Calculating Net Proceeds for Retail Buy Now Buttons
USB Flash Drive Prices | SINGLE Disc Set Prices | MULTI Disc Set Prices | Buy Now Button Net Proceeds | Quality | Product GalleryTrepStar specializes in short run, on demand, CD/DVD/USB manufacturing & fulfillment. You may always order in bulk (25 or more units) but TrepStar offers low prices when you order just a single unit at a time. Many of our publishers submit single quantity orders and have TrepStar make and ship them on demand at order time. Once your product is configured, our system is mostly automated which keeps prices low at any quantity.
If you use our TrepStar Buy Now Buttons / Shopping Cart
to sell your individual products to individual customers (TrepStar handles all manufacturing & fulfillment on demand at order time),
you need to know your net proceeds so you can calculate how much to charge your customer.
Normally, your product is a single disc in a CD or DVD case. However, TrepStar offers multi disc sets.

Multi disc set net proceeds example - retail price $50.00
These examples assume your customer purchases a single quantity of your multi disc set product. The process fee stays the same, based on your retail price, but the cost of manufacturing goes up depending on how many discs are in your multi disc set project. Net proceeds for a standard single disc set product are shown in the section above.

| Key | |
| #Discs | How many discs are in this set. Larger sets have a higher manufacturing cost. Products with 2 or more discs are packaged in DVD cases that can hold more than one disc. [See a Video]. |
| Price | This is the retail price you set. Total costs to you are based on the flat transaction fee and how much it costs to manufacture the product. |
| Process Fee | We charge a simple 5% transaction fee. This covers our merchant fees. We pass this charge onto you. |
| COGS | This is the cost of goods sold. This means the cost to manufacture this product. Large multi disc sets cost more so you must charge a higher retail price to cover this cost. |
| Fee + COGS | This is the total of merchant fees and manufacturing costs. This is the amount we deduct from your retail price which determines net proceeds to you. |
| Net Proceeds | Your net proceeds. This is the amount we owe you. Take your retail price and subtract the 5% merchant fee. Then subtract the COGS (the manufacturing cost). This is your net proceeds. |
| S/H* | What about Shipping & Handling? We pass the fulfillment cost and postage charge to the customer. We charge the customer your retail price + shipping & handling charges. They may choose expensive priority or express shipping. They may want the packaged shipped to a more costly international address. None of this will affect your net proceeds. You can easily calculate your net proceeds without worrying about adding extra cost for expensive shipping methods. If you don't want your customer to pay too much for S&H, you may absorb some S&H fees. |
