How a price is built
Every listing shows the same three numbers, broken out clearly.
The adapter's real production cost for the product and print method — what it costs to actually make it.
The amount you earn on each sale. Start at $0 while you learn the catalogue, raise it whenever you like.
Manufacturing cost + your margin + estimated tax. Shipping is shown separately at checkout.

What you pay when something sells
Costs are deducted per order, never upfront.
The adapter cost for the item and print method, taken from the order total.
Standard processor fees apply to the buyer's payment, as with any checkout.
Calculated by destination and adapter; shown to the buyer before they pay.
Defective or misprinted items are remade or refunded on our side — not yours to absorb.
An example
A heavyweight tee costs the adapter $12.00 to make and print. You set a $8.00 margin. The buyer sees a $20.00 retail price plus shipping and estimated tax. When the order lands, the $12.00 goes to manufacturing and your $8.00 is queued for payout. Nothing leaves your account up front.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell on Desmake?
Nothing upfront. There are no listing fees and no subscription. You pay the real manufacturing cost only when an item sells, and you keep the margin you set.
What is my margin?
You choose a royalty between 10% and 50% per sale. Start at $0 while you learn the catalogue and raise it as your audience grows. Every listing shows the exact cost breakdown.
When and how do I get paid?
Your margin is tracked per order and released on a scheduled payout once the item ships and the return window clears. You can watch every order and its status in your account.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Manufacturing, standard payment processing and shipping are shown separately and taken from the order total. Defective or misprinted items are remade or refunded on our side, not yours.
Do I need inventory?
No. Items are made to order after they sell, so there is never stock to finance and no minimum order quantity.
