How Broker POD Stores Work

No. You may have an idea, a group to outfit, an upcoming event, or a design in mind without every detail collected yet.

Tell us who the apparel is for, what you would like to create, and when you need it. We’ll help establish the products, colors, artwork, pricing, production-ready proof, and best ordering method for your group.

Helpful starting information includes:

• Who the apparel is for
• The purpose of the order or program
• Products or apparel styles being considered
• Artwork, logos, or design ideas
• Preferred colors
• Important dates or deadlines
• Whether one person or multiple people will be ordering
• Preferred pickup or shipping method

Yes. If you already know the products, quantities, sizes, payment, and delivery details, one person can place the complete order for the group.

Yes. My Shirt Shop can prepare a simple online ordering page that allows each purchaser to choose their own products, sizes, and quantities and pay when the order is placed.

Yes. We can help identify appropriate products, colors, and options based on your audience, intended use, budget, artwork, and ordering method.

Yes. We’ll review the artwork or design idea and prepare a production-ready proof for approval before ordering begins.

Yes. An ordering page can include multiple approved apparel styles, colors, and designs. Each product is prepared with the artwork and production information needed to produce it confidently.

It is a customer-facing page where approved apparel and artwork are made available for ordering. Think of it as your group’s own simple apparel store.

Purchasers use one shared link to select products, choose sizes and quantities, enter their information, and pay online.

No. My Shirt Shop prepares the approved products and artwork, configures the ordering page, receives the transactions, and carries each order into production, packing, and fulfillment.

Yes. Once the ordering page is approved and launched, you’ll receive a link that can be shared with the intended purchasers. Available access options depend on the program configuration.

Purchasers pay My Shirt Shop when their orders are placed. Any applicable fundraiser proceeds, coordinator earnings, or broker earnings are calculated using the pricing established before launch and reconciled according to the store model.

Yes. Simple online ordering provides another option; it does not eliminate traditional group ordering. One person may place a complete order when the sizes, quantities, payment, and delivery information are already organized.

That depends on the store configuration. Campaign orders are generally held for production after the ordering period closes. Managed-store orders are generally processed as they arrive.

In either case, the purchaser’s approved product, artwork, size, quantity, payment, and fulfillment information remain connected to the order.

Yes. Some ordering pages are designed for a limited campaign, while others remain available for ongoing purchases. A campaign may also transition into an always-available ordering option when the products, pricing, and fulfillment method support it.

A Campaign Store is a custom ordering page that remains open for a defined period. It works well for fundraisers, school programs, teams, clubs, events, seasonal orders, and limited apparel launches.

The opening and closing dates are established before launch based on the group’s deadline, promotion plan, production requirements, and fulfillment method.

Orders are collected during the campaign period. After the campaign closes, the sales information is reviewed, the apparel is ordered as needed, and the combined campaign is processed as a production batch.

Yes. Each purchaser places and pays for their own order through the campaign store.

Yes. Campaign orders can be packed by purchaser, even when the completed orders are delivered together for coordinator distribution.

Yes. Direct shipping can be configured when appropriate. The default campaign method is often purchaser-level packing with coordinator pickup or delivery, but fulfillment options are established before launch.

The coordinator cost and customer selling price are established before the campaign launches. We can provide suggested retail pricing, but the approved customer price determines the expected proceeds from each sale.

This allows the coordinator to understand the expected proceeds before promoting the campaign.

Campaign sales are reconciled after the ordering period closes. The applicable proceeds are paid according to the arrangement established before launch, often with or shortly after the completed campaign order.

Possibly. Product availability, pricing, production requirements, and fulfillment timing may need to be reconfirmed before reopening a completed campaign.

A Managed POD Store is an always-available apparel store where approved products can be ordered throughout the year.

It works well for companies, employee programs, schools, teams, membership organizations, established brands, and groups with ongoing demand.

No. Managed-store orders are processed as they arrive rather than waiting for a campaign closing date.

For a standard Managed POD Store, My Shirt Shop sources the approved apparel needed to produce each order.

Yes. The production model allows approved orders to be produced efficiently as they arrive, including individual orders.

Yes. Managed Store orders are generally packed and shipped directly to the purchaser using the fulfillment configuration established for the store.

Store activity is reconciled through internal reporting. Applicable earnings are generally reported and paid monthly according to the pricing and payout arrangement established before launch.

Yes. New products or designs can be requested and prepared for approval. Changes may require updated product availability, pricing, artwork, and production proofs.

This is an always-available store supported by blank apparel supplied and owned by the broker. My Shirt Shop decorates and fulfills customer orders using the approved inventory held for that program.

The broker supplies the prescribed blank apparel and sends it to My Shirt Shop for storage, decoration, and fulfillment.

The store’s available quantities are based on the approved blank apparel currently in stock. Customers—and the broker or coordinator—can see the available inventory through the customer-facing store.

Remaining inventory can be included in periodic reporting, and low-stock notifications may be provided when an approved size or product is nearing depletion.

No substitutions are expected. If the original blank becomes unavailable or difficult to source, the broker may request a new product listing and provide the newly prescribed inventory.

Yes. A new product can be evaluated, proofed, approved, and added after the broker supplies the prescribed blanks and the required product information.

The broker remains responsible for blank inventory that becomes dormant, obsolete, or no longer appropriate for the program.

Yes. The broker may arrange an approved inventory return by supplying the required return authorization and shipping label.

Monthly or periodic reporting can include store activity, applicable earnings, remaining inventory by product and size, and low-stock information.

Yes. Broker programs can be configured for blind or white-label fulfillment so the broker can maintain the customer relationship.

Each approved product is prepared with its apparel style, color, artwork, placement, sizing, pricing, and other production information. A proof is reviewed and approved before the product is made available for ordering.

Different garments, sizes, or designs may require different artwork sizing, placement, or production instructions. When a separate proof is needed for confident production, the item is prepared as a separate product.

Yes. Orders can be packed at the purchaser level so individual items remain connected to the person who ordered them.

Yes. Individually packed orders can be combined into one coordinated delivery or pickup for distribution by the organizer.

Yes. Direct-to-purchaser shipping is available when included in the store’s fulfillment configuration.

No. The ordering system is connected to our production and fulfillment process. My Shirt Shop carries approved orders through production, purchaser-level packing, configured pickup or shipping, reporting, and applicable payout.

You don’t have to decide before contacting us. Tell us who the apparel is for, how people will order, whether the program has a deadline, and how the completed orders should be delivered. We’ll help recommend the most appropriate setup.
