These days, merch sales aren't just a nice idea, they are a HUGE deal – it's how fans show love and how bands keep the lights on. But let's be real, trying to run a merch shop out of your living room while also writing, recording and touring? That's a whole lot of headache nobody needs.

Meet BANGKITAN! When its members first came together in a sweaty practice room on a hot summer’s afternoon in 2022, they had no idea that they would emerge two hours later as Cambridge’s Best Boy Band. Perhaps more impressive than simply earning that title is the fact that BANGKITAN has sustained it in the years since the band’s inception.

Like any small band, BANGKITAN had a few challenges when it came to selling their merch online. Going with a traditional print company means lower per item cost but high upfront spending and you still have to set up and manage your store whilst finding somewhere to stash a few hundred t-shirts. Print-on-Demand services can lower that initial cost but can often have high per item pricing and complicated set-ups.

That's where MerchyCart came in.
