FAQ
Track 1 is a no-cost, Stack-managed merch store hosted on our internal platform. It’s designed for internal teams, organizations, and community brands that want simple access to merch without tech or vendor management.
Track 2 stores are built on Shopify or Etsy and are fully owned and managed by you. They’re designed for businesses looking to control the brand experience, pricing, and long-term revenue potential.
Track 1 is free to set up and manage, with no platform or maintenance fees. While product pricing is closer to retail than wholesale, it’s ideal for quick one-off orders, employee stores, bulk pricing needs, or event-specific fulfillment — especially when you want to avoid managing a vendor relationship or carrying inventory. Most users choose this option for ease, access, and brand visibility rather than profit generation.
Yes, you can choose to mark up the retail price to create margin. However, because base prices are retail-aligned, margins are typically slim. Fundraising is supported by application for mission-aligned campaigns where a margin-sharing model makes sense.
Custom store builds start at $2,500 and include:
- Store setup on Shopify or Etsy
- Up to 10 products
- Print-on-demand integration
- Basic product descriptions
- 1 month of post-launch support
Optional add-ons include email integration, training sessions, and additional product batches.
Yes. We offer flexible payment options.
Let us know what works best for your timeline and budget.
Track 1:
To keep maintenance and support free for our Track 1 stores, we require a minimum of $250 in monthly sales after the first 30 days.
As long as your store is generating at least $250 per month, we’ll continue to provide:
- Store updates (design refreshes, product swaps, limited-time collections)
- Customer support troubleshooting
- Basic reporting and dashboard access
- Seasonal promotional guidance
If your store brings in less than $250 for two consecutive months, we’ll reach out to discuss options.
At that point, you can:
- Relaunch with a new promotional plan
- Pause your store until you’re ready to re-engage
- Move to a paid maintenance plan
This helps us prioritize stores that are active and aligned with our limited-inventory model.
Track 2:
For Track 2, we will turn your store over to you once it is launched. You can maintain the store yourself or retain us for ongoing support.
We offer:
- Design support for custom artwork
- Access to licensed designs in our internal library
- Brand-aligned copy and product formatting for every store type
MOQ stores typically go live within 5–7 business days.
Custom stores are delivered within 2–3 weeks, depending on complexity. A rush option is available.
