Yes! Our Design Maker, including its entire library of fonts, clipart, and design tools, is 100% free. You only pay for the product and its fulfilment after a customer orders.

Yes, it's legal, but you must respect intellectual property laws. You can sell merchandise featuring your own original designs, logos, and phrases. You can’t use copyrighted or trademarked material without a proper licence.

If you're selling merch to make a profit, you'll likely need to register with HMRC. You can start as a sole trader, which is the simplest structure. You’re also responsible for handling your own taxes, including Value Added Tax (VAT) once you reach the VAT threshold. We always recommend getting advice from an accountant.
