Managed Inventory Earnings

Earnings from customer-owned inventory items sold are calculated every quarter. In some quarters you may have more earnings than fees, and in some quarters you may have more fees than earnings. When fees are due, your card on file will be charged quarterly. When earnings are due, Store Credit will be applied to your account quarterly. Store Credit can be applied towards inventory re-orders or print-on-demand apparel, or cashed out up to twice per year.

Here is a Sample Order Scenario…

Green is what Store owners make, Yellow are fees associated with management of inventoried items. All dollar values are hypothetical.

  • Visitor orders 1 customer-owned inventory jacket for $130 (set by store inventory owner), and 1 print-on-demand beanie for $20 (set by Life Brand platform retail price), for a total of $150.
  • Visitor pays $150 with a credit card.
  • Because customer-owned inventory exists in this order, 10% of the payment is immediately deducted for card transactions & platform fees. ($150 -$15 = $135 Remaining Funds from Total Payment)
  • Variable shipping fees, handling, taxes, and any other variable fees such as product customizations are then deducted from the total payment collected. (For example, this customer did not pay for shipping because their total was above Life Brand’s free shipping threshold, but they did pay taxes… For simplicity, say this is $5. $135 -$5 = $130 Remaining Funds from Total Payment)
  • Because a print-on-demand item exists in this order, the store will receive its standard 20%-50% Profit Share at Store Credit based on its base platform plan. (For Example: Gold Plan Store receives $7.50 with a 50% Profit Share for print-on-demand item and go directly into Store owner’s Store Credit, $135 -$7.50 Profit Share -$12.50 to Life Brand = $115 Remaining Funds from Total Payment). Print-on-demand items will always be calculated first.
  • Because customer-owned inventory exists in this order, Remaining Funds of $130 are held for Store owner’s Store Credit for inventoried item(s) before calculating customer-owned inventory order fees.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $5 Order Pack Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $3 Large Item Pick Fee for the jacket will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, and because no handling amount was paid: a $10 Local Standard Flat Rate Shipping Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due. A $2 Handling Fee will also go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because customer-owned inventory fees exists on this order, $20 in fees are deducted from Remaining Funds of $130, and Store receives $110 for inventoried item(s) and go into Store owner’s Store Credit.

Quick Summary

  • Store receives $117.50 for inventoried item(s) and print-on-demand item(s) profit share and goes into Store owner’s Store Credit.

Sample Order Scenario when Paid with Gift Code

Green is what Store owners make, Yellow are fees associated with management of inventoried items. All dollar values are hypothetical.

  • Store owner gives out a $200 gift code.
  • Visitor orders 1 customer-owned inventory jacket for $130 (set by store inventory owner), and 1 print-on-demand beanie for $20 (set by Life Brand platform retail price), for a total of $150.
  • Visitor places order with $200 gift code and now has $50 remaining (if gift code allows saving additional funds).
  • Because there is no physical payment made on this order, there is no 10% fee applied.
  • Because a print-on-demand item exists in this order, and a gift code was used, the store will need to cover payment for the print-on-demand item based on its platform plan. (For Example: Gold Plan Store receives a 50% profit share, which would be $7.50 that is deducted from the $20 beanie. $12.50 Print-On-Demand Item Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due. Print-on-demand items will always be calculated first.
  • Because customer-owned inventory exists in this order, and a gift code was used, there is zero balance to distribute for customer-owned inventory.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $5 Order Pack Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $3 Large Item Pick Fee for the jacket will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, and because no handling amount was paid: a $10 Local Standard Flat Rate Shipping Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due. A $2 Handling Fee will also go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because customer-owned inventory fees exists on this order, $32.50 Total Order Fees will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.

Quick Summary

  • $32.50 Total Order Fees will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.

Sample Order Scenario when Paid with Partial Gift Code and Credit Card

Green is what Store owners make, Yellow are fees associated with management of inventoried items. All dollar values are hypothetical.

  • Store owner gives out a $100 gift code.
  • Visitor orders 1 customer-owned inventory jacket for $130 (set by store inventory owner), and 1 print-on-demand beanie for $20 (set by Life Brand platform retail price), for a total of $150.
  • Visitor places order with a $100 gift code, and pays $50 with a credit card.
  • Because customer-owned inventory exists in this order, 10% of the payment is immediately deducted for card transactions & platform fees. ($50 -$15 = $35 Remaining Funds from Total Payment)
  • Variable shipping fees, handling, taxes, and any other variable fees such as product customizations are then deducted from the total payment collected. (For example, this customer did not pay for shipping because their total was above Life Brand’s free shipping threshold, but they did pay taxes… For simplicity, say this is $2. $35 -$2 = $33 Remaining Funds from Total Payment)
  • Because a print-on-demand item exists in this order, the store will receive its standard 20%-50% Profit Share at Store Credit based on its base platform plan. (For Example: Gold Plan Store receives $7.50 with a 50% Profit Share for print-on-demand item and go into Store owner’s Store Credit, $35 -$7.50 Profit Share -$12.50 to Life Brand = $15 Remaining Funds from Total Payment). Print-on-demand items will always be deducted first. If remaining card funds do not cover total amount due for print-on-demand item, remaining print-on-demand fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because customer-owned inventory exists in this order, Remaining Funds of $15 are held for Store owner’s Store Credit for inventoried item(s) before calculating customer-owned inventory order fees.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $5 Order Pack Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, a $3 Large Item Pick Fee for the jacket will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because an inventoried item exists in this order, and because no handling amount was paid: a $10 Local Standard Flat Rate Shipping Fee will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due. A $2 Handling Fee will also go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
  • Because customer-owned inventory fees exists on this order, $20 in fees are deducted from Remaining Funds of $15, and $5.00 Total Order Fees will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.

Quick Summary

  • $5.00 Total Order Fees will go into Store owner’s Payable Balance Due.
