Merch Shops / Branded stores, built for you

Launch a merch store without touching a box.

Merch Shops is a branded online store built on the merch we already make and warehouse for you. You pick the products and set the prices. We pick, pack and ship every order.

Every store is set up with our team, so you are never configuring a platform on your own.

Built into every Merch Shop

Most store builders hand you a storefront and wish you luck with the product and the shipping. We start with the hard part already done.

01

The merch already exists

Every product in your shop is one we produced for you and hold in stock. No mystery supplier, no print roulette, no "ships in 3 to 5 weeks" surprise at checkout.

02

Shipping is the default, not an add-on

Your stock is already on our shelves. We pick it, pack it, ship it and send the tracking, with no separate fulfillment contract to sign.

03

Weird orders get held, not shipped

Set rules for orders over an amount, outside the countries you sell to, from throwaway email domains, or in suspicious bursts. They wait for a human instead of leaving the building.

Two ways to sell your merch

Keep the store you have, or let us run one for you. Either way the same warehouses ship every order.

We run it

Merch Shops

A store we build and host on your domain. Your products, your prices, your look, with production and fulfillment already wired in behind it.

  • No store platform to run or pay for separately
  • Stocked from the merch we already hold for you
  • Private until you have seen it and approved it
Start your store
You run it

Shopify Connect

Keep your Shopify store. Install the free app and every order for your merch flows to our warehouse, ships, and shows up fulfilled in Shopify with tracking.

  • Connect in a couple of clicks, no API keys
  • Payment and protection holds before anything ships
  • As many Shopify stores as you run

Start from a store that already fits

Every shop starts from a layout built for how it will actually be used. Then it is yours to change.

Company store

Team swag your people can grab any time, with quick reorders and a size guide front and center.

Best for Employees, alumni, partners

Brand shop

An editorial storefront with a lookbook feel, for brands whose merch is part of the product.

Best for Consumer brands, creators, media

Event store

A countdown, a short window and a clean close. Built for merch that only makes sense for a few weeks.

Best for Conferences, tours, launches

Gifting

One hero product and a single obvious button. The store that gets out of the way.

Best for Customer and partner programs

Catalog

A dense grid with filters first, for when shoppers know what they want and there is a lot of it.

Best for Large product ranges, B2B reorders

Everything a real store needs

The storefront features you expect from a serious store builder, on top of production and fulfillment you would otherwise stitch together yourself.

Every store is built with our team rather than assembled by you in a dashboard. Tell us what you want to sell and we will show you the store with your own products in it.

Your own domain
Your shop runs on a domain you own, like shop.yourbrand.com, with the SSL certificate handled for you.
Pricing your way
Put a markup on your cost across the board, or set every price yourself. Add compare-at prices when something is on sale.
Collections, menus and pages
Products grouped into collections, your own navigation, and the pages a real store needs, like a size guide or an about page.
Checkout and payouts
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with the money from your sales landing in your own payout account rather than ours.
Shipping options shoppers understand
Free, flat rate, free over a threshold, or simply what the shipping costs. You decide what the shopper sees.
The analytics you already use
Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, the Meta pixel and Microsoft Clarity, with a consent banner and Google Consent Mode v2 built in.
Order protection rules
Hold orders by amount, country, state, email domain, payment state or repeat velocity. Held orders wait for review.
Found by search engines
Your store publishes its own sitemap and robots file, so your products can be indexed from the day it goes live.

Questions, answered

What is Merch Shops?

Merch Shops is a branded online store run by Merch.com. It sells the merch we already produce and warehouse for your brand, so the product, the storefront and the shipping are one system. You pick the products and the prices, we build the store, and we fulfill every order.

How do I start a store?

Get in touch and tell us about your brand and what you want to sell. We build the store with you: the products, the prices, the domain and the way it looks. You see it and approve it before anything is public.

How is Merch Shops different from Shopify?

Shopify is a store builder: you still have to source, stock and ship the product, and you build the store yourself. Merch Shops starts from the other end. The merch is already made and sitting in our warehouse, and we build the store around it. If you love your Shopify store, keep it and connect it to us instead.

I already have a Shopify store. Do I need Merch Shops?

No. Install the free Merch.com app from the Shopify App Store and orders for your merch flow straight to our warehouse, with tracking written back to Shopify. Merch Shops is for brands that would rather we ran the store too.

What can I sell in a Merch Shop?

Products we produced for your brand and hold in stock: apparel, headwear, drinkware, bags, tech accessories and more. A shop lists only what the warehouse holds, so you are not selling against a supplier lead time.

Can I build a company store for employees?

Yes. A Merch Shop works well as an employee store where people buy their own gear. If the company is paying, use a campaign instead: it gives you invite-only access, email-domain and password gates, spend limits and per-person order caps, and we ship from the same warehouses.

Do I need my own domain?

You do not need one to get started. Every store gets an address on our platform and stays private while you review it. When you are ready, we put it on a domain you own, such as shop.yourbrand.com, and handle the SSL certificate.

Who handles shipping, and where do you ship?

We do. Orders are picked, packed and shipped from our warehouses with tracking sent to the shopper. Merch Shops sells to US shoppers in US dollars. Shopify Connect routes orders across our US, UK and EU warehouses.

How soon can my store be live?

It depends on whether we already make and hold your merch. If your products are with us, the store itself is quick. If we are starting from artwork, production and stocking set the pace. Tell us the date you want to be selling by and we will tell you straight what is achievable.

How much does Merch Shops cost?

Building your store and previewing it costs nothing. Running it is on a monthly plan, and the merch and its fulfillment are billed like any other order with us. We walk you through the numbers before anything is billed.
