Yoga Studio Merch Shop, Built Inventory-Free

A yoga studio merch shop should not feel like another part-time job for the front-desk team. The Bear Grips Pro Shops model gives the studio a fully branded online store where students order tees, tanks, hoodies, and leggings on their own, the items are printed and shipped to their homes, and the studio collects margin automatically. No bin of unsold smalls in the storage closet. No bulk pre-order. No packaging table at the front desk.

What a Yoga Studio Merch Shop Actually Is

A studio merch shop is a branded URL (something like shops.beargrips.com/your-studio) where students see the studio logo, the studio's product range, and student-friendly checkout. When a student orders a tank or a hoodie, we print the item with the studio's logo, pack it, and ship it free to the student. The studio earns a margin on every order with zero upfront cost and zero inventory commitment.

Most studios run between 5 and 20 products in the shop. A typical mix: a studio tee, a studio tank, a studio hoodie, a pair of leggings, a sports bra, and a few seasonal pieces.

Step 1: Sign Up and Brand the Shop

The studio owner signs up free, uploads the studio logo (or two variations: a full-color mark for light shirts and a single-color mark for dark shirts), and picks the shop URL. The free plan supports 3 live products. The Self-Service VIP plan ($59/month) supports 200 products and drops every base price by $4 to $11.

Step 2: Pick the Core Product Mix

For a yoga studio, the proven mix is:

• Studio tee. Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee ($19.88 VIP base) or Bella+Canvas Premium Triblend Crew Tee ($23.88 VIP).
• Studio tank. Bella+Canvas Performance Workout Tank ($19.88 VIP) or Women's Mid Length Racer Tank ($29.88 VIP).
• Studio hoodie. Women's Premium Cropped Hoodie ($47.88 VIP) or Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88 VIP).
• Studio leggings. Bear Grips Signature Seamless Leggings ($54.88 VIP) or High-Waist Pocket Leggings ($54.88 VIP).
• Sports bra. Bear Grips Padded Sports Bra ($45.88 VIP).

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.

Step 3: Set Retail Prices With Studio Margin

Each product has a base price (what we charge). Retail is up to the studio. The difference is the studio's margin per unit. Typical yoga studio pricing:

• Studio tee: retail $30 to $34 (margin $10 to $14).
• Studio tank: retail $32 to $36 (margin $12 to $16).
• Studio hoodie: retail $60 to $68 (margin $12 to $20).
• Studio leggings: retail $72 to $82 (margin $17 to $27).
• Sports bra: retail $58 to $64 (margin $12 to $18).

Step 4: Share the Shop With Students

Studio URL goes:

• In the Instagram bio.
• In the email confirmation after class signup.
• On a QR code on the studio bulletin board.
• In the studio app (or whatever booking platform the studio uses).
• Linked at the bottom of the monthly studio newsletter.

Students browse, buy, and the studio collects margin in the dashboard.

Done-For-You Option for Busy Studio Owners

Studio owners who do not want to handle the setup themselves use the Done-For-You VIP plan ($109/month). The studio owner sends the logo and one design per month. We build the full shop layout, apply the logo to 15 trending products, create front and back mockups on every color variant, write product page copy, and set optimal retail prices. The studio owner shares the link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the studio need to buy anything upfront?

No. The Free plan costs $0/month. The Self-Service VIP plan is $59/month with a monthly cancel window. Students pay retail at checkout when they order. The studio earns margin only on actual orders.

What happens at the front desk?

Nothing. The shop lives online. Students order from their phone or laptop. The item ships to their home. The studio team never packs an order or handles inventory.

Can we sell physical-property items like mat bags or blocks?

We focus on apparel. We do not currently print or fulfill yoga props or mats. The shop is built around the 63-product apparel catalog.

How does the studio get paid the margin?

The dashboard tracks the margin earned per order in real time. Payouts run on a regular schedule. The studio sees exactly which student bought what and what the margin per order was.
