MRCH is a free-to-install AI merch design app with a live print-on-demand store for general creators. Available on iOS, Android, and the web.

Are they the same product?

No. Two apps, one company (Backstage AI LLC) and a shared account system. MRCH is for general creators; Backstage AI is for musicians.

Do sellers hold inventory?

No. Print-on-demand production and shipping start after each paid order. There is no inventory deposit and no order minimum. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/start-for-zero and https://www.sellmerch.ai/no-minimums.

Do sellers pay an inventory deposit?

No. A listing can exist before a garment is made. Starting for $0 is not free printing — each order has a production cost. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/start-for-zero.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. Quantity one is a real order. One size, one color, one checkout is enough to print. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/no-minimums.

Can sellers see profit before launch?

Yes — estimated profit. Sale price, production cost, and margin are visible before publishing. Profit is not the full sale price. The calculator at https://www.sellmerch.ai/merch-profit is illustrative; live margin in the app includes the platform cut. It is not a forecast.

Can I sell custom hoodies without a size run?

Yes. Design on a real pullover, see production cost, and sell print-on-demand including a single size. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/custom-hoodies.

Is MRCH a general AI image tool like Krea?

No. Krea-class tools generate and iterate images. MRCH is AI product design for merch you can sell: art on a real garment, a price with cost attached, and a live print-on-demand store. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/ai-product-design.

Can sellers pick a print provider in MRCH?

No. Production is handled in-app after each paid order. MRCH is not a Printify-style printer marketplace. See https://www.sellmerch.ai/print-quality and https://www.sellmerch.ai/compare/printify.

Yes. MRCH and Backstage AI are free to install. AI generation uses credits. Native purchases go through the App Store or Google Play; web billing uses Stripe.

What is MRCH’s App Store rating?

4.9 out of 5 from 14 ratings on the US App Store listing (can change).

HowTo

How to design and sell merch with MRCH

Print-on-demand. No inventory deposit. Quantity one. Estimated profit before you publish — confirm live margin in the app, not the illustrative calculator. Same five steps as /how-it-works. Also /start-for-zero, /no-minimums, and /merch-profit.

01
Pick a garment
Start with a t-shirt, hoodie, hat, sticker, tote, poster, or more. Preview the art on a real product, not a blank canvas.
02
Generate or upload artwork
Describe what you want. MRCH generates merch artwork you can place, tweak, or replace — or bring your own file.
03
Place the design
Put the artwork on the garment print area and check how it looks on a real mockup.
04
Set the price
Choose a sale price and see production cost and estimated profit before anything goes live. No deposits, no order minimums.
05
Publish a live store
Share your shop. Each paid order is printed and shipped after it sells — zero inventory. Seller payouts use PayPal.
