Do I need money to start selling merch on MRCH?
You do not buy inventory first. The apps are free to install. AI generation uses credits. Printing starts after a customer pays.
The setup
Three moves. Zero inventory.
Grab a blank
Tee, hoodie, hat, tote, sticker, poster. You are designing on the real product, not a detached artboard.
Drop the art
Prompt it, upload it, or steal from your own archive. Crop, erase, knock the background out, then place it.
Go live
See production cost, pick a sale price, publish the shop. We print after checkout — not before.
Cash, not cartons
You do not prepay a warehouse to find out if the joke lands.
- 01
Nothing due up front
The listing can exist before a dollar of product is made. Credits pay for generation. Blanks wait.
- 02
One is a real order
A single size, a single color, a single fan. No dozen-minimum to unlock the printer.
- 03
Price with the cost in view
You see production against the number you charge. Margin is not a surprise at payout.
- 04
Paid after it ships
Connect PayPal. Orders print, ship, and settle. You never sat on a box of XL.

Illustrative production: $9.68
Pick a blank, set a price, and drag daily sales. Production cost is illustrative — the live number, including the platform cut, shows in the app before you publish. This is not a forecast and not a promise.

Illustrative cost $9.68. Live production and margin are in the app before you go live.
What you skip
The boring stack other apps still make you assemble.
No leftover stock
Print-on-demand starts after the sale. Closet merch is optional — samples, not a size run.
No second storefront
MRCH publishes its own live shop. You are not wiring Shopify to a catalog to make one tee.
No packing tape
Production and shipping run after checkout. You share the link. We handle the box.
FAQ
Is production actually free?
No. Each order has a production cost. You see it before you publish. Starting for $0 means you are not pre-buying blanks — not that shirts print for nothing.
Can I sell one piece?
Yes. There is no minimum order. One size, one color, one checkout is a real order.
Where do I start?
Download MRCH on the App Store or Google Play, or open the web app at sellmerch.ai. Musicians who need covers and tour visuals should use Backstage AI (iOS and Android only — no web editor).
Open the free app and list the first piece.
iPhone, Android, or browser. Design it, price it, publish — no inventory to fund first.
