Dashboard Lite for marketplace sellers

As a marketplace seller, new U.S. shipping requirements create opportunities to differentiate with transparent pricing. Dashboard Lite helps you calculate duties, update your pricing, and prepare for streamlined Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) fulfillment—all starting free.

The challenge:

  • U.S. shipments now require tariff payments, regardless of value
  • Customers get surprise fees at delivery without proper planning
  • Many postal services have suspended or limited U.S. shipments
  • You need to stay competitive while managing these new costs

Your solution: Price with duties included

Calculate what duties will cost for your products, then build those costs into your marketplace prices. When customers buy, they pay everything upfront—no surprise fees at delivery. Then, connect your marketplace to automatically retrieve orders and print U.S. shipping labels directly from Dashboard Lite, with all duties prepaid and access to Zonos' negotiated commercial rates.

How Dashboard Lite works 

Use Dashboard Lite's free tools to calculate and understand what tariffs will cost:

  • Item Quoter: Enter product description, price, and origin country to get instant postal and commercial duty rates
  • Shipment Quoter: Detailed breakdowns for shipping costs and multiple items (coming soon)
  • Unlimited calculations: No subscription fees—calculate as many products as you need
  • Multiple currencies: Work in your local currency for easy pricing decisions

Then, update your marketplace prices:

  • Add calculated duties to your listings as a buffer
  • Market as "duties included" for competitive advantage
  • Maintain profitability while offering transparent pricing to customers

Example: Your handmade ceramic mug costs 50 USD. Duty calculations show 9.90 USD for commercial carriers or 5.00 USD for postal services. Price your listing at 60+ USD (commercial) or 55+ USD (postal) to cover duties and stay profitable.
