Is there a monthly subscription fee?

No. There is no platform subscription fee or monthly minimum. You pay only for books as they print. Charges accumulate and are billed weekly via the credit card on file.

How is printing priced?

Printing is priced per unit based on your book's specs: page count, paper type, color, binding, cover, and size. Use the calculator above to see the exact cost for your configuration. All pricing is transparent with no hidden fees.

What is the Partner tier?

Partner status is earned by creators who include a small print attribution note in their files (e.g. in the footer of a page or the inside cover). In return, we prioritize their orders in our production queue and ship within 4 business days instead of 6. It's our way of saying thank you for helping spread the word about Cultivate Print. Partner status is granted manually by our team.

Can I see the quality before I sell anything?

Yes. Order a sample of your book at standard cost. When your first production order ships, we credit the sample's print cost back to your account, so trying us is effectively free once you're selling.

How does shipping work?

Every US order ships at a flat $7.60 ground rate ($16.50 expedited), whatever the book weighs. One number on every platform, so your pricing setup takes minutes instead of wrestling with carrier-calculated rates.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure payment processor.

Is there a setup fee?

No setup fees, ever. Upload your file, configure your product, and you're live.

Pricing

Pay for the book and the postage. That's it.

No subscriptions, no setup fees, no minimums. You pay the wholesale print cost per book plus a flat shipping rate, and we only print when someone orders.

A 100-page full-color coil workbook costs $13.05 to print.

Sell it at $34.99 and keep $21.94 a book. That's a 63% margin.

200-page B&W planner $17.85 · 180-page color wire-o journal $25.18 · 48-page color booklet $7.40

Printing a few hundred or more of a single title at once? That's offset territory and the math works differently — tell us what you're running and we'll quote it.

How billing works

You pay per book printed, billed weekly to the card on file. You set your own retail price, and your profit is the spread. Shipping is a flat $7.60 per US order ($16.50 expedited), whatever the book weighs. We set the rate from our actual carrier and packaging costs and adjust it periodically, so your pricing math stays a single number on every platform with no shipping plugins or carrier-calculated rates.
