Pet Clothing Makers face unique challenges: Custom-sizing intake — chest, neck, back length, breed, all per order. Fabric cost vs Etsy listing price margin gets thin fast on custom one-offs. Etsy fees (6.5% + 3% + $0.20) on top of shipping math. Breed-specific patterns — Greyhound and Frenchie need totally different shapes. Sizing-dispute returns eat the margin on a $35 coat. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median pet clothing maker earns $32,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
