Sellvia
Sellvia sets up a hosted dropshipping store for beginners: a 14-day trial, then from $39 a month plus per-order, advertising and withdrawal fees.
Our take: Sellvia gives a beginner a hosted store, a catalog, order processing and 24/7 support for a monthly plan that starts at $39 after a 14-day trial.
Sellvia is a WordPress-based dropshipping store service run by Sunshine Ecommerce LLC (DBA Sellvia LLC) of Irvine, California. It starts with a 14-day free trial that needs a card, then the Basic plan costs $39 a month, billed monthly, and separate fees apply to orders, advertising and withdrawals (checked 29 October 2026). Sellvia's Terms of Use call what you earn Commission, a promotional incentive it sets and pays, and say no earnings are guaranteed.
A turnkey dropshipping store from $39 a month after a 14-day trial, with fees on orders, ads and withdrawals and no guaranteed income; read Section 1.4 of the Terms of Use before you pay.

Our takeSellvia gives a beginner a hosted store, a catalog, order processing and 24/7 support for a monthly plan that starts at $39 after a 14-day trial.
Best / not good for
- Beginners who want a ready-made hosted store and a catalog
- Sellers who have read the Terms of Use and accept the fee list
- Owners who want a personal business manager and 24/7 support
- Anyone who needs guaranteed or predictable income, which Sellvia says it does not offer
- Sellers who want customers to pay them directly: in a Storefront, Sellvia is the seller and pays the owner Commission instead (Terms of Use 1.2.3 and 1.4.1)
- Sellers outside the US, where the Terms set a $300 minimum redemption
Friction report
Trade-offs to know before signing up.
- Time to valueThe store is built after a short survey, but a first payout needs a sale, order processing, a 3-day hold, identity verification and at least $100 available.
- Scale breakpointBasic caps a store at 5,000 products and 4 GB; Advanced ($99) and Ultimate ($299) open only after three consecutive months of payment.
- Walled gardenCanceling deletes the free turnkey store, and Commission not redeemed within 14 days of Sellvia's notice is forfeited.

From Sellvia's pricing page, checked 29 October 2026. The page says fees are shown as separate line items before you pay, that fees may change, and that the Terms of Use prevail if the two documents differ. The two do differ on three figures (the Commission Use Fee, the ACH fee and the express ACH minimum), shown in the rows above. Sellvia's help center also says a 28% fee applies whenever you top up Order Processing Credits, whatever the source of the funds.
How earnings reach you
| Stage or rule | What Sellvia says | Where |
|---|---|---|
| What the money is | Terms of Use: Commission is a Sellvia-funded, non-cash promotional incentive, not customer money or sales revenue; Sellvia sets the amount and may change the program terms for new orders without notice. The help center describes the same money as your earnings, the gap between your retail price and Sellvia's cost. | Terms of Use 1.4; help center |
| Pricing control | Help center: 'You control your pricing and profit margins' and customers 'pay the retail price you set'. Terms of Use: product listing prices are controlled at the platform level and the Customer may not set or change them. | Help center; Terms of Use 1.1.1, 1.2.3 |
| Who is the seller | Terms of Use: where a store uses Sellvia's checkout (a Storefront), Sellvia is the seller and receives the customer's payment; where a store connects its own payment system, the customer pays the store owner and no Commission arises. | Terms of Use 1.2.2 to 1.2.4, 1.4.6 |
| Hold | After an order is processed, earnings sit in a 3-day hold, then 75% becomes Available. | Help center |
| Risk Reserve | The other 25% is held for 125 days and then released to Available; Sellvia says it is not a fee. The Terms describe up to 75% becoming Available and the rest awaiting allocation for up to 125 days, at Sellvia's discretion. | Help center; Terms of Use 1.4.2 |
| Minimum payout | $100 in the help center. The Terms say $100 for US residents and $300 for residents of all other countries. | Help center; Terms of Use 1.4.3 |
| Conditions | An active, fully paid subscription; phone and identity verification; all orders processed. No bank withdrawal during the 14-day trial. | Terms of Use 1.4.3; help center |
| Payout speed | US bank transfer 5 to 7 business days, international wire 5 to 8, express options about 1 business day. | Help center |
| Payout service | Trolley, with a one-time setup that includes a tax form. An older help article still names MassPay. | Help center |
| After cancellation | Help center: payouts stop and the Available balance becomes inaccessible. Terms: 14 days from Sellvia's notice to redeem Available Commission with no minimum; the rest is forfeited. | Help center; Terms of Use 1.4.7 |
From Sellvia's help center articles and Terms of Use (last updated October 2026), checked 29 October 2026. Where the two sources differ, both are shown; the pricing page says the Terms of Use prevail.
What to check before you pay
- Trial and billing: The trial needs a card. Billing starts after 14 days and renews monthly until you cancel, and Sellvia emails a reminder 3 days before the trial ends.
- Section 1.4 of the Terms of Use: It defines Commission, the reserve, the payout conditions and what happens on cancellation. The pricing page says the Terms of Use prevail over the summary pages.
- Your country's minimum: The Terms set the minimum redemption at $100 for US residents and $300 for residents of other countries; the help center says $100.
- Redeem before you cancel: The Terms give 14 days from Sellvia's notice to redeem Available Commission after cancellation, and the help center says to withdraw before you cancel.
- The refund window: The Terms give a 100% refund of the latest subscription payment if you ask support@sellvia.com within 30 days; for monthly plans only the current payment period is refundable.
- Dated outside reviews: Capterra and Trustpilot carry customer reviews, and the Better Business Bureau lists complaints. Check the dates and read both the complaints and the praise; Conversion Gems does not quote or score them.
- Optional weekly add-ons: The Terms of Use (section 1.1.3.2) describe optional Performance Tiers billed separately each week: Plus $19, Advanced $39, Pro $69 and Elite $99, with a free Basic tier.
