Blueprints are not meant to be used as live customer websites, and they are hosted in a non-production environment, under their own generic domain.
They function specifically for the purpose of being cloned and being used as demos for your potential and existing customers.
By doing this we make development easier for you (less aggressive caching, more debug tools), and can offer reduced pricing per blueprint.
Because Blueprints are not active live customer sites, they cost only $5 a month. This allows you to offer your customers a library of pre-made sites without high costs.

Selling Dollie Services FAQ
Simple – One Site Per Subscription
This is the simplest model. You create a WooCommerce product with a subscription of $30 a month and link it to your Blueprint (pre-made website you’ve created).
When your customer purchases/signs up for this subscription they will be guided through launching their site on your white labeled platform. They can manage their website from your customer dashboard directly.
Hosting Model – Multiple Sites Per Subscription
You create a WooCommerce product that when purchased allows a customer to deploy one or multiple sites. For example:
Starter – 1 site for $25
Professional – 3 sites for $65
Business – 10 sites for $199
With Dollie you can provide one-click upgrades to plans, to upsell your hosting services easily. Since customers can be subscribed to multiple subscriptions at once you can upsell your maintenance/development services directly from the customer dashboard as well.
Perfect if you manage sites on behalf of your client. With this model you (or your team) create a customer account on behalf of your client inside your Dollie install. You launch their sites on your platform using and set-up their sites (or migrate their existing installs to your Dollie environment). Once done you sent them a checkout link to activate their subscription. For example by charging them $199 a month for Hosting & Maintenance.
You can use the Dollie access control settings to give them access to the features you would like them to access (for example hide the developer tools, but allow them to create backups or view their active plugins and themes) and build out their customer dashboard where they can find their (PDF) invoices, payment history and anything else you can come up with.
Any Payment Gateway that has a WooCommerce Subscriptions extension can be installed inside your Dollie installation to accept payments from your customers. Currently there are over 50 supported gateways so you will have extremely flexibility when it comes to accepting payments from your customers.
Absolutely, you can bill for your services anyway that fits your business model, and there are countless possibilities with WooCommerce and the WooCommerce subscription extension.
Missed payments can happen for various reasons. Subscriptions are handled by the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension, and it can be configured in various ways to give your customers plenty of time to resolve payment issues. All of this is automated and done for you. If a customer has cancelled their subscription his/her sites will automatically be scheduled for removal, with a grace period and a full site backup stored in case your customer decides to come back.
Yes, absolutely this is something that is supported. Dollie requires WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions to function. By integrating with WooCommerce, you can make use of WooCommerce’s trial functionality.
The trial sites that you offer are still customer sites and will be counted in your total at your next billing cycle
White Label FAQ
Absolutely not. Your customers and their data are all stored inside your own WordPress installation. Dollie only keeps track of the sites deployed under your partner account, but we do not have access to any of your customers data. Just like with pricing all that stays inside your own WordPress installation.
We act as a truly invisible partner.
Dollie doesn’t have any interaction with your customers, we’re simply the automation platform that enables you to deliver your services. All your customer payments are made directly through your WordPress installation using WooCommerce.
You simply pay Dollie for the number of sites on on your platform, You charge customers directly for the services you deliver, in any way you like.
Who takes the payment from the customer matters, which is why we give you the tools you need to be the person who controls what you charge, how and when you get paid, and then you can cover your overhead. They’re your customers, not ours or the cloud providers.
With traditional hosting (affiliate) setups you put a customer on your affiliated hosting platform, and from that point you’ll usually get a one-time affiliate fee, and that’s that. Another option would be to roll in the cost of hosting into your maintenance/service plans and then pay the host behind the scenes. Far not ideal, not to mention you can’t really build your own branding, pricing, customer dashboard or anything else that sets you apart from your competitors.
With Dollie we give you a wide set of business models options you the developer get to decide so that you can take the monthly payment from the customer, and then cover any hosting costs or fees.
We built Dollie because there’s a competitive gap in the market between the hosting companies and you, the business owners who actually build websites, themes, and plugins. We’ve seen many of you stuck in the rat race of trying to find that next customer, getting that next site developer, and struggling to build sustainable businesses. Meanwhile, the hosting companies have turned into multi-million and even billion dollar corporations on the backs of these same developers.
Dollie levels the playing field. We’ve built a solution to flip the power dynamic. By empowering entrepreneur developers to build sustainable products and services and generate recurring subscription revenue.
Who takes the payment from the customer matters, which is why we give you the tools you need to be the person who controls what you charge, how and when you get paid, and then you can cover your overhead.
