Publish your print-ready artifact to the rCart catalog.
Buyers add copies to a shared cart. Orders accumulate toward tier thresholds.
When the combined order hits a tier, the print run triggers automatically.
The nearest cosmolocal provider prints and ships. Revenue splits to creator, community, and provider.
Orders from different titles count toward the same tier. A community reading list can hit trade-edition pricing even if no single title has 100 orders.
Group purchasing is built right into the shop. Every rPubs artifact can be listed, batched, and fulfilled through rCart.
rPubs creates the artifact.
rCart sells and fulfills it.
Every print run is routed to the nearest capable provider. Reduce shipping emissions, support local economies, and still benefit from shared design and pooled demand.
