Getting started on Drip Merch takes just a few minutes. You register an account, which creates your shop, and then configure the essentials yourself from Settings.
Register your account
- Go to the registration page and enter your name, your shop name, your email, and a password. The shop name is required — registration is rejected without it.
- Submit the form to create your account and your shop.
- Drip Merch sends a verification email. Note: confirming it is not required in order to sign in — you can log in straight away, and an unverified address does not block access.
- Log in with your new credentials.
If you were invited to an existing shop by a teammate, use the invitation link in your email instead — it connects you directly to that shop.
Set Up Your Shop
There is no onboarding wizard. After logging in you land straight on your dashboard with an empty shop, and you configure it from Settings in the order below.
- General — your shop name, description, contact email, phone and address. This information appears on quotes and invoices.
- Look & Feel — your primary and accent colors for the dashboard.
- Designer — upload your shop logo and set what customers can do in the design tool.
- Decoration Methods — add the techniques you offer from the six built-ins, or create custom ones, then set their pricing.
- Billing — choose a plan when your trial is coming to an end.
Your shop is created with nine order statuses already in place, and default document templates are seeded the first time you open Settings → Documents.
What to Do Next
- Fine-tune your decoration methods and pricing in Settings.
- Add products, either from a connected catalog or as custom products.
- Open your first storefront.
Everything here can be changed later, so nothing you enter is permanent.
