If you're selling an ebook (as a vendor) for 20 bucks, does clickbank take a percentage every time you make a sale?
It is my understanding that Clickbank purchases the vendor product wholesale and in turn sells the product through its system. It does not pay the vendor 100%, so it does take a percentage of each sell.
My product sells for 19.99 - if I make a direct sale myself, I get 17.19.. so clickbank takes 2.80 from me.
http://www.clickbank.com/accounting.html#A7 They buy off you at 92.5%, and resell to the customer at 100%. So basically, they're charging 7.5% + $1.
Silly question clickbank process the payments for you, manage affiliates, send you checks etc... and everything for FREE, they are like the good samaritan!.... Obviously not! like everything in this world they have to charge something
It's pretty small if they do. But a relatively easy way to make a sale, considering the upward potential!
Actually 7.5% is quite a lot compared to processing your own payments through a merchant account, or PayPal (< 3% for both). BUT... Clickbank do more than just process payments: they handle all the affiliate stuff for you, and that's what you pay the extra 4-5% for. Which I'm happy with.
