Creating Custom Merchandise for Your Music: A Complete Guide

Updated today

How Can I Access the Merchandising Tool?

Getting started is simple! You can access the merch creation tool in two ways:

Option 1: Direct Link
Use this direct link to jump straight into the tool and start creating.

Option 2: Pro Homepage
Navigate to your Pro homepage where you'll find a dedicated card with quick access to the merchandising tool.


Who Can Use the Merch Creation Tool?

Getting Started Our merchandising tool is open to everyone—feel free to explore, experiment, and bring your creative vision to life! However, to download or print your final designs, you'll need an active Pro Premium subscription. The good news? Any Pro Premium plan will work.

Important Rights Information While you can always download your creations for personal use, printing merchandise for sale requires you to have:

  • Publishing rights for any lyrics featured in your design

  • Printing rights for any artwork you use, including cover art or custom graphics

Make sure you own or have secured the proper rights before printing merchandise for commercial purposes.


How Does the Merch Creation Process Work?

Creating professional merchandise has never been easier—and you don't need to be a designer or tech expert to do it!

The Process at a Glance:

  1. Choose Your Template
    Browse through multiple professionally designed templates created by our in-house design team. Each template is crafted specifically to showcase lyrics in a visually compelling way.


  2. Select Your Song
    Pick the track you want to feature on your merchandise. If you don't find it in the list, just look for the title in the search bar.

  3. Follow the instructions
    Based on the template you selected, you will need to perform different actions: choose the lyrics, upload the logo, or generate an AI design.

  4. Customize Front and Back
    Personalize both sides of your t-shirt with various design options:

    • Lyrics only for a clean, minimalist look

    • Lyrics + cover art to showcase your album artwork

    • Upload custom artwork or logo to make it uniquely yours

    • AI-generated artwork that interprets your chosen lyrics snippet into original visual art

The Best Part? You can create stunning, professional-quality merchandise in just a few minutes—no design experience required. Our tool handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on connecting with your fans.


How Does AI Artwork Generation Work?

Our AI-powered design feature uses Ideogram technology paired with custom prompts developed by our professional designers. This means you get unique, high-quality artwork that's perfectly tailored to your lyrics.

How It Works: Simply select a lyrics snippet from your song, and our AI will interpret the emotion, imagery, and meaning to generate original artwork in various curated styles.

What Products Can I Create?

Current Options: The creation tool displays your design on a white t-shirt during the design process. Once you save your creation, you'll automatically see how it looks on a white t-shirt and a black t-shirt, and you will be able to create a hoodie with the same design.

Want More Options? We're constantly expanding our product catalog. If you'd like to see your design on other products (like tote bags, posters, or additional apparel), reach out to us:
