Roadmap
What is New at tredition?
Here we keep you regularly informed about innovations at tredition and inform you in time about what changes for you and your project.
Zum 31.12.2023Einstellung des Partner-Programms
tredition stellt sich strukturell und technologisch neu auf. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns entschlossen, das Partnerprogramm nicht weiter fortzuführen. Die bisher erworbenen Ansprüche werden wir natürlich komplett an die Teilnehmer des Partner-Programms auszahlen. Im Rahmen dieses Programms können ab sofort keine neuen Nutzer mehr an tredition vermittelt werden.
Bleibt gespannt auf das Jahr 2024! Es wird sich einiges bei uns tun :-).

Ab 13.07.2023Preisanpassung
Buchgroß- und einzelhändler fordern von uns höhere Anteile am Verkauf eines Buches. Speziell bei günstigen Buchtiteln übersteigt die Rabattforderung 50%. Das ist insofern nachvollziehbar, weil der Aufwand (und damit die Kosten) ein Buch zu verkaufen gleich hoch sind – egal ob Pixiebuch für 5 Euro oder Fachbuch für 50 Euro.
Aus dem Grund mussten wir nun die Konditionen bei den Verdiensten anpassen. Ab heute fallen für neue Projekte die Verdienste bei günstigen Büchern geringer aus. Wir freuen uns, dass wir aber weiterhin hervorragende Verdienste insb. bei Hardcover-Ausgaben oder Büchern mit Bilderdruckpapier zahlen können.
Bereits veröffentlichte Bücher sind von dieser Anpassung nicht betroffen.
Ab 01.06.2023VLB-TIX: Dein Buch in der digitalen Vorschau für Buchhändler

From 03.04.2023Setting the Text Designer
The tredition Text Designer is being comprehensively redeveloped. However, this development will take place over a longer period of time. For this reason, we have removed the "Text Designer" step from the current project editor. Soon you will receive from us a wide variety of templates for the book interior instead. We will inform you about it on this page. In addition, we now offer a new imprint generator (see the next item).
From 03.04.2023New imprint generator
We have now pulled our imprint generator out of the project editor. You can now create your imprint without registering with tredition or creating a book project.

From 03.042023Elimination of commission participants in the book project
In the past, it was possible to add financially involved people to one's book project. In practice, however, this offer proved to be complicated and in need of a lot of explanation. Moreover, only a few of you used it. Therefore, we have decided to stop offering this option. In new projects, the commission to 100% will go to you as the account owner.
What does that mean to you?
If you have created financial contributors in your book project, these settings will be retained. You can still see who is involved in your project and with what share on your project overview via the "Involved" tab. However, you can no longer make any changes to them.
From 21.02.2023New price calculator
We've simplified our price calculator so you can figure out your earnings and the price you'll pay for your own copies. The highlight: You can also have your setting sent to you by e-mail! In the price calculator we offer you the standard formats for books to choose from.

What does that mean to you?
If you decide against a standard format for your book, you can still publish individual formats. To calculate the earnings and price for your book in the price calculator, you simply have to choose the format in which your book "fits". The formats in the price calculator are "to" formats.
From 25.01.2023Price changes for your copies and in your earnings
What does that mean to you?
If you order copies of your book projects after 25.01.2023, the price per copy will be different (cheaper or more expensive). Your earnings per copy sold in bookstores or our store will not change. Only if you make a book update, the earnings will be recalculated.
From 01.02.2023Setting "Print-Only
We are discontinuing the "print-only" offer - that is, the exclusive printing of books without publishing and selling them. Our focus is on offering excellent books for sale on our website and, if you wish, in bookstores everywhere. tredition only earns something if your books sell.
What does that mean to you?
If you have a book on sale at tredition, nothing changes at all. You can continue to order copies for yourself. However, you can no longer create and print book projects that are intended for private use only, e.g. private photo books. If you have a "print-only" project in progress, it must be completed and printing ordered by Jan. 31, 2023.
From 01.02.2023Contact tredition via contact form and telephone
To optimize our support for you in the future, we ask you to use our Contact form to use. This allows us to better categorize your request and assign it to the appropriate colleague. Requests by e-mail will no longer be delivered after 01.02.2023.
You can also reach us by phone again! When we are there for you, you will find out here.
From 01.02.2023Focus on sensible equipment variants
The last few months have been very challenging for the printing industry. Supply chains have been disrupted and prices for paper and energy have skyrocketed. Less frequently used paper grades have grown more in price and are only available unreliably. We are therefore reducing our range to these variants:
What does that mean to you?
If your book project has equipment that is no longer listed here, we inform you that please do a book update by Jan 31, 2023, in which you will adjust the equipment according to one of the above.
If you do not customize your kit, your book will still be available in our store and in bookstores. However, the delivery time will be longer. We will inform you again if the layout is no longer available.
