To join the platform, you must submit an application through the Merch portal and wait for an invitation, as the program is not open-access. You will need to provide business contact information, bank details for royalty deposits, and tax information such as a W-9. While a portfolio is technically optional, providing a link to a design portfolio or social media page featuring your art is highly recommended to prove you are a serious creator and not a spammer.
The tier system is a quality-control mechanism that limits how many designs a seller can have live at one time. New sellers typically start at Tier 10, meaning they are limited to ten active designs. To "level up" to higher tiers, such as Tier 25 or Tier 100, you must reach specific sales targets and maintain good account standing. This system encourages sellers to focus on quality and market research rather than flooding the platform with low-performing designs.
Technically, designs should be high-contrast, transparent PNG files, typically 4500 by 5400 pixels at 300 DPI. Legally, Amazon has a zero-tolerance policy for intellectual property (IP) infringement; you cannot use trademarked phrases, copyrighted characters, or celebrity likenesses. Even "parody" is considered a high-risk area for beginners, so the safest strategy is to create 100% original artwork and phrases to avoid account suspension.
Sellers earn a royalty on every sale, which is the list price minus Amazon's costs for the blank product, printing, fulfillment, and customer service. For a standard $19.99 t-shirt, the royalty is usually around five dollars. Sellers have the freedom to set their own prices, allowing for strategies like "tiered pricing," where a price is initially set low to gain sales momentum and search rankings before being increased once the product has established visibility.
Amazon's algorithm relies on the text in your title, bullet points, and descriptions to "see" and rank your art. Effective SEO involves using descriptive keywords that reflect what a human would type into a search bar, such as the "who, what, and when" of the design. However, you must avoid mentioning physical product attributes like "soft fabric" or "fast shipping," as Amazon handles the logistics; your descriptions must focus solely on the creative intent and vibe of the design itself.
