4. How the Payout Works: Simplified Accounting

Part 7 • ElasticStage Revenue-Share Model

The financial transaction with ElasticStage is streamlined.

<ol> <li>A customer buys your vinyl for, say, $30 from your Shopify store. The $30 (minus Shopify fees) goes to your account.</li> <li>ElasticStage charges you their base fulfillment cost (which includes manufacturing and shipping) for that one unit.</li> <li>ElasticStage then pays you your 20% royalty (e.g., $6 for a $30 vinyl) from the sale.</li> </ol> The beauty here is that ElasticStage handles all the complexities of manufacturing costs, print variations, and shipping fees. Your royalty is a clear, predictable percentage of the retail price, making accounting much simpler for you.
