Understanding Your Unit Economics
LTV:CAC Ratio
Measures the return on customer acquisition. A ratio of 3:1 or higher indicates a scalable business model. Below 1:1 means you're losing money on each customer.
ROAS
Return on Ad Spend shows revenue generated per dollar of advertising. A ROAS of 4x or higher is generally considered excellent for e-commerce.
Payback Period
Time to recover customer acquisition cost. Faster payback (under 6 months) means better cash flow and ability to reinvest in growth.
Gross Margin
Profit after cost of goods sold. Higher margins (50%+) provide more room for marketing spend and operational costs while staying profitable.

How are you different from other product personalizers?
We built Podifai to be easy for you and beautiful for your shoppers. Flat pricing with no revenue cuts. On-brand styling without code. Built for DTC brands that want a premium look and a simple setup.
What kind of personalization is Podifai suitable for?
Any product where customers want to see their choices before buying — jewelry (engravings, birthstones, charms), apparel (custom text, patches), gifts (names, messages, photos), homeware, accessories, and more. If your product has options customers want to visualize, Podifai can handle it.
Will it work with my theme?
Yes. Podifai works with all free Shopify themes and the majority of paid themes out of the box. If you run into any compatibility issues, send us your store link — we'll make it work for you.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free Forever plan includes 1 custom product with all features — live preview, customer image upload, additional price, all option types, no-code styling.
Do you support 3D live preview?
Not currently. Podifai uses high-quality 2D rendering — you can upload 3D-rendered product images for a realistic look, but the preview engine is 2D. This keeps your product page fast and lightweight.
How does the live preview work?
When a customer selects an option — a color, a charm, an engraving — the product image updates instantly on the page. No page reload, no waiting. You upload your product images and map each option to a position on the preview. Customers see exactly what they're getting before they buy.
Are there any transaction fees or revenue sharing?
No. Never. Your monthly fee is all you pay — we don't charge per order, per item, or a percentage of your sales. $0 on Free, $19 on Starter, $49 on Growth. That's it.
Can I use Podifai without coding?
Yes. Everything is point-and-click — add options, upload images, set up live preview, style to match your brand. Zero code required.
Can customers upload their own images?
Yes. Customers can upload photos, logos, or artwork directly on your product page and see it in the live preview before purchasing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel or switch plans whenever you want — no contracts, no cancellation fees. We also offer 30-day money back guarantee if you're unhappy about anything.
