/ 06 — Questions

Good to know.

Do I pay anything upfront?

No inventory to buy: we produce, store and ship. Your terms, including your share of each sale, are agreed before anything is made.

Do fans need an app?

No. A scan (QR) or a tap (NFC) opens the experience in the phone's browser, on iPhone and Android.

What do I need to provide?

Your logo and art, if you have them. If not, send references and we'll design from those.

How do I get paid?

You earn a share of net merch revenue on every sale. It's tracked live in the hub and paid out once an order clears the 30-day returns window.

Who owns the designs?

You keep your IP. We get a licence to produce and sell the products we make with you.

How long does it take?

From approved design to on sale, typically 4–6 weeks for t-shirts, 3–5 weeks for keychains and 2–4 weeks for stickers.

Can my manager or agency see it?

Yes. Agency partners can invite their creators and stay in the loop.

We're a studio or brand. Is this for us?

For game studios and IP holders, see the Activated Retail Program.
