Podcasters

Merch your listeners can buy from the show notes.

Last updated:

Brikl runs on-demand merch stores for podcasters. Listeners order tees, hoodies and mugs from a link in your show notes, each item is made per order and shipped to them, and you set your own margin. You don't buy stock, guess sizes or pack orders between episodes.

What your store looks like

A branded storefront on your own web address, live in ten seconds with Turbo Store. Your logo, your colors, your products — and every order produced on demand and shipped to the buyer.

Sound familiar?

Listeners keep asking for a shirt.

You'd love to sell one, but you don't know how many to order or in which sizes.

The inside joke has a short life.

By the time a bulk order arrives, the show has moved on.

Recording leaves no time for packing.

Every hour spent at the post office is an hour not spent on the next episode.

Your income depends on ad reads.

Merch could add another source, but not if it means tying up cash in boxes.

What you sell

Picks from Brikl’s marketplace of 8,000+ decorated products — all produced on demand.

How they order

Listeners follow the link from your show notes or newsletter, pick a design and a size, and check out. Each item is made for that order and shipped to them, so you never touch a box.

Setting it up

  1. Add your show art.

    Upload your logo or cover art once. Brikl prepares it for decoration across the products you choose.

  2. Pick your first products.

    Start with a tee, a hoodie and a mug. Nothing is made until a listener orders, so adding a product costs nothing.

  3. Set your prices.

    Choose what each item sells for, and keep the margin you build in.

  4. Say it on the show.

    Put the link in your show notes, newsletter and social bios, then mention it in the next episode.

When people order

  1. Launch episode.

    Announce the store on air. Listeners buy while they're still hearing about it.

  2. Inside jokes.

    Turn a running bit into a design this week, and take it down when the joke has run its course.

  3. Milestones.

    Mark an anniversary or a 100th episode with a limited design, with no minimum to reach.

  4. The holidays.

    Tell listeners to order early. With 7-10 business days to door, an order-by date helps gifts arrive on time.

What you earn on a hoodie

You keep your margin on each hoodie and carry no stock when a design runs its course. The rest of the price covers the product, its decoration and delivery to the listener.

3.5% per transaction. Nothing else.

No platform setup fee, no subscription, no inventory. You only pay when you make a sale.

Frequently asked questions

How do podcasters sell merch without inventory?
On Brikl, you list your merch in a free store, and each item is made when a listener orders it and shipped directly to them. There's nothing to buy up front and nothing to pack.
How many listeners do I need?
There's no minimum. Every item is made per order, so a store can work for a small show with a loyal audience.
How much do I make?
You set the selling price, so you decide the margin. Brikl takes 3.5% of the selling price including shipping and excluding tax, and Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 on the checkout total.
Can I sell a design for just a few weeks?
Yes. Run a pop-up store that closes on its own, or take a design down whenever you like.
Can I run a store for each show?
Yes. Stores are unlimited and free to open, so a network can run one per show under one account.
Can I use a guest's name or a sponsor's logo?
Only with their permission. Your own show name and art are yours to use, but other people's names and marks need their approval.
How long do orders take?
Plan on 7-10 business days from order to door. Give listeners an order-by date when timing matters.
What if a listener orders the wrong size?
Items are made to order, so they can't be returned for size, color or a change of mind. Damaged or defective items are replaced if reported within 15 days with a photo.
