What used to be a mark-up on Shop articles will become a commission percentage payment based on the combined product and print price. Adjusting our prices will increase your commission earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Together with the Affiliate Commission, we will be introducing a <strong>sales performance-based Volume Commission<\/strong> where you can earn up to an extra 40% of the product type price + print price (excluding taxes and discounts).<\/p>\n<p>We will<strong> inform you in the next few weeks about the details<\/strong> of the Volume Commission and of upcoming improvements in payout frequency.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What you should consider through the transition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You do not need to do anything leading up to or during the commission changeover, but you are welcome to adjust your design price, thereby changing the final purchase price for your customers.<\/li>\n<li>If you haven\u2019t set a design price up to this point and have earned entirely from Shop Product Mark-up, you may experience a slight loss in earnings at first. Should this be the case, we recommend adjusting the design price.<\/li>\n<li>All final sales prices will end in .99 or .49 in the future, regardless of the settings you make. Customers find this pricing structure more attractive, and you won\u2019t need to make any further adjustments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Affiliate Commission Calculation<\/h2>\n<p>These are the most important aspects of the Affiliate Commission. You can get even <strong>more detailed background information<\/strong> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/16\/qa-session-the-affiliate-commission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thorough explanation in our interview <\/a>with Product Owner Robert Schulz.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>Affiliate Commission calculation tool<\/strong> has been developed to give you a hands-on way to see how the new structure will affect your product prices and income.
