Saal Photo Portal does not charge any commission on the sale of your physical photo products. This means the profit from selling your products goes entirely to you. A service fee applies only to digital downloads and depends on the subscription.
For example, if the cost of a product is 100 $ and you decide to set a profit of 30%, the selling price will be 130 $ and your profit will be 30 $. No fee is applied by Photo Portal.
Selling price: 130 $
Cost of a product: 100 $
Your Gross Profit: 30 $
Saal Digital Professional Account:
In addition, if you decide to upgrade your account to a Saal Digital Professional Account, you will receive a 35% discount on all products. Continuing with the previous example, if the cost of a product is 100 $ and you set a profit of 35%, leaving a selling price of 130 $, your earnings will be 65 $. This is 30 $ of the chosen profit and 35 $ representing the 35% discount from your Saal Digital Professional Account.
Selling price: 130 $
Cost of a product: 65 $
Your gross profit: 65 $
Saal Digital uses a self-billing procedure for the payout of the Photo Portal seller’s profit. This means that Saal Digital issues the invoice on behalf of the seller for the payout amount. At the same time, Saal Digital directly handles the billing process with the end customer ordering through the galleries, acting as the contracting partner.
For more detailed information regarding compensation, self-billing, currency handling, and liabilities, please refer to the current version of our Photo Portal Terms and Conditions available at:
The date on which the amount of your earnings will be credited to your payout account can be found in Your Settlements section, within the Sales panel. There you will also find all the detailed information about your earnings, grouped by month.
You will find an overview for each month and can download the credit directly.
The profit will be credited to the payout method that you have specified in the Payment method section within Accounts.
Small businesses can also use our portal on a regular basis. In all cases, Saal Digital issues the invoice. As a small business owner, you will receive your profit and do not have to issue an invoice yourself. If you are a small business or operate under any other business model where VAT does not apply, please contact our Photo Portal customer support and let us know your status. This way, we can ensure that the self-billed invoices generated for your payouts are issued without VAT.
