Amazon Merch on Demand
Print your own designs and earn more while connecting with your followers
Design your own Amazon Merch on Demand collection and let us handle the rest.
Amazon Merch on Demand is our print on-demand business. We print t-shirts, hoodies, pop sockets, totes, phone cases, and more, all shipped with Prime delivery and at your door within three days of ordering.
There is zero inventory, which means we can bring countless designs to life and never run out — we can produce as much as you are able to sell. This is a great way to build your own brand, connect with your followers in a new way and establish a new Amazon revenue stream.
In just one month, you will receive your first royalty payment. Our royalty payment structure can be found here. For example, a $19.99 t-shirt will provide you $5.23 royalty for each unit sold, in addition to your associate commissions.

Get inspired by Dress Up Buttercup
Dress Up Buttercup is one of our most successful influencers to launch to date. She has done two collections with Merch by Amazon. Here’s how it all happened.
Dede launched her “Grown Up” collection, a series of shirts and sweatshirts with a cheeky play on never growing up. She donated a portion of her sales to the Kids In Need Foundation, a non-profit that provides school supplies to teachers and students in need.
First, she created four designs and posted them to poll her audience to determine the fan favorite. She turned the top design live and drove incredible sales through her stories and in-feed posts.
She communicated with her Amazon Merch contact, and we were able to re-post on @AmazonFashion to drive additional traffic. She posted again a week later to show how she tie-dyed her design and made it even more special.

How can I tell if an item is “Merch on Demand”?
All items that are printed on demand through Amazon will be labeled as “Amazon Merch on Demand” under the price. You can also shop in our Graphic Tee Shop.
Where can I get ideas for what to post?
The holidays and viral moments are the most successful for Merch on Demand.
If I design my own collection, how will I know what I sold and when do I get paid?
Designing (and promoting!) your own collection is the best way to maximize your earnings. You will be able to see your sales by item in real time on your Merch by Amazon dashboard, which is a great way to test, learn, and react to what sells.

What are some best practices Merch recommends to be successful?
1. Upload new collections often: Customers love newness. Test and learn what works for your follower base and continue to supply them with new designs. Options are endless and there is no inventory risk!
2. Self promotion: You are your own brand ambassador. Post often and engage fans in your design process. The more you market yourself, the higher the sales, because you are the face of your brand.
3. Lean into the holidays, viral moments, and pop culture: Our items ship Prime and arrive within days. Merch tends to be the go-to source for those looking to outfit for upcoming events. Think about upcoming holiday looks, items trending, fun seasonal sayings, etc., to stay on the pulse of impulse-buying needs.
