Does Bookvault Charge Fees or Commission on Direct Sales?

No. Bookvault does not charge an additional fee, percentage or commission on your direct book sales.

When you sell directly, the costs you pay to Bookvault are the production and shipping costs for the books ordered.

What costs do I pay when selling direct?

For each order fulfilled by Bookvault, you'll pay:

• Production costs – the cost of printing your book.
• Shipping costs – the cost of delivering the order.

You can check these costs before setting your selling price using the Bookvault Quote Tool. This can help you work out how much you need to charge to cover your costs and achieve your desired profit.

Does Bookvault take a percentage of my sale?

No. Bookvault does not take a percentage or commission from the money you make from direct sales.

This means you can set your own selling price while knowing the Bookvault costs involved in producing and shipping the order.

What counts as selling direct?

You can sell directly to readers through your own online store or eCommerce platform, or place orders manually through the Bookvault portal.

Selling direct allows you to maintain control over your:

• Pricing
• Sales
• Customer relationships

Your customer relationship remains with you rather than a retailer taking a percentage of the sale.

How does payment work for eCommerce orders?

When selling through a connected eCommerce store, your customer pays you directly through your website.

Bookvault then charges you for the production and applicable shipping costs required to fulfil the order.
