Print-on-demand
Distribution of titles published using print-on-demand services constitutes the primary service provided by BDS. Published titles that have passed Bahá'í Review are submitted to BDS and assessed for suitability. If accepted, an agreement between the creator and BDS is established, documenting the recommended retail price, royalty payment, and respective rights and responsibilities. A web page is created, providing details of the title. Orders made through the BDS website are printed and dispatched immediately by means of an automated system.
