FAQ FAQ
What website is this?
This is a website that sells virtual anchor-related peripherals (original, official, or third-party). It was established in early August 2023.
Is this an official merchandise store for a specific anchor?
No, this site was originally called "LAPLACE Shop/Laplace Online Flower Shop". Its original intention was just to find it fun to open an online store and to make some cheap peripherals for myself and my friends. So I was inspired by UwU Market and started it. Therefore, it is an unofficial peripheral store created spontaneously and has nothing to do with "Mingqian Milk Green" and related projects.
Sep 6, 2023 Update : To avoid confusion and unnecessary misunderstandings. This site is officially separated from "LAPLACE". The site name was changed to "GUZI" and the domain name was also changed to guzi.moe. Other interface elements will also be gradually replaced (appointing an artist takes time), turning it into a more general peripheral online store. In addition, in order to avoid being considered as just a fan, all second-generation peripherals related to "Mingqian Milk Green" on this website are sold at cost price. Please see the detailed description below for specific strategies.
What does "millet" mean?
The Japanese word "グッズ" (i.e. goods in English) is a homophone, and it generally refers to peripheral products.
Are you authorized to sell peripherals like this?
Among the self-operated products, the peripherals produced based on the original vertical painting materials have verbal authorization in the live broadcast room (periphery sales authorization). There is no written authorization yet and will be further confirmed in the future (no eta)
Among the self-operated products, the peripheral products based on the image have obtained commercial authorization from the corresponding creators (illustrators, musicians, etc.), and the materials used are all commercial manuscripts. The corresponding creator has been marked on the specific product page. If you have any questions, you can confirm it yourself.
The third-party products on this site are all commercially authorized
What is the operating cost of this site? Is it profitable?
This site will be charged a fixed subscription fee of $29 USD/month by Shopify, and a handling fee of 2.9% + $0.30 USD for each order. If paying through Alipay, Alipay will charge an additional 2% handling fee
For self-operated products on this website, the material cost price of each product will be disclosed in a transparent manner, which can be viewed on the product details page, and the final sales price will be dynamically adjusted with the goal of breaking even (most painters would be more concerned about making public requests for drafts) price, so this site will not disclose the cost of manuscript materials)
Third-party products (cooperative products) sold on this site will be sold according to the selling price agreed by the third party.
Regardless of whether it is manpower or capital, this website will maintain operations at the lowest possible cost for a long time. The future idea is to make profits through commissions from third-party cooperative products and special limited products (if this model is feasible)
