  SPOD (Spreadconnect) has no subscription, setup, or monthly platform fee, and
  the REST API itself is free to use with an account access token. Sellers are
  invoiced per fulfilled order. The order price is calculated as base product
  price plus print cost plus shipping cost plus tax, and is independent of the
  retail price the seller charges their own customers. The first print area is
  included; additional print areas add a per-area fee, and Flex/Flock printing
  adds a one-time per-order fee. Base product prices vary by product type
  (roughly $6-$26). Exact per-product and per-shipping-tier rates are not
  reconciled here.
notes: >-
  SPOD rebranded to Spreadconnect. Verify current base product prices, print-area
  fees, and shipping tiers on the SPOD/Spreadconnect help center during
  reconciliation. Prices differ between US and EU fulfillment.
