FAQ

Is Spreadshop really free?

Spreadshop is and always will be free of charge. There are zero costs or fees for setting up and running your store.

How much money can I earn with Spreadshop?

Your earnings depend on the margin you set above each product's base price. You determine your profit by deciding how much to add to the base price when setting the sale price. The difference between these two prices is your margin. Check out our price calculator to find out more.

Which products can I sell and how many?

With Spreadshop, you can create custom merch with a selection of over 250 high-quality and sustainable products, ranging from classic T-shirts and hoodies to lifestyle items and accessories. Our print-on-demand service allows you to create unlimited products without worrying about warehousing, logistics, or upfront costs—we handle all of that for you.

What are the advantages of print on demand?

Print on demand means that products are only created when they are ordered, which is environmentally beneficial as it prevents overproduction. A major advantage for you is not having to manage warehousing, logistics, or shipping, as we'll handle all of that for you.

How can I join the YouTube Partner Program?
