I'll be around if any of you run into any questions or concerns with this as well! We're pretty excited about this change, and it will benefit you - the creators! - the most! Please do not hesitate to ask Keith or I any questions, we'll be more than glad to help. Have fun setting up your shops!

[edit] Using this post to go over things mentioned in the thread - PLEASE read the first post and this before posting, it will help a lot with questions!

I'm confused, what is "full price"?

Also - important note! The items that were made "direct to CS" in the past are currently lost in a void. I'm pushing a change to add them to this system automatically.

Keith was just using 500 CSC as an example - things are still variously priced based off the categories and I worked on! So things can still be as little as 200 CSC (300 CSC selling price in the 'cash shop') and as much as 500CSC (600 CSC to sell)

Having them in your own shop may be a small amount of extra work for you as the creator, but it is still a lot less work than trying to fill individual slots (at least in my opinion - I get tired of that real fast xD). Direct-to-cash-shop will still exist, it will just go directly into your shop without you having to fill the first batch =) This will also work well in case of say, cult-specific or pink group-specific items where the cult or ping group is privy to the password and able to get the items out of shops.

[edit] Just wanted to add - you STILL have the option to fill individual batches! That will always remain. If you only want to do 3 batches an want to do them all the traditional amount - especially because you're concerned about earning a full amount from the 'base price' of a batch (100 CSC instead of 75, etc) - you still have this option available to you =)

Direct to cash shop (now direct to your shop) is still an option :)

You can set whatever price you want, though. Usually with the batches you'd still have to pay 400/500/600CSC per item, and then you'd get whatever the person paid on top of that as your cut. That is still the case here? Since you aren't filling slots, the item still costs 300/400/500/whatever the base price is, but now you're given a cut even if you set it at the base (to make up for the 25/50/whatever csc you'd usually get by charging an extra 100CSC per item)

Right now with a lot of smaller/cheaper CWs, we see them mostly going into the cash shop (either directly or after an initial batch), where they are being sold for that 15% mark anyway. The biggest thing that benefits are say, backgrounds - a full batch of background costs 5000 CSC to submit, so hypothetically 500 CSC a slot. Most people sell them for 700 CSC a slot, so they're still going to earn 200 CSC per purchase -- it's based off that base price.

For example: Small jewelry costs 2000 for a slot of 10, or 200 CSC a piece. They sell in the cash shop for 300 CSC, earning you 45 CSC a sale. You put them in for 350 CSC - you are earning 150 CSC a sale, not 50 - it goes off the BASE price of the item, not the sale price.

So: 200 CSC item = auto price for 300 CSC = 45 CSC profit 300 CSC item = auto price for 400 CSC = 60 CSC profit 400 CSC item = auto price for 500 CSC = 75 CSC profit 500 CSC item = auto price for 600 CSC = 90 CSC profit

HOWEVER: 200 CSC item = you choose to sell for 400 CSC = 200 CSC profit 500 CSC item = you choose to sell for 700 CSC = 200 CSC profit

I hope that helps explain it a bit better!

Are you hitting enter or the save button? What browser are you using?

I already cleared this up but..

THE 500 CSC MINIMUM WAS AN EXAMPLE ONLY

The pricing that works now (ranging from 2000-5000 CSC for a full batch) is STILL IN PLACE.

(sorry, not trying to yell, but multiple people are asking about it so I want you all to see this xD LOOK AT IT! Embrace it!)

(THE ABOVE IS NOT AIMED AT YOU I KNOW YOU ALREADY SAW IT XD) Totally fine! Sometimes things are really clear to us behind the scenes because we talked about it so much, and it's not until you guys start answering questions that we go "oh, right, that's a good point" XD I will be editing the first/second post in this thread as needed to help explain things that are frequently asked :D

It's fine, it helps for us to know what we need to clarify, too!

The base is 4000 CSC for individual batches - the base cash shop price has always been 500 CSC for 400 CSC items, and that's the same with the shop, too! To submit it at the 'asking' price of 4000 CSC/400 CSC per item, you'll have to do it by batch.

Making a mental note for myself because I think that's a good idea -- Keith stepped away briefly, so I'll try to make a list of things like that for when he gets back! (I'm great at answering questions. Programming, not so much)

You should be able to set the number of items left in the shop to 0, which will make this show up as temporarily sold out, with the ability to add more for the next holiday =) I'll see about setting the price to 0 to make it 'disappear' from the shop!

LOVE that idea, passed it along (I'm saving links to individual posts xD).

Thanks for clearing that up! ❤️ I went ahead and alerted Keith so that can be looked into - you should definitely be able to change the number left to 0!

You can set whatever limit you'd like - however, from our behind-the-scenes programming side of things, the item will still be listed as 'unlimited'. I have one of these myself, that I submitted as unlimited but only did one batch about xD It irks me! But yeah, unfortunately we can't OFFICIALLY change it, but you can set it for however many you'd like here =)

just a quick head's up, I'm on very poor public internet right now, so if i am slow, that's why - I'm trying to keep up! I'll actually be stepping out for a bit soon so please be patient with your questions and Keith and I will address them as soon as we are back and able to!

Yes, the items are in the New Wardrobe in a button at the top. That way all of the sorting options work for it - and colors / searching / etc.

The bug that wasn't letting you update your amount to 0, or your price to 0, has been fixed :)

It's not a timed release anymore.

The base price for that item is 600CSC? So you got the right amount.
