What is a Store Build?

With the store build service, our team will evaluate the provided artwork to ensure it is optimized for your desired design specifications. If adjustments are needed, our team can provide these corrections for an additional fee. Then, we will build out each product based on those specifications.

Please note, out team will only evaluate the designs to be used in the store build. To have our team evaluate existing designs in the store, ask about our Store Design Audit!

Store builds can be requested at any time and can include initial store set up, existing products updates, or adding new products to an existing store. 

What information is needed for a Store Build?

We will need the following information to complete a store build.

  • Artwork File(s):  Please provide the artwork file(s) you like added to your product. We can accept artwork in the form of a PNG or vector file.
    • All artwork must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, as well as a transparent background. 
    • Artwork that does not meet our artwork requirements must be fixed before proceeding with the store build. We can provide graphic design assistance for an additional fee. 
  • Product Type: Choose from thousands of products available in our catalog. Copy and paste the product name or the product link and send to your account manager.
  • Decoration Method: We offer a variety of decoration methods that can be applied to many products. Please note, some decoration methods are limited to certain products. Our account managers will let you know if the selected product does not support the selected decoration method and offer alternate options.
    • Available decoration methods are limited by your account subscription.
    • Embroidery products will require a .DST file. You may provide your own or we can provide one for you for an additional fee.
  • Print Location(s): Each product offers specific print locations. Common print locations for t-shirts include full front, left or right chest, full back, left or right sleeve. Please note, we charge per print location. Adding print locations will increase the base cost of the product.
  • Product Colors: Many products have a variety of color options. Let your account manager know what product colors you would like to offer in your store. We recommend sticking to your brand colors or offering 3-5 options to reduce decision fatigue. 

  • Category Name (if applicable): If your store contains categories, each product will need to be assigned to one or more categories to be visible in the storefront.
  • Sales Markup: Markups are added to products so profit can be earned. Markups can be added as a percantage markup or by a dollar amount. 

Pricing

Store builds are charged per design and product quantity. 

  • $50 for 1 design on up to 10 products.
  • $100 for 1-2 designs on up to 20 products

  • $150 for 1-3 designs on up to 30 products
  • Request pricing for 4+ designs

Payment Process

Store builds need to be paid for up front. Once we receive your payment, your account manager will start the build process. The results are typically available within one week but more complex builds may exceed this timeframe.

What Happens After the Store Build?

Once the build has been completed, you'll receive a link to a preview of the storefront. You will need to review each product to ensure the designs are correct. Let your account manager know if any edits are needed. The store build service includes one round of edits.

Once all the products are approved, you will need to agree to our Terms of Service on the store page to set your store live.

How to Get Started

  • Reach Out to Your Dedicated Account Manager: Contact your account manager to request a store build. 
  • Submit Payment: Pay the fee via invoice or we can auto-charge the card on file for your convenience.
  • Review Your Store Build: Typically, within one week, you'll receive a link to preview your store to confirm that the designs are correct. If any edits are needed, let your account manager know.
  • Set Your Store to Live: Once the designs are approved, select the "click here" link from the orange banner in your store portal to set the store live.
