Shirt Monsters Partner Shops

BY INVITATION OR APPLICATION ONLY · FOUNDING PARTNERS WANTED

Your Merch Line. Our Monster Machine.

Shirt Monsters Partner Shops give select brands their own official merch section inside shirtmonsters.com. It's listed in our menu and comes up in our store search. You bring the designs and the audience. We share our audience, handle printing, shipping and customer service. You set your price and keep everything above the base.

How It Works

1. Apply or get invited. Partner Shops are for brands: shows, podcasts, channels, bands, haunted attractions, events and other businesses with their own name, logo and fan base. We review every application and pick who gets in.
2. Start with up to 10 designs. Send us your art, or tell us the vibe and our team creates the designs for you. Every design can go on every item we offer.
3. You approve everything. Nothing goes live until you sign off on the mockups.
4. Pick your prices. Choose your retail price for each item. Anything above our base is yours.
5. We add your section to our store. Your Partner Shop goes live as its own section of shirtmonsters.com. It's listed in our Partner Shops menu, and your products come up in our store search. You also get your own Shirt Monsters affiliate link.
6. Share your link. Send your audience to your shop.
7. We do the rest. Printing, shipping and customer service are on us. You get paid via PayPal.
8. Grow your line. As your shop sells, you earn the chance to add more designs.

Base Prices

Base prices cover sizes S–XL. Add $2 for each size above XL: 2XL is +$2, 3XL is +$4, and so on.

What You Could Earn

Customers pay shipping at checkout, so it never comes out of your commission.

Who Does What

Questions

Can anyone sign up?

No. Partner Shops are by invitation or application only. They're for brands: shows, podcasts, channels, bands, haunted attractions, events and other businesses with their own name, logo and fan base. We review every application and decide who gets in. If you're an individual creator who loves our stuff, our Affiliate & Ambassador program is the place for you.

How many designs can I have?

You start with up to 10 designs, and each one can go on every item we offer. As your shop sells, you get the chance to add more.

Does it cost anything to start?

No. There are no setup fees and no inventory to buy. Base prices only apply when an item sells.

I'm not an artist. Can I still be a partner?

Yes. Tell us your vibe, your logo, your catchphrases and your inside jokes, and we'll design it for you. You approve every design before it goes live.

How do I get paid?

We send your commissions by PayPal. Your commission is the difference between your retail price and the base price.

Do I earn on the rest of the store too?

Yes. Every partner also gets a Shirt Monsters affiliate link. You earn 10% on anything your audience buys through it, across the whole shop, on top of your commission on your own designs. Affiliate commissions are paid monthly via PayPal.

Who pays shipping?

The customer pays shipping at checkout, so it doesn't come out of your commission.

Can I buy my own merch?

Yes. You can order anything from your line at base price, plus shipping. Just let us know what you want and we'll send you an invoice. It's great for giveaways, events and wearing it on camera.

Why are bigger sizes more?

Bigger blanks cost more to make. The base goes up $2 for each size above XL, so your commission stays the same on every size if you price the same way.

Where will my shop live?

Inside shirtmonsters.com, as its own section of our store. It's listed in our Partner Shops menu, and your products show up in our store search, so you get our traffic as well as yours. There's no separate website for you to build or run.

Who handles returns and problems?

We do. Customer service is handled by the Shirt Monsters team, backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
