Questions shops ask
- Do I have to buy any stock?
- No. Nothing is printed until a customer pays, so there are no minimums, no leftover boxes and no guessing sizes.
- Can I offer free shipping?
- Yes. Turn on included shipping and we add the shipping rate to each item’s price, so checkout shows shipping as free. Otherwise customers pay it at checkout.
- Can I sell designs other than my logo?
- Yes. Put any artwork you own the rights to on any product. We review shops and remove anything that uses someone else’s trademark or copyright.
- What about returns for the wrong size?
- Your call: final sale, or returns within 14, 30 or 60 days. You approve each request, and approved refunds come out of that sale’s earnings. Misprints and damage are always on us.
- Can I change things after I open?
- Anytime: products, prices, artwork and design. Returns-policy changes apply to new orders only.
