MenuWhat’s the best white label ecommerce platform to build an online store for my designer clothing brand?
I’m looking to take my offline designer clothing business online. For this, I need a white label ecommerce software that gives me full control over the platform. I’d prefer a one-time purchase, as I don’t want to pay recurring fees like Shopify charges.
Answers
1. White-Label Ready
GHL allows full branding — from domain to dashboard — so your eCommerce platform looks like your own software. Perfect if you're aiming to maintain a premium brand image.
2. One-Time Setup (No Hidden Fees)
While GHL offers recurring plans for agencies, you can resell or manage your store with your own pricing. This gives you more control compared to Shopify’s fixed monthly fees and transaction charges.
3. Built-in Sales & Marketing
Unlike Shopify, GHL includes:
Funnels for showcasing products (ideal for limited drops or luxury launches)
Email/SMS automation for retargeting and abandoned cart recovery
CRM for managing customer relationships and upselling
4. Full Ownership of the Storefront
You’re not limited to templates — you can build custom product pages, funnels, and automations that match your high-end fashion aesthetic.
5. Scales Beyond a Store
Want to launch private events, virtual lookbooks, or a VIP access portal? GHL can handle all of that — no extra plugins or third-party apps needed.

If you’re building a designer clothing brand and want a white-label eCommerce platform, your best choice is Shopify with a white-label theme or Shopify Plus if you’re scaling fast. Shopify is easy to set up, fully customizable, and supports white-labeling—meaning your store can look 100% like your brand with no Shopify branding showing.
It also works great with print-on-demand services like Printful or SPOD if you want to offer high-quality clothing without holding inventory.
For more control and a true white-label experience, Ecwid and BigCommerce are also strong options.
Ecwid is simple to embed into any website and works well for mobile shopping.
BigCommerce gives you more advanced features like custom pricing, flexible checkout, and integrations with top fashion marketplaces—all without showing their name on your site.
The key is to choose a platform that lets you own your brand look, connect easily to your suppliers or warehouses, and gives you control over SEO, mobile design, and product presentation.
You want it to feel like a premium fashion boutique, not a drop-shipping site.
Pro tip: Look for a platform that supports custom domains, no branding, and full design control—this is what keeps your store looking high-end and designer-level.
Ready to launch your fashion brand with a white-label store that looks pro and runs smooth? Start with Shopify or BigCommerce, test it out, and make sure the feel matches your brand vision. You'll thank yourself later.

What's the best platform to build a e-bookstore?
I think a natural choice is large provides like Amazon. However, if you want to sell eBooks on your own and maintain all of the revenue, then WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads would make excellent options. Both software packages are WordPress plugins and they make it very easy to deploy an e-commerce store for digital goods. Both plugins have strong development teams behind them and they have a slew of independent freelancers who can offer assistance if needed. I've used WooCommerce myself for multiple years and we've deployed many WordPress websites that use it. It has hundreds of extensions you can add on to it for maximizing the potential.Rebecca GillRG

What are the profit margins for high end home decor and furniture?
Hone decor / furniture industry is one of the highest profit promising industry today. The profit margins on home decor ranges from 20% - 45% depend on the price of the product. If you're looking to get quickly popular, I suggest you start with the online store and promote it on offline as well. Keep the margins low initially so that you can attract more buyers. As the business grows, reinvest the amount back on the business so that you can stock more varieties. All the very best.Kamal KumarKK

For every success story in Silicon Valley, how many are there that fail?
It all depends on what one decides to be a definition of a "success story." For some entrepreneurs, it might be getting acqui-hired, for some -- a $10M exit, for some -- a $200M exit, and for others -- an IPO. Based on the numbers I have anecdotally heard in conversations over the last decade or so, VCs fund about 1 in 350 ventures they see, and of all of these funded ventures, only about 1 in 10 become really successful (i.e. have a big exit or a successful IPO.) So you are looking at a 1 in 3500 chance of eventual venture success among all of the companies that try to get VC funding. (To put this number in perspective, US VCs invest in about 3000-3500 companies every year.) In addition, there might be a few others (say, maybe another 1-2 in every 10 companies that get VC investments) that get "decent" exits along the way, and hence could be categorized as somewhat successful depending on, again, how one chooses to define what qualifies as a "success story." Finally, there might also be companies that may never need or get around to seeking VC funding. One can, of course, find holes in the simplifying assumptions I have made here, but it doesn't really matter if that number instead is 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000. The basic point being made here is just that the odds are heavily stacked against new ventures being successful. But that's also one of the distinguishing characteristics of entrepreneurs -- to go ahead and try to bring their idea to life despite the heavy odds.

How do the economics behind Rent the Runway and Black Tux work? How would you calculate breakeven turnover and inventory requirements?
Ok, so I'm not an expert in fashion but I know finance. Here is my take: These two would be considered "fast fashion" retailers or better yet, e-tailers. Fast fashion simply means that unlike Coach or American Eagle or Levis, these FF retailers don't have to try to predict fashion 6 months in advance risking a big flop and having to heavily discount items that don't sell. FF retailers simply 'scout' runway shows and buy wholesale from these designer labels. A lot of designers would like this because they are essentially getting a guaranteed sale plus added exposure. Another thing is that these FF retailers don't keep their inventory for months at a time, they do so in cycles of weeks. If a designer sells out, chances are they retailer will continue to come back for more designs from them. They are purchased wholesale, on cash basis account, payable on credit of 30 days or 90 days. The economics as you state it are a bit more complex that what I care to explain here, but essentially if you were to 'replicate & improve' what I would do is scout and offer purchase orders to designers, just like they do. First order completed as 50/50 paid in full/credit term payable 60 days or so (assuming you already have a store ready to move inventory and not waste those 60 days setting up). Aim to sell all inventory before 60 days and pay balance with revenues. Extend credit term to 90 days at increased inventory, aim to sell by 60 days and keep that cycle going. What this will allow you to do is to always have inventory being paid for by customers before they are due for you essentially having the clients pay for your expansion in inventory. The break even is simple, don't sell for less than what your wholesale amount is. Typical increase from wholesale commodity goods is 30%, try that margin. If you have to discount "heavily" at 15% or 25% you still get at least 5% safe marginHumberto Valle Texas Real Estate Investor, Wholesaler, & Airbnb SuperhostHV
