Author’s commission rate shall start at 50% – 65% when Author sells an item exclusively on the Company Marketplace of his/her sales revenue and 40%-65% for non-exclusive items.
The author receives a 50% commission on sales of products that have a buyout license (logo templates).
When Author selects to sell the products or services on the Company Marketplace on a non-exclusive basis, the sale’s commission shall be at a flat rate of Author’s sales revenue.
Our price formation has changed, and the retail price of every product now includes the Customer Fee. In order to calculate the retail price, we use the formula below:
Your price + Customer fee = Retail price.
Please see this post for more information on Customer Fees.
