Know Your Cost!

​The amount you need to pay to YourDesign Store for customizing a product is termed as YourDesign Store Commission or YDS Commission. Apart from this amount, there is no compulsory payment or subscription to be paid to YourDesign Store.


Once you add a new product it will initially be in “Awaiting” status.



This means that the product has been added and is currently waiting for YourDesign Store to verify the details and update the YDS commission for the product. 


The quoted YDS commission from our side will include the following:

  • Blank Product Price

The blank product price is the cost of an un customized product.

This is fixed and can be viewed from the catalog.


  • Customization Charges

The customization charge includes 2 parameters -


Pre-Treatment:

Pretreating is the process of preparing a garment for printing with white ink that utilizes pretreatment to prevent the absorption of it into the fibers.


The pretreatment fluid creates a chemical barrier on the garment that causes a chemical reaction when the white ink touches it that gels the bottom of the ink and allows it to sit on the top of the fibers to create a good under base to print the CMYK inks on.


Printing Charge:

The printing charge varies based on the complexity of design.

To calculate the printing charge, we calculate what volume (or CC) of ink is used to print a certain design.


And based on the ink consumption, the printing cost is calculated.


  • Packaging Charges

Eco-Friendly Brown paper bags are used for packaging purposes.

A standard packing fee of Rs. 8 is charged for all products except Mugs and Posters.


Mugs are packed using thermocol molds at Rs. 20 each and posters in corrugated rolls at Rs. 40 each.


  • GST

A 5% GST is applicable for most products.

For mugs, there is a 18% GST.



Adding these four costs, a final YDS commission is calculated. This is then updated under your product details.


Once the commission has been updated, the product will be accepted. You can see the YDS commission for each variant under Product Variants.


Based on YDS commission, you can adjust your profit margin and decide your selling price.
