Mark-Up Program & Revenue
If you're looking to raise funds for your school, club, or organization through yearbook sales, our Mark-Up Program allows you to earn profit on each yearbook sold—when using the pre-order storefront option.
⚠️ Important:
Profit is only paid out on books sold through the pre-order storefront.
Books purchased via immediate published ordering are not eligible for profit payouts.
How It Works
Any user designated as the adviser of a yearbook project can sell their book through a custom online storefront. As the adviser, you set the selling price and determine your profit margin.
Setting Your Price
We recommend that you:
-
Estimate the maximum number of pages your yearbook may require.
-
Add the desired amount of profit per book.
-
Set the final storefront price accordingly to avoid undercharging later.
Profit Payouts
Revenue from yearbook sales is distributed via profit checks emailed twice per year:
| Orders Fulfilled | Profit Paid Out |
|---|---|
| September–December | February |
| January–August | September |
-
A 10% processing fee will be deducted from the total payout amount.
-
All payments will be sent to the email address listed by the adviser during storefront setup.
💡 To update your payout email address, go to the "Financial" section under Sales Settings in Creator Studio.
You may also opt out of receiving your profit check and opt to receive a voucher code for future yearbook purchases or donate your profits and we will place it into a fund for helping less fortunate schools get yearbooks.
