What are Society6 artist royalties in 2026?

Society6 pays a standard 10% artist royalty on most products (apparel, home goods, phone cases, mugs, pillows). On wall art (art prints, canvas, framed, metal), artists set their own custom markup on top of base costs — there's no cap, but higher markups reduce sales velocity.

Society6 standard 10% royalty vs custom markups

Most product lines pay a fixed 10% of the retail price to the artist. Wall art is the exception — you set your own markup, which becomes your royalty. This is the only product category at Society6 where you control your margin in 2026.

Which Society6 products allow custom margins?

As of 2026: art prints, canvas prints, framed prints, metal prints, wood wall art, and tapestries allow custom markup. All other products (apparel, mugs, pillows, phone cases, home goods) use the fixed 10% royalty.

How does Society6 compare to Redbubble in 2026?

Both pay roughly 10–20% to artists on most products. The key difference: Redbubble lets you set markup on ALL product types; Society6 only allows markup on wall art. Redbubble gives artists more pricing control across the catalog.

Does Society6 deduct payment processing fees from royalties?

No. The 10% royalty (or your custom markup) is paid on the retail price after Society6's base cost. Payment processing is absorbed by Society6, not deducted from artist earnings.
