Two Plans: Self-Service vs Done-For-You
Self-Service VIP ($59 per month) gives the brewery full control over products, designs, and prices. Lower base costs save $4 to $11 per item compared to the Free plan.
Done-For-You VIP ($109 per month) handles everything: logo applied to 15 trending products each month, hundreds of mockups across colors, retail prices set based on what actually sells, full shop layout built. The brewery sends the logo. We send a live shop back. Best for brewery owners who would rather brew than build a merch program.
