Today we have launched a new look for Spreadshirt.com and we wanted to give you an update about some of these exciting changes.
Products Instead of Designs
Instead of designs, we are now showing off products in the marketplace. Items are organized by gender and type - men, women, babies & kids and accessories.
Search & Filter
The search and filter function is the perfect match for the departments: just look for a topic, design or product. The search function includes a filter on the results page as well as a filter for misspellings.
Simplified Commission Model
After careful consideration we’ve decided to drop the product commission - for two reasons: first, it would confuse customers and cause “jumping prices” (if you buy a “premade” product in the MP it would have a different price then if you would have personalized the same product in the designer). Also, we saw that the product commission wasn’t heavily used anyway. That’s why we decided to simplify the commission structure: as a designer, you make your cut by just adjusting the design commission.
New Homepage
Included in the makeover is a new look for our homepage. It’s more dynamic and makes it easier for us to show what Spreadshirt is about: customized apparel.
What did we keep?
- The Designer - The look and feel of the designer is the same. Customers can still choose their design and apparel directly from the designer.
- The old marketplace a.k.a. “Design Network” - It’s there as well - but we have moved it over to the login area. So if you are interested in grabbing a design for your Spreadshop you can select the design from the product detail page or from the login area.

I like it, it`s a modern design, looks good. Using the search function, I found my shirts, that`s cool.
i like the updated look but i hate that you cant browse by designs anymore. browsing by products is too cluttered for me. i’d much rather browse by designs and then chose the product i’d want the design on. hmm…
I like the look of what I have seen so far, it is definitely a big plus to have a functional search function and even just browsing designs is far more appealing than with the previous Marketplace. Good work so far Spreadshirt.
