Revenue Split: 60% / 40%

The brands receive 60% of the retail revenue from DX event sales as well as from the DX Digital Marketplace sales. If you are connected to our Digital Marketplace via Collective, you receive your payout automatically. Otherwise, you get paid upon sending us your invoice for sold and delivered merchandise.

**Other agreements are possible for non-standard arrangements such as: if you participate in an event by sending inventory or samples only without sending a rep, the split would be 50% / 50%
