Pricing & access
No cost to run a pre-order, and no cost to your supporters.
Free for everyone
Organizers and supporters pay nothing. No platform fees, no hidden charges, and no percentage taken out of what you collect.
No contracts or minimums
Spin up a page for a one-off fundraiser or run one every season. There's nothing to cancel and nothing to negotiate.
Payments
Collect money the way your group already pays each other.
Flexible payment collection
Accept Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, cash, check, or credit and debit cards through your own Stripe account — choose any combination per page.
Money never touches Merch Run
Every payment settles in your own payment channel or your own Stripe account. We record what's owed and what's paid; we never hold your funds.
Manual payment tracking
Mark supporters as paid for cash, check, or peer-to-peer transfers, and keep private payment notes next to each sign-up.
Shipping, taxes, and fees
Add a fixed or per-item shipping and handling charge plus a flat or percentage-based tax and fee line so your totals match reality.
Your pre-order page
A shareable page that looks like it belongs to your group.
Product image carousel
Show up to eight product photos in a responsive carousel with size and ratio hints so uploads look sharp on every screen.
Custom look and feel
Pick a preset theme or dial in your own colors with a picker and hex override, then customize the submit button wording.
Sizes, colors, and custom questions
Offer the full size range from infant and toddler through 4XL, choose which fields are required, and add up to eight custom questions.
Goal meters with milestones
Track items, dollars, or supporters against your own goal wording, and set up to five tiered milestones that advance automatically.
Refund policy in writing
Publish your own refund and cancellation terms on the page so supporters know the rules before they commit.
Managing a run
Everything you need between launch day and the print order.
Live progress and health checks
See performance against your goal and printer minimum at a glance, with a readiness checklist that links straight to whatever still needs attention.
Printer-ready exports
Export orders any time as CSV, including a size-by-color breakdown you can hand directly to your printer.
Private printer status link
Generate a secret link for your print shop with the design photos, deadline, announcements, and live size counts — all sign-ups and payment-confirmed only. No supporter names or payment details are ever shown, and you can revoke it any time.
Referral tracking
Give every helper their own share link and see the clicks, sign-ups, and dollars each one drove.
One-click duplicate
Duplicate any page's settings for the next season or the next design without copying over old orders.
Public or unlisted pages
List your run in the public directory to attract new supporters, or keep it unlisted so only people with the link can find it.
Groups & collaboration
Built for clubs, schools, nonprofits, PTAs, and church groups.
Group and organization controls
Bundle multiple pre-order pages under one group to see how every page — and every organizer — is performing side by side.
Stack-ranked group analytics
Leaderboards and momentum charts show which runs are pulling ahead and which need a nudge.
Role-based access
Add co-hosts, group managers, or analytics-only viewers. Co-hosts can edit the page but can't change pricing, payment methods, shipping, taxes, or fees.
Communication
Keep supporters informed without a group text thread.
Announcements timeline
Post timestamped updates that log publicly on your pre-order page so anyone can check the latest status.
Email the people affected
Shipping, delivery, schedule, and payment updates can go out as a transactional email to all supporters, or just the paid or unpaid ones.
Order receipts and sign-up history
Supporters get an email receipt spelling out exactly where to send payment, and can revisit their own sign-ups any time.
