  Gooten has no subscription or per-seat pricing for its platform or API. There
  are no setup fees and no monthly fees - you pay only the per-order production
  cost (product + print) plus shipping, and only when an item is actually
  manufactured and shipped. You set your own retail price and keep the margin
  above Gooten's base cost. The API itself is free to use; access is gated by
  having a Gooten account (RecipeID + PartnerBillingKey), not by a paid tier.
  High-volume merchants can negotiate custom rates with Gooten's enterprise team.
notes: >-
  Per-product base costs vary by item, decoration, and region and are returned
  live by the productvariants, shippingprices, and price endpoints rather than
  published as a fixed rate card. The example base cost below (a Bella 3001
  t-shirt) is illustrative from Gooten marketing and is not reconciled. Verify
  current costs via the API and the Gooten pricing pages.
