FAQ

Questions we get a lot

Is it really free to set up a store?
Yes. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no transaction fees. Our money comes from the base rate on garments that actually sell. No sales, no cost.
How long until a store is live?
A few business days from finalized artwork and products. With camera ready art and a clear concept, we've launched stores in 48 hours.
What's the minimum to make a profit?
36 pieces sold per design. Below that we keep the margin to cover setup and waste. Above it, the markup you set is yours.
Do you help with the artwork?
Yes. Send what you have even a rough idea and our in house design team will build or clean it up. No separate design invoice.
Can we ship to individual customers?
Yep. Drop ship direct to each buyer, bulk ship to one location, or sort into groups (teams, classrooms, office floors) your call.
How do we get paid?
PayPal, Venmo, or a check in the mail once the store closes and orders ship. You tell us how on the signup form.
