A junior tennis team store on Bear Grips Pro Shops launches free in under an hour from sign-up to live URL. The free tier covers three live products, your branded shop, and the affiliate program. Players, parents, and coaches order direct, shirts ship in about a week, and the academy keeps the markup. No inventory, no minimums, no upfront cost. This guide walks through the setup step by step.
Create a free Pro Shops account. Three live products and branded URL included. Good for testing the model with a small program (one team, single age division).
Active academies with multiple teams or full apparel programs upgrade to the $59/month VIP plan, which unlocks 200 products and the lowest prices. The plan pays for itself with 6-10 sales per month.
