How to Sell Merch Online with Merchiful
(updated January 16, 2022)
Merchiful is a Philippines-based online marketplace that enables individual artists to create and sell their own merch online. Known as "Creators", each artist gets their own online shop with their own customized merch to sell. Since we are a full service provider, handling everything from the printing of orders, payment collection, and shipping, all you need to focus on is bringing people to your online shop. The best part? The service is absolutely free, and you get at least 20% commission on each sale you make!
Although anybody can apply to become a creator, we are highly selective in approving applicants. You'll have a good chance of getting approved if you identify with any of the following:
I'm an experienced artist or graphic designer who loves making artwork.
- My artwork is unique and has its own sense of style.
- I'm active in social media, with active followers on my Facebook and/or Instagram pages.
If you identified with any of the above statements, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the world of Merchiful.

What commission do I earn from selling on Merchiful?
What are the base prices for each of the items?
You earn at least 20% of each sale you make on your Merchiful shop. To explain, every product has a base price. We provide a suggested selling price which is a markup of at least 20% over the base price. If you wish to sell your item higher than our suggested markup price, that extra amount will also be counted towards your commission.
Can you give me some examples of how commissions are calculated?
EXAMPLE 1:
T-shirt base price = P330
Our suggested selling price = P400
Your commission = P70
