Limits worth knowing in Zazzle

  • The Plus and Premium prices are for shoppers' shipping, not for creators; opening a store is free.
  • The royalty percentages are on a help page we could not read, so the default rate is not stated here.
  • Zazzle Plus free shipping covers qualifying products only and ships within the U.S. for the standard plan.
  • Sales run on Zazzle's own marketplace; the sell page notes an affiliate program separately.
