Spring (selling ended Sep 2026)
Was a creator marketplace you are leaving
vs
MRCH
A studio and live shop you rebuild on
Who each is for
You brought a finished file, put it on apparel, and shared a campaign or shop link. Discovery on their marketplace and social integrations did the rest, until selling ended on September 15, 2026.
You may have the files or you may have nothing but screenshots. Generate or upload, preview on the real blank, check the margin, and publish a live shop from your phone.
The move
Collect artwork, titles, descriptions, and prices from your own folders. Spring listing tools closed on September 15, 2026, so work from files you control.
Generate in the app or upload what you saved. Check scale, edges, and contrast on the real garment before it goes near a store.
Set a sale price and see production cost and margin before anyone can buy. Confirm live cost in the app, not in a screenshot of the old store.
Open the new shop while logged out, then replace Spring URLs in bios, link-in-bio tools, newsletters, and ads. Collect Spring payouts separately through October 15, 2026.
Spring products, variants, listing copy, and sales history do not transfer anywhere automatically. Before anything else, finish Spring business inside Spring: view payout balances and history, update payout details, and request eligible payouts in the limited Creator Dashboard before it closes on October 15, 2026.
Then rebuild the selling side from scratch: artwork on current blanks, rewritten listings, live prices, and a new shop URL. Our Spring store rebuild guide walks the full checklist, including custom domains and the link-in-bio sweep. For the feature-by-feature split, read MRCH vs Spring / Teespring.
MRCH is a merch store app with an AI merch maker inside it. You generate or upload artwork, preview it on real garments, set a sale price, see production cost and margin, and publish a live shop. There are no order minimums or deposits, and print-on-demand fulfillment starts after someone buys.
That covers the exact gap Spring left: no finished file is required to start, and the storefront is yours instead of a campaign on a closed marketplace. See how it works, learn how to sell merch online from the app, or start for zero without buying inventory.

The split
Your only remaining job is collecting money: use the limited Creator Dashboard for payouts and account actions through October 15, 2026. If you want the continuation Spring’s owner markets, with AI generation and campaigns, that path is Amaze Commerce. Neither option restores your old listings; both require a manual rebuild for anything you still want to sell.
You need a live shop now and you may need the art too. Generate or upload, check profit before publishing, and share one link to your own store. Musicians who also need covers and tour visuals should look at Backstage AI.
The honest split: Spring’s dashboard is where old money is collected, Amaze is the owner-marketed path forward, and MRCH is the phone-first rebuild for creators starting from an idea or a folder of saved files. MRCH has no Spring importer, and that is stated plainly because an importer is what every seller wishes existed.
Anywhere you rebuild it by hand. Spring stores stopped accepting new orders on September 15, 2026, and nothing transfers automatically: not products, not listings, not order history. Pick the replacement that fits how you sell, recreate your best designs on its blanks, publish a new shop, and point your public links at the new URL.
No. MRCH has no Spring importer, and Spring’s owner says setup on its own successor is self-serve too. Rebuild artwork, listings, prices, and shop information manually from files and notes you already control. Never send Spring passwords or payout credentials to anyone, including us.
A limited Creator Dashboard stays open for payouts and essential account actions through October 15, 2026, according to the official Amaze notice. After that date it closes and eligible creators use a separate payout website. Payout balances stay in Spring; they do not move into MRCH.
Three things. First, a store you can publish now, not a marketplace that closed. Second, a way to make or remake the art, since thumbnails lifted from a dead storefront print badly. Third, cost visibility before you go live, so the price you set actually leaves a margin. Check each candidate’s site for current fees rather than trusting roundups.
That is the case it is built for. MRCH is a phone-first AI merch studio with a live shop in the same app: generate artwork or upload files you saved, preview on real garments, see production cost next to your price, and publish. There are no order minimums or deposits, and printing starts after someone buys.
This page is the move: checklist, payout deadline, and what to rebuild. The full head-to-head of the two models lives on the comparison page. Read that next if you want the feature-by-feature split.
No. MRCH uses print-on-demand: nothing is printed until a customer orders, so there is no carton of leftover sizes and no minimum run. That part works the way Spring’s print-after-order model did.
