So basically, the prices have shot up, by a considerable amount, and the only way to keep my store prices the same is to take a hit on my design markup?!
I have 9 stores and hundreds of designs. This is just absolutely crazy. So I either manually adjust hundreds of products to keep my prices the same and make less money (to keep customers) or just jump ship after 6 years?

Looks like I’m leaving…

Yes, up to 60%, and elsewhere it’s been said that once you hit a threshold, the increased percentage applies to ALL the prior sales, not just the sales PAST that threshold. That is, if you sell 1001 items, you get the 60% on ALL OF THEM.

That’s VERY impressive for mid- to high-volume sellers. Implement design image resolution limitation (so we don’t get our designs easily ripped off anymore), and it’ll be a very nice selling platform!

The help article answered the question. Caps at 60%: “The table below has been put together to illustrate how you can earn between 2.5% and 40% on top of the Affiliate Commission…” Awesome!

I find the new volume commission generous. Thank you. However, the graphic is unclear. The first part of the graphic suggests that the 20% affiliate commission is part of the volume commission, while the second part of the graphic says that the volume commission is added to the 20% commission. Does the total (non-design) commission cap at 40% or 60%?

Thank you also for mentioning the price “adjustments.” The products I’ve looked at show Spreadshirt’s share of each sale increasing by 9% to 36% at the low volume 20% commission. That means customer prices have to go up by at least this amount for shop owners to continue making their current commissions at low volume. Because the new commission is at least 20%, customer prices necessarily increase for any product whose old commission was less than 20% of the new, higher base prices.

I’m with Josh, it was fun while it lasted. I truly do appreciate the 5 years of service that Spreadshirt has provided for me, and I would like to thank everyone at Spreadshirt for that. It’s clear that Spreadshirt is headed in a direction where they no longer care to have as many small shop owners, which is fine. I think this change could have been handled in a better, more transparent way, but nobody’s perfect.
