When the VIP Plan Pays for Itself in Church Shirt Savings
The VIP plan at $59/month pays for itself when the total savings across all orders in a month exceed $59:
- At $4.05 savings per cotton tee: The plan pays off after 15 tees ordered in a month. A church homecoming, anniversary shirt, or VBS program with 15+ tees covers the monthly plan cost.
- At $8.06 savings per hoodie: The plan pays off after 8 hoodies ordered in a month. A youth retreat with 8+ hoodie orders covers the plan cost.
- Annual volume math: A church that orders 5 events per year with an average of 30 items per event = 150 items/year. At an average $5 savings per item: $750 annual savings minus $708 VIP plan cost = $42 net savings. Higher order volumes show proportionally greater net benefit.
- Year-round shop sales: For churches with a live shop where members order throughout the year, even a modest 3 items/month saves $15/month on tees and $24/month on hoodies, partially or fully covering the plan cost without any single event driving volume.
Free Plan vs. VIP Plan: Which Is Right for Your Church
Decision guide based on church ordering patterns:
- Choose the free plan if: Your church orders apparel for 1-2 events per year with low total quantities (under 50 items/year). The free plan has no monthly cost and no minimum. The higher base price is acceptable for occasional, low-volume ordering.
- Choose the VIP plan if: Your church runs an active ongoing apparel shop, orders for multiple ministry groups and events throughout the year, or has a single annual event large enough to cover the plan cost (typically 15+ items in one order).
- Upgrade timing: Start on the free plan with no commitment. Upgrade to VIP when a large event is approaching (homecoming, anniversary, VBS) and the savings on that single event exceed the monthly plan cost. Cancel after the event if your annual volume does not sustain the plan economically.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is the VIP plan a one-time fee or monthly?
The VIP plan is $59/month. It is a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Does the VIP plan require a minimum order to use the lower prices?
No. VIP plan pricing applies to all orders regardless of quantity. A single shirt at VIP base price is available on a VIP plan the same as a 200-shirt order.
Can we cancel the VIP plan after a large event order?
Yes. The VIP plan can be cancelled at any time. Churches that have a large annual ordering event often subscribe in the month of the event, use the lower VIP pricing for that order, and then evaluate whether continued subscription is warranted.
