You spoke, we listened. Spreadshirt developers are in the process of removing collections from the product creation process, replacing them with a tool that will allow you to pick and choose which products you offer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tell Me More<\/h2>\n

Based on overwhelming feedback, it quickly became clear that lumping products together into collections does not provide enough flexibility for Partners. They can\u2019t specify which products they offer their customers.<\/p>\n

Thank God! Now What?<\/h2>\n

The release on the 30th of March 2017 removes collections from the product creation process. They will be replaced by a tool that gives Partners the flexibility they\u2019ve been yearning for.<\/p>\n

Partners operating within the new Partner Area will now be able to choose from a selection of 100+\/- of our best-selling products for their designs. Specifying between departments (men, women, accessories, gadget cases, etc.) and product groups (t-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, etc.) will allow for customized product offerings. Moreover, you can refine your product groups by chosing up to four categories: \u201cfashion\u201d, \u201cbest-seller\u201d, \u201corganic\u201d and \u201csports\u201d.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you want to offer only women\u2019s organic t-shirts in your Shop, you can. If you want to sell only phone and tablet cases in the Marketplace, you can do that too. Just baby clothing and hats? Absolutely!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n

The release takes place seamlessly on the 30th of March 2017.\u00a0 Once the switch has been made, it may be necessary to \u201cclean up\u201d your Shops and Marketplace offerings by recreating the products you want to offer with the new tool.<\/p>\n

What Else Do I Need to Know?<\/h2>\n

With this release, we are reducing our product range to 100+\/- products.\u00a0 This selection of products makes up over 93% of Shop orders. Essentially, it\u2019s addition by subtraction: by limiting the range to best-sellers only, the chance of making a sale increases. Products in Shops and on the Marketplace that have been created with items not<\/u> included in the reduced product range will be deleted.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve created a page here<\/u><\/a> that details exactly which products didn\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re not done yet! Future releases are on the way this spring and will include product color specification. Enjoy the new freedom, and here\u2019s wishing you good sales!<\/p>\n
