Sales volume tiers

The Sales Volume Tier (or SVT) help you get even more out of the Photofrog platform. It works on the basis that the more you sell the more benefits are available to you.

How it works

A monthly sales average is calculated from the payouts earned over a rolling 3 month period. Once a month, accounts are automatically updated into one of three tiers based on the most recent 3-month payout history (note that if your account is not yet 3 months old, the monthly average will be calculated from your signup date).

The three tiers are: low, mid or high volume.

Sales buffer

Users that have been on the Prime or Team plans for 3 months or longer qualify for a sales buffer period. The buffer period allows you to achieve a higher sales tier quickly and easily especially when you work during certain seasons only.

When the buffer period is activated, your worst month will be disregarded when we calculate your average monthly sales. That means only your best 2 months of the last 3 months will count toward your monthly sales average amount.

For example, if your sales over last 3 months were: January R1000, February R4500 and March R7500, we will only take Feb and March into account. This will boost your monthly sales average to R6000 instead of R4333.

Qualifying criteria

The current qualifying criteria for each tier are as follows:

Sales Volume Tier	Avg. monthly payouts required
Low Volume	R0
Mid Volume	R5000
High Volume	R20,000+
