Everything worth asking before you claim something permanent. For the short version, read how claiming works.
Claiming a 1-of-1 design assigns its commercial copyright to you and opens your storefront at /yourhandle. Turn on tee sales for it and shoppers can buy it printed on demand, so you launch a merch brand with no inventory. You earn a share of every tee.
Standard print-on-demand platforms keep you as a generic reseller. With Shirt Bazaar, you own 100% exclusive commercial rights to the underlying 1-of-1 design, receive a turnkey automated storefront, and earn continuous profits without inventory or manufacturing hassle.
Yes. Claiming a design assigns full commercial reproduction and merchandising rights to you. You can sell through your automated Bazaar storefront, license the artwork, or produce physical runs with no platform royalty clawbacks.
Under 60 seconds. As soon as your order completes, your custom storefront is live, pre-populated with your design, and ready to process customer orders with automated fulfillment.
It is a claim: full commercial ownership of one design plus a hosted storefront. Printed tees are sold separately, made to order when a shopper buys one, so there is no inventory to hold.
A design can be claimed exactly once. After that it belongs to one person — no reprints, no second edition, no identical shirt on anyone else.
Anyone. Generated designs land in the bazaar unclaimed, including the ones you made — so if you want one, claim it. That's also why there's always something here to take.
Exclusive ownership of the design, forever, plus a storefront of your own at /yourhandle to show it off. No ongoing fees, no royalty owed to anyone after you've paid the claim price.
No. A claim is permanent and a design gets exactly one, forever. That permanence is the whole product — an unwindable claim would make every other claim worth less.
They stay in the bazaar, unclaimed and claimable, until somebody takes them. Nothing expires and nothing is withdrawn.
7 free a week per account, at the one-credit settings: Low at any size, or Medium at 1K or 2K. One generation, one design — if it isn't what you wanted, generating again costs one of the 7. Bigger or sharper renders cost more, because they cost us more: Medium 4K and High 1K are 2 credits, High 2K is 3, High 4K is 4, and X-High runs from 4 up to 12. The studio prices your settings on the Generate button before you press it. Credits come with a plan — see Money below.
No. Every design is drawn straight onto a transparent canvas, so what you get is the artwork and nothing behind it. That is what direct-to-garment printing needs: a background would print as a rectangle of ink on every shirt that isn't the same colour as it. There is nothing to cut off afterwards.
No. A design you generate is private until you list it. Listing is what puts it in the bazaar and sets its price; until then only you can see it.
You are its maker and stay credited as such. Ownership transfers on claim — and you can claim your own design like anybody else.
Because the styles genuinely differ. Picture styles draw a subject and ban letterforms outright; word styles make your exact text the artwork; poster styles want a title and a line. The form only asks for what the style can actually use.
Print on demand: nothing exists until you order it, then our print partner prints it in up to 10 days and ships it within the US, shipping included. That's also why orders can't be cancelled once printing starts.
Email support within 14 days of delivery with photos and we'll arrange a reprint or refund at no cost to you. Damage, defects, wrong design and print errors are all covered.
No. Every shirt is made specifically for you after you order, so returns for preference (size, placement, second thoughts about the design) aren't eligible once printing has begun.
It pays the maker, not the claimant. If you generate a design and someone else claims it, you earn 80% of the claim price automatically — paid once, the moment it's claimed. Claiming your own design doesn't owe anyone else anything.
Payouts aren't live yet. Royalties are published and tracked against every claim, and the payout path is the next thing being built — we'd rather say that plainly than quote you a date.
Credits are the meter. One credit is one render at the cheapest settings; bigger and sharper renders cost more, because they cost us more. Everyone gets a free weekly quota. Past that, credits come with a plan — Creator Pro includes 200 a month, Brand Studio 500. They're priced close to what generation actually costs us to run, not as a markup: the platform makes its money on the split when something sells, not on the meter.
A claim locks the design to one owner in the database. No second claim, second edition or duplicate can be made, and we never regenerate it. Someone could still prompt a similar picture elsewhere, because a claim covers this exact artwork, not an idea, a subject or a style.
Yes. The assignment lets you sell merchandise through your storefront or any other channel, license the design, or sell the rights outright to someone else. We claw nothing back. Beyond the claim price, no ongoing royalty is owed to us or to the maker.
Yes. You may manufacture apparel, prints or media carrying the design with any printer you choose. One limit in the Terms: exporting print-ready files to bypass our fulfilment while keeping a marketplace listing here is a material breach. Production elsewhere is yours to run.
The person who claims it. A claim assigns them all right, title and commercial interest in the artwork, including applicable copyright. Whether AI output can be copyrighted is unsettled and varies by country, and the U.S. Copyright Office currently requires human authorship to register. We assign everything we hold.
No. The rights pass to the claimant in full, so the maker has no claim on the artwork afterward. They stay credited as its maker, and a one-time royalty on the claim price is recorded to their account, though royalty payouts are not available yet. An unclaimed design stays in the bazaar, and its rights move only when someone claims it.
