Find products that are already proven to sell
Most product research starts with a guess and ends with unsold inventory. The safer path is to start from demand that already exists — products people are actively buying in the US market — and only then work out whether you can source and sell them at a margin. This guide walks through that approach, and the tools that make it faster.
Start with proven demand, not a hunch
Instead of picking a product you like and hoping it sells, begin with products that already show real demand signals in a large, mature market. Demand-proven doesn't guarantee your success — but it removes the biggest unknown before you spend anything.
Check that you can actually source it
A product is only an opportunity if you can supply it. Look for supplier candidates — potential suppliers you verify yourself — and get a realistic view of source cost before you commit. Suppliers are candidates until you've confirmed them; treat any source cost as an estimate to validate, not a promise.
Estimate your margin before you commit
Demand and a supplier mean nothing if the unit economics don't work. Add your supplier cost, shipping, duty, VAT, and fees to see an estimated landed margin in your own market's currency. If it's thin before you've even negotiated, that's your answer early — when it's cheap to walk away.

Is the margin a guarantee of profit?
No. Every figure is an estimate based on the inputs you provide. It's a planning tool to check unit economics before you source — not a promise of profit.
Do you verify the suppliers?
No. AtlasAQ surfaces supplier candidates for you to verify yourself. We don't guarantee any supplier is a match for your exact product.
Where do the fees come from?
You enter your own Amazon referral and FBA fees. We don't assume them, because they vary by category, size, and marketplace.
Which markets are supported?
The calculator supports multiple selling markets — you choose yours, and the estimate is in that market's currency. More markets are added over time.
