers to make sure we have everything we need for each store. This process can take 1-2 weeks, but once the initial housekeeping is done, it's off to the races!

What happens if Facebook, Etsy, or Walmart bans my account?

Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart only ban your account if we are posting products that go against their policy. We are very aware of those policies and never go against them. Even if they do ban your account, we will ask for a manual review and they will see nothing wrong with the account and proceed to reinstate it.

Can I pause my stores if they are growing too fast?

Yes, we can put your stores on vacation mode to stop new sales if you run out of capital.

How much working capital should I need?

For the "Getting Your Feet Wet" package, you need $3k minimum. For the "Ready To Ramp Up" package, you will need $5k minimum, and for the "Trifecta" package, you will need $10k minimum. Remember, this is a recycled budget for fulfillment. We only purchase products after you have made a sale, never before.

Why invest in Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart automation?

Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart are the top 3 platforms for e-commerce when it comes to Drop-Shipping and growing with Organic Sales consistently with zero advertising spend. Less Risk, More Reward.

How does Facebook, Etsy, and Walmart pay?

Facebook sends daily payouts. The first payout will be 5 days after your first customer received their order. Etsy sends weekly payouts and then daily in the later months. Walmart pays out every 2 weeks.

How long does it take to get a return on investment?

You can expect to see a return on your investment within 9-15 months. Of course, every eCommerce store and investing partner is different, so your specific results may vary.
