    @Nash - So the idea is that the designers are going to be referred to as brands. And they will act like brands - they get to decide on who design the shirts and the structure of that relationship. For instance, if they asked me to design the shirt I'd prefer to have a cut of part of the brand i.e. their sales. So maybe they opt for a third party and pay them $250 for a one time project. Whatever it is the dot com will only pay themselves and the brands - once a month, cut the check.

    Down the line I imagine we're going to have to be shrewd when it comes to our suppliers. The kicker is some of these POD suppliers have great prices but their products they're off brand - we don't want to be a part of shirts that are made in Indonesia and all the baggage that comes with that.

    And you're absolutely right... prices will fluctuate on the store, and if I push the shipping onto the buyer that's an increase in revenue, and we're going to target a few brick-and-mortar places. There is money there.

    POD is not for everyone, that's for sure, but it's a great place to start. If it gets big enough to grow out of it's small pants - POD and Shopify then ok, we'll address it then.

    • sounds like a reasonable plan. Once/month payout seems like a reasonable plan but it's a pain (and expensive) to process $5-20 transactions.Gnash
    • Wait until the Brand sales reach a minimum, i.e. $250, before the payout. That way you can also account for returns (if you charge back for that)Gnash
    • Good idea, maybe every six months.canoe
