Common questions

Do you take a percentage cut of my online sales?

Never. You only pay standard bank processing fees directly through Stripe. Above Designs charges zero platform markups, transaction cuts or monthly percentage fees.

Can I manage inventory and add products myself?

Yes. We provide an intuitive backend dashboard where you can update inventory, edit product details, add images and adjust pricing.

Why build custom instead of standard Shopify?

Custom builds eliminate expensive monthly app-subscription fees, load twice as fast on mobile, and allow fully customised checkout experiences that maximise conversion.

Can I sell digital downloads or packages alongside physical products?

Yes. The system handles physical goods that need shipping addresses as well as instant digital downloads or recurring subscription services.
