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%?\r\n\r\nThank 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.","content_text":"I find the new volume commission generous.
