How do coupons and discount affect royalties?

That's it. That's the question. 🙂

If a product is $20 and I have a 20% markup it's $24 so I make $4.

If there's a 15% discount, does that affect my $4 or does that come out of Zazzle's pocket?

@Teesed it comes out of your pocket as the royalty is calculated at the price the customer finally paid after the discount. With a shirt at $24 with a 15% sale = $20.40 - then due to the Marketing Royalty Fee you'd earn less as they take 35% for Clothing & Shoes

You'd have to raise your royalty to a lot more that 20% to earn $4 nowadays

Thank you for that info! I hadn't considered the referral fees either. I'm around 30% on all products, but will start looking more at my earnings reports to see where we are. I'd really like to be at a 25% final profit.

Where can one find the list of those MRF %?
