More Than a Shirt Order

Selling shirts is easy.
Running merch is not.

Anyone can place a bulk shirt order. The work begins when someone has to guess sizes, collect money, store boxes, track buyers, distribute orders, and figure out what to do with the leftovers.

MerchWorks replaces that process with an ongoing, professionally managed merchandise program built around your organization.

Your organization promotes the store. 8gen runs it.

The Real Comparison

Bulk Shirts or a Merch Program?

Bulk printing can cost less per shirt when you already know exactly what you need. MerchWorks is built for organizations that do not want to buy the merchandise first.

Traditional Bulk Order

You Buy the Apparel Up Front.

  • Pay for inventory upfront
  • Guess sizes and quantities
  • Collect and reconcile payments
  • Sort and distribute every order
  • Keep whatever does not sell

Best when you need a known quantity for an event, staff, giveaway, or uniform order.

8gen MerchWorks

Customers Order What They Want.

  • No organization inventory purchase
  • Customers select their own size
  • Secure online ordering and payment
  • Full-color and multi-location options
  • Products made as orders arrive

Best for ongoing merchandise, organization visibility, fundraising, or a combination of all three.

The MerchWorks Process

Four Steps. No Boxes of Leftovers.

1

We Build Your Store

Your organization gets a branded online storefront built around its identity, colors, and approved artwork.

A dedicated 8gendesigns.com store address is included. Existing or custom domains can be connected for an additional fee.

2

Choose Your Merch

Select apparel, branded gear, designs, garment quality, colors, personalization, and available sizes.

3

Choose Your Earnings

Sell at the lowest available price for visibility or add a fixed amount your organization earns from each item.

4

We Handle the Rest

8gen manages checkout, production, customer orders, fulfillment, reporting, and organization balances.

Your Purpose. Your Price.

Advertising, Fundraising, or Both.

Every product has a protected MerchWorks Base Price. Your organization decides whether to keep the customer price low or add a fixed earning amount to each item.

That means a business can get more branded shirts into the community, while a school, team, or nonprofit can use the same system to raise money.

Use earnings your way. Receive scheduled payouts, roll the balance forward, or bank it as 8gen credit for staff shirts, event merchandise, giveaways, and future orders.
Example Basic Tee $18 Base Price
Maximum Visibility No organization earnings
$18 + $0 $18
Standard Fundraiser Organization earns $5
$18 + $5 $23
Higher Fundraiser Organization earns $10
$18 + $10 $28

Examples shown for explanation. Product base prices vary by garment, print locations, size, and personalization.

Flexible Fulfillment

Ship It or Pick It Up Free.

Each organization can offer direct shipping, free group pickup, or both.

Option One

Ship Directly to the Customer

The buyer enters a delivery address and pays shipping at checkout. 8gen produces, packages, and sends the completed order directly.

  • Convenient for remote buyers
  • Tracking available when applicable
  • No organization distribution work

Option Two

Free Pickup Through the Organization

8gen individually bags and labels each order, then delivers the completed batch to the organization’s designated representative for distribution.

  • No delivery charge for the buyer
  • Orders remain individually organized
  • Delivered on the store’s agreed schedule

Questions Before You Start

MerchWorks FAQ

Does our organization have to buy inventory?
No. MerchWorks products are produced as customers order them. Your organization does not have to predict quantities, purchase boxes of merchandise, or store unsold items.
Why can a bulk shirt sometimes cost less?
Bulk pricing is designed for customers purchasing a known quantity at one time, often with a simple print configuration. MerchWorks is priced for individual print-on-demand production and includes the managed storefront, payment processing, order handling, production, and fulfillment required to keep the store operating.
How does our organization earn money?
Every item has a MerchWorks Base Price. Your organization selects a fixed earning amount that is added to the item. The group may also choose zero earnings when the goal is affordable advertising or wider distribution.
Can earnings be used for our own merchandise?
Yes. Available earnings may be paid according to the agreed settlement schedule, rolled forward, converted into 8gen store credit, or divided between payout and credit.
Who handles customer payments and order questions?
8gen manages online checkout, payment processing, production-related order questions, shipping, product defects, and approved replacements. The organization only handles its internal pickup communication when free group pickup is offered.
Can our store offer more than T-shirts?
Yes. Available products may include multiple apparel tiers, hoodies, performance wear, polos, accessories, drinkware, cooling towels, and other branded merchandise that fits the organization.
Can our store use its own domain name?
Yes. Every MerchWorks store includes a dedicated address such as 8gendesigns.com/yourorganization. Organizations may also connect an existing domain or use a new custom domain for an additional setup and renewal fee.
