What Makes Spreadshop Stand Out: Key Features for Merch Sellers

Each print-on-demand service has it's own e-commerce selling features to help you automate and sell custom apparel. Spreadshop prides itself on features that make personalizing and operating your storefront, customizing your products, and making sales easier.

Whether you’ve had a Spreadshop for 3 months or 3 days, there are certain selling features you should be taking advantage of! These features allow you to get the most out of designing, selling, and promoting your custom apparel.

When you sell with Spreadshop, you can manage your products and collect payments from the same place.

With our automated product creation tool, you can see what your designs look like on your merch before you're ready to publish. Sizing and placement is completely up to you!

Once your products are LIVE, we take care of the rest for you: Production, shipping, even customer service.

Build Your Brand With a Custom Shop

The look and feel of your Spreadshop is incredibly important for customer experience and selling potential of your products. The best online sellers lean into their niche with dedicated brand colors, bold imagery and curated collections.

Spreadshop has multiple plug-and-play templates that make the shop curation experience feel like a breeze. You don't need to be a software expert to build an online storefront that feels unique and is easy to navigate.

Add imagery of you or something that's relevant to your brand (logo, icons) on the homepage to grab attention. Tell more about the story behind your apparel in the About Me tab.

Your homepage is also a great place to feature newly launched designs and curated collections. And you can easily build out your own collections using our Topics Tool. Watch our video tutorial to learn how you can implement this in the backend of your shop. Curated themed collections for holiday shopping, feature new designs and push relevant products to your audience.

And you don't have to stick with the layout of your shop once you have something you're happy with. You can make changes to your shop layout at any time.

Consider revamping your shop depending on the season. Put seasonal products like hoodies, mugs, and more up front. Update the About Me page on your site to house the most up-to-date information regarding your merch or other content endeavors.

Linking to your social media platforms with your Spreadshop is also easy. We have icons for different platforms – Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, etc. – that can live at the top and bottom of your shop page. This makes it easy for people to follow you on all relevant channels and be the first to hear news about new apparel.

Customize Hundreds of Products With 1 Click

Knowing what your designs are going to look like on different products is key to creating a product line you’re proud of. Our product creation tool automatically gives you product options when you upload a design.

Limit it to standard options like T-shirts and hoodies, or pick from products you might not have considered, like stickers and magnets.

Pro Tip: Don’t overwhelm costumers by offering everything in our product assortment. We have over 300+ items ready for customization. However, having so many choices can be overwhelming for shoppers.

Instead, pick what works best for your audience! Offer the best-selling favorites. Then, think about what will work best for your niche. For example, mousepads for gamers or activewear tops for bikers.

With the automatic product creation tool, you can adjust the placement and size of your designs, too. Some designs may look better as small graphics on the front of a T-shirt. Others might work best as bold designs on the back of a hoodie or sweatshirt.

This can also help you determine if your designs are print-ready. Catch mistakes you might not have noticed beforehand and see what colors will work with the options of our apparel line.

Run Up to 10 Print-on-Demand Shops

With Spreadshop, you're not limited to just one ecommerce platform. You can actually house up to 10 online apparel shops all under the same Spreadshop account!

This is great for partners with many hobbies. It's also beneficial for organizations that want to offer different branded clothing lines. Having these shops under one account makes it easy to track your earnings and access the backend of all your shops.

You don’t need multiple usernames and passwords – it’s that simple!

Even if you don’t feel like this feature is beneficial to you right now, it’s great to have the option. You might want to create clothing for a new hobby down the line. You could also use this feature to raise money for a cause you value.

This way, you won’t have to create a whole new account. Everything lives in one place.

Plenty of Promos

Every month, Spreadshop has promotional offers that shop owners can blast out to their followers. These promos range from 20% off to discounted shipping on all orders. When you use them the right way, they can keep returning customers interested in your shop and encourage new customers.

To help you promote these discounts, we regularly design promotional material that shop owners can share. We make sure to offer them in different sizes so you can get the word out on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.

Use them to your advantage when you’re launching a new design or planning a limited-time drop. This is an extra incentive to get people to buy your products.
