Your store

Build it the way your band looks

On Starter you start from a template and make it yours. On Established there's no template at all: our team builds your whole store from scratch, just for you.

  • Four templates to start from: Release, Headliner, Liner notes and Festival
  • Any fonts and colours you like
  • Your logo, a header photo and a headline
  • Sections like your shows and latest release, on or off
  • See the whole store before you pay a penny
  • On Starter, you publish your own changes whenever you like

Pick a look

Four looks to start from

On Starter, pick one, then change the fonts and colours, add your logo and your photo, and it's yours.

The Release template: a light page led by the band's latest single

Release

Light and clean, like a label's artist page. Your latest release leads.

The Headliner template: a dark page with a full-width photo and listen and shop buttons

Headliner

Dark, with your photo edge to edge and two clear buttons: listen and shop.

The Liner notes template: the band's name set big above a photo, with a listen bar

Liner notes

Named after the notes in an album sleeve: your name set big above your photo, with a listen bar under it.

The Festival template: a bold block of colour, rounded type and show dates as big numbers

Festival

A bold block of your colour, rounded type and your dates as big numbers.

Shown with a sample band, photo, release and merch.

On Established

No template. A store built for you

On Established, our designers build you a completely custom store. Artwork your designs yourself, or we get them print ready. You approve it before anything goes live.

A store built from scratch

No template. Our team designs and builds a completely custom store around your band: your look, your colours, your way of doing things.

Your artwork, print ready

Artwork your designs yourself, or we get them print ready, so they look right on every product. The full range, not just the Starter six.

A team who know your name

Your store on your Spotify profile, someone to ring, and changes made within two working days of asking.

Merch

Add a product yourself

One at a time: choose a product, put your design on it, then add it to your store.

  • Pick a garment, then the colours you want it in. Every colour costs the same
  • Upload your design and drag it where you want it
  • Our print team checks a new design first, usually within a working day
  • A design we've already checked goes on sale as soon as you add it
  • Not finished? It waits in your drafts until you come back
  • On Established, artwork your designs yourself, or we get them print ready

Sales

Every sale, as it happens

Open any order to see the maths: the price, the VAT, our cut and what you earned.

  • Every order shows the moment it's placed
  • What each one earned you, line by line
  • When it clears and is yours to withdraw
  • The buyer's details, when they've agreed to share them
  • On Home, how many people visited your store this week and this month

Payouts

Getting paid

Your share is credited the moment a sale goes through. It clears 28 days later, once the refund window has closed.

  • Send what's cleared to your bank from Payouts
  • See what's still clearing, and when the next amount clears
  • Every payout listed, with the day it was paid
  • A statement every month of the fees we took, with their VAT
  • Or ask us to put some of your balance towards stock for the merch table

Straight answers

Things bands ask about the studio

Does the studio cost extra?

No. It comes with your store, on every plan. Building your store in it is free too: you only pay when you open it.

Can my bandmates log in too?

Yes. In Settings, under Logins, tell us their name and email. We check every request, then they get an email to choose a password and sign in. Settings shows everyone who can sign in, and we'll turn off anyone you don't recognise.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It's a website. Sign in at studio.merchycart.com on your laptop, or in your phone's browser.

What if I'm on Established?

Same studio, with your team in it. Store becomes Your site and Help becomes Your team. Tell us what to change and we'll do it within two working days, and new products are made with us.
