Payment Rates
topWelcome Rate for New Authors
The Welcome Rate is available until May 31th, 2008.
All new authors, Flash Developers or Interactive Design Agencies, can reach directly to the maximum 60% fixed rate for three months if they are making at least $500 total sales in their first 30 days of membership.
After the 3 month period every author’s rate will be established automatically according to our payment rates table. You can read more about payment rates below.
Welcome rate has priority over all payment rates presented below.
topBasic Rate (40%)
Our rates are flexible and vary from 40% to 60%.
You can earn up to 60% of every item sold if you are selling exclusively through FlashComponents, and if you reach specific sales amounts.
If you are a regular FlashComponents.net Author, when you sell items through the site you earn 40% of every item sold. This amount accumulates in your account until you withdraw it, either into MoneyBookers or into a PayPal account.
topSell Exclusively through FlashComponents (+10%)
If you agree to sell some products exclusively through the FlashComponents site (these items appear here and nowhere else), then the rate of payment increases up to 10%, depending on how many exclusive and non exclusive products you have.
Your product becomes exclusive when you check the Exclusive Product option, and you agree to be bound by the content of the Legal Act.
For example, if you have 10 products which are exclusive products, then you receive the maximum of 10% for exclusivity. If you have 5 exclusive products and 5 non exclusive products, you will receive 5% for exclusivity from the total of 10% offered exclusively and so on. The more exclusive products you have, the bigger your exclusivity percentage will be.
topSales amounts (+10%)
While your sales volume is increasing you are gaining percentage points.
The sales amount percentage adds to your basic rate, and is unaffected by the exclusivity percentage.
The sales amount - percentage table looks like this:

Examples:
If you have accumulated 10% exclusivity percentage you will receive 40% + 10% = 50% of every sale.
If you have accumulated 10% exclusivity percentage and 10% sales amount percentage you will receive 40% + 10% + 10% = 60% of every sale.
These are the rates as of the October 22th, 2007.
topPayment procedure
Unless you choose to close your account with us, payment will occur in the following manner, depending on the level of sales you are entitled to:
If you accumulate over USD $50.00, you can have the amount credited to your PayPal or Moneybookers account.
If you choose Moneybookers as a payment option then it might concern you two issues:
1. The payment to your Moneybookers account can be made only in a few days (usually two days) after you make the withdraw request. This is a standard procedure for Flash Components Network in our collaboration with Moneybookers.
2. FlashComponents.net retains 5% from the total amount, representing commissions (commission of Moneybookers and other expenses).
We strongly recommend you to choose PayPal because in this case you won't lose the 5% and the payment occurs in 24 hours from the withdraw request moment.

topAdd components
When adding products, you have to respect certain communication rules we observed that attracts more customers and we wish to bring them to your knowledge.
1) The product image: is it important to add? An image is worth more than a thousand words. Over 85% of clients choose the products with images and samples available.
The product image should be equally sided. If it isn’t, FlashComponents will calibrate it automatically without any effort from your side, all you have to do is add it.
The images should be on a white or neutral background. If they aren’t it’s not a problem. FlashComponents will take care of this too.
2) Price: Every product should have a price. The consumers are, as you know, very sensitive to price, but at the same time frustrated if they can’t find it.
3) Key-words: They are necessary because 75% of the users use the “Search” option, and they search for certain key-words.
4) Category: Use a relevant category for specific products. The Component should be in the exact category where users expect to find.
5) Product Description: in conjunction with the classification information above, the detailed description of a product will help to give a general overview of the presented product (overview, supported flash versions, features, technical specifications …etc, all are important). And don’t forget: tell what the product will do, but the most important thing is why it is better than other products from the same category.
6) Add online examples, make downloadable trial versions of the component available, and complete the technical specifications in the section Help&Support.
topComponent status
To edit the components go to “My account”. In “Product status” in the section “My components” you can view the status of the components in real time. They are classified in 3 categories:
• Rejected – those are the components rejected by FlashComponents.net and which require editing from you.
• Pending – the components that are going through the approval process by FlashComponents.net.
• Approved - Online – those are the components that are approved and are visible on the FlashComponents.net website.
Important: Please take in note that only the components that are in the sections “Rejected” and “Approved” can be edited or deleted.
