Merch Operations
One of the highest-margin revenue streams most artists leave on the table. Let's fix that.
Merch Is a Revenue
Stream. Treat It Like One.
Most artists approach merch as an afterthought — a box of shirts in a duffel bag, a Venmo QR code taped to the table, zero idea what sold at the end of the night. The result is lost revenue, no data, and a chaotic operation that reflects poorly on everything around it.
StageHaus merch operations is a complete system — design direction, inventory management, point-of-sale setup, online store integration, and end-of-show reporting. Square, Shopify, and Stripe working together so your merch revenue is tracked, reported, and growing.

Getting Your Merch Operation Running
Audit
We look at what you currently have — existing inventory, any online store, what's sold before, what hasn't. Starting from a clear picture instead of assumptions.
Design Direction
Working with you on what to make and how it should look — items that represent your brand and actually move at a merch table or online.
System Setup
Square for in-person sales, Shopify or a custom store for online, Stripe for payments. All connected, all tracked, all reporting to the same place.
Show Day Operations
Merch table setup, inventory count before and after, end-of-night reporting. You know exactly what sold, at what price, and what came home with you.
Ongoing Reporting
Monthly revenue reports, reorder alerts, bestseller tracking. Merch becomes a managed revenue stream — not a box you drag to every show and forget about.
Merch FAQs
Do you handle printing and production?
We coordinate with print-on-demand partners (Printful, Printify) or direct printers depending on volume and timeline. We manage the vendor relationship, quality control, and delivery — you don't have to deal with it directly.
Can you run my merch table at shows you're not already working?
Yes — merch operations is available as a standalone per-show service. Send us the show details and we'll scope out what merch table coverage looks like for that date.
What if I already have a Shopify store?
We work within what you already have. If you have an existing store, we audit it, fix what isn't working, and integrate it with your in-person sales system so everything reports together.
How do you charge for merch operations?
Setup is a flat project fee. Ongoing merch management and show-day operations are priced per show or as a monthly retainer depending on tour volume. We scope it clearly before anything starts.
