Questions & Answers about the New Tag

Hmm . . .It looks the same to me- what is actually different about it (fall ‘26)?

Our software developer has updated our tags with new encrypted information in the barcode and a small premium built into the printed price.

Do I need to do anything differently?

Nope!
Enter and price your items exactly as you always have. The only thing that changes is the price that prints on the tag and the encryption underneath the barcode. Just like always, the system formats the tags and handles everything automatically. You don’t need to do anything to make this happen.

Will this affect how much I earn?

Nope, again!
You will continue to earn 60% of the price YOU enter. Nothing changes in your payout. You are making the exact same amount!

Can you give me a quick example?

Yes of course! When you enter a tag for $10, you will earn $6 when it sells — exactly as before. (the tag though will automatically print at $10.50 and that’s what the shopper will see and pay.) Note: this is true no matter the price of the item. If you enter an item for $200, the tag will print at $200.50. You will keep 60% of $200. The Sail will keep the other 40% as always . . .plus the $.50 cents!

So, I need to reprint my tags?

Yes, absolutely. This is important.
All sellers must reprint tags this season if you are transferring from other sales or other seasons. You do not have to “re-enter” the tag into the system after you transfer, you just need to re-print. The system will prompt you. If you do not reprint your tags, the system will charge you the premium instead of the shopper!

Why was this change made?

It’s the new industry standard that is being lead by our software developer, and we’re here for it because it allows us to:

  • Change nothing about how you, our sellers, are paid or about how you enter items

  • Keep seller fees low and keep payout percentages the same

  • Continue improving the event experience and offer more perks to our sellers

  • Align our in-person sales with how our online sales already operate

  • Contribute to the ever rising costs of software development, marketing, labor & venue rental without affecting seller pay

Does this change how I should price my items?

No. You don’t have to do anything differently.
Price your items exactly as you normally would. You are always in control of your own prices and your payout will remail 60% of what YOU price the item at.

Is this visible to shoppers?

Shoppers simply see (and pay) the final price on the tag, just like any retail setting.

Anything else I should know?

Nope — everything else about selling with Sail Again stays the same! (Well . . .not everything . . .we are adding some more cool shopping perks for you!)


What does the new tag look like?

Well, it looks remarkably like . . .the old tag! Ha! (but now with the encrypted barcode information!) Here’s an example:
