MRCH
Design on your phone, sell from your shop
Who each is for
You open a free creator store, post products, set a royalty, and Zazzle makes, ships, and supports each order. Buyers find you inside a marketplace with millions of customizable products.
One app on your phone. Design the shirt, check it on a real garment, price it against production cost, and publish a shop you share in your bio. Printing starts after someone buys.
The loop
Generate artwork or bring a file you own.
Check the print area before you publish.
Production cost and estimated profit sit next to your price.
One link. No warehouse, no leftover sizes.
Marketplace
Zazzle calls itself an online marketplace with millions of made-to-order customizable products (source). Being a creator is free, and Zazzle handles manufacturing, inventory, shipping, and customer service (source). If you want your designs in that catalog, it is a real path. Zazzle sits in the closed-marketplace group on our alternatives hub.
This page is not a takedown. The royalty rules below are quoted from Zazzle's help center as of November 2, 2026. Confirm current terms there.

Your shop
MRCH is an AI merch maker built for phone-first selling. Generate or upload on iPhone or Android (or the web at sellmerch.ai), preview on real garments, set your price, and see production cost and estimated profit before you publish a live store. The margin shown includes the MRCH platform cut. There is no Zazzle importer, so rebuild from art you own.
Walkthrough: sell merch from iPhone. The same loop is how you sell merch online from the app.

Before you publish
You want your designs inside a large made-to-order catalog and are fine with royalty-based pricing.
You want to make and sell shirts from your phone and send buyers to your own link.
Siblings: Redbubble, Spring, Merch by Amazon.
MRCH is an option built for that job. Design a shirt with AI or upload your art in the iOS or Android app, preview it on a real garment, set your price against production cost, and publish a live shop link. No inventory, no minimums. Start at https://sellmerch.ai.
Per Zazzle's help center, creators set a royalty from 5% to 50% on physical products, and Zazzle recommends 5% to 10%. A 5% excess royalty fee applies above 10%. A marketing royalty fee of 35% to 50% of gross royalties applies by department (35% for Clothing and Shoes). PayPal payouts start at $50. Confirm current terms on Zazzle's site.
Both are marketplaces that make and ship products for you. On Zazzle you set a royalty percentage. On Redbubble you set a markup on a base price, and your account tier sets platform fees. Read each company's help center for current numbers. If you want your own shop link instead of a marketplace listing, see the MRCH Redbubble and Zazzle alternative pages.
