Campus eBookstore is based on your store earning a percentage of the NET of each transaction. Plus a monthly fee. And Campus eBookstore is not an exclusive affiliation. You can use Campus eBookstore in parallel with any other digital affiliations you may have.

NOTE: Although our existing publisher agreements provide a 20% margin to Campus eBookstore, ebooks purchased through Google eBooks may have margins that vary up to 50% depending on competitive, dynamic pricing determined by Google and Campus eBookstore.
The Monthly Fee - No risk to your store.
- To affiliate with Campus eBookstore, all stores, including ICBA stores, pay a $100 monthly fee ($50 for ebooks and $50 for access codes).
