Six principles
We protect your rights
and your identity.
Copyright stays with you
Duckzill uses your originals only for the agreed items and period, and never for another creator’s products.
Non-exclusive
You’re free to sell through other channels too. Creators who support the same member get separate items and schedules.
Final approval is yours
You give final approval on designs and physical samples, and we make as many color corrections as you need.
Sales stopped in 24 hours
We stop selling no later than 24 hours after you ask, and Duckzill covers the recall costs.
Identity protection
Only one person on our payout team sees your real name and bank details. You can work under your creator name or anonymously, and in seven years we have had zero identity leaks.
No reissue pitches
We keep to the limited-edition rules you set and consider a reissue only when you ask for one.
FAQ
What creators
ask us first.
- Will it clash with my group orders?
- It’s non-exclusive, so keep running your group orders and birthday cafes as you do now. We only coordinate the items we make together so their sales don’t overlap for one year around launch, with a shorter period and narrower scope for a first collab.
- Isn’t 15% low?
- The 15% assumes Duckzill covers all production, stock, logistics and customer service costs, including losses on unsold stock. If you share production and stock costs, we can agree on a higher rate. For products you make yourself, consignment pays out 95% of the sale price.
- Do I lose money if it doesn’t sell?
- No. We produce only when the demand survey reaches the target quantity, and Duckzill carries any stock left after production.
- How do I check sales?
- Every statement includes order counts and records by channel, and we send POS reports for offline sales too.
- How are taxes handled?
- For collab production, individuals resident in Korea are paid after 3.3% withholding tax, which is reconciled in your annual income tax return. Registered businesses are paid against a tax invoice. For consignment, you report the sales yourself.
- How long does it take?
- Plan on roughly 9–10 weeks from the demand survey to shipping for a collab, depending on the item. To sell in time for an artist’s birthday, confirm items and quantities 60 days ahead (D-60).
