@patrick_udeh Great questions! 1. On the platform side, we’re the only apparel-selling platform that allows sellers to choose whether to sell shirts for profit or as a fundraiser. (Selling shirts as a fundraiser allows them to accept donations, among other features.) We’ve also invested heavily in graphic design services and US-based customer service to help our sellers be more successful. On the merch side, we’re the only such platform that uses only premium-quality t-shirts. This is because our sellers tend to be deeply connected to their communities, and cheap-quality shirts leave everyone unhappy. 2. We’ve definitely got our eyes on some future integrations with 3rd party platforms. I can’t share a ton at the moment but stay tuned.

@kevinpenney Oh, that's great. I especially like that designers/sellers can accept donations. Besides Paypal, I would recommend including Payoneer as a means of making profit payments to sellers, especially those who are based outside the US.

@patrick_udeh Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely looking to explore multiple payout options in the near future.

@kevinpenney @patrick_udeh The customer success side and graphic help can't be ignored. I bet a lot of items submitted to sites in the space look like garbage, won't be funded, and ultimately fail to create revenue for the business. I used to work liaising between printers and people/brands/charities needing apparel. Just making sure they weren't submitting designs that would look bad once printed and I was able to make a lot doing that :) It's a good value add for both the customers and the bottom line in this case.

@thatmattgardner You nailed it - most people have no idea how much pre-production work/guidance goes into custom apparel. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the kind words @joeyfigaro. And thanks for the feedback on the registration flow - we've got an upcoming release that should be addressing that very pain point.

@kevinpenney Dumb question is this US only or can us Canucks get in on this? 🇨🇦

@brianbest We welcome users from across the globe, especially our neighbors to the North!

@brianbest Sweet! Hope you don't mind that I'm your first customer :)

@kevinpenney @brianbest what about to your neighbors... to the South? :)

Yes, we got you covered 👍

@james_bathgate Best way is to feel with with your own two hands (DM me your mailing address). Second best way is to see them in pictures - check out https://www.instagram.com/wearbo... or https://www.facebook.com/bonfire

@james_bathgate Perfect! I follow up with you from there.

@brianbest Thanks for the suggestion! I totally agree - giving our sellers advanced analytics + 3rd party integrations on their campaigns is definitely on our roadmap.

@thomaskientz Thanks for reporting! I'll forward this to our engineering team for investigation.

@frank_denbow Excellent question - our production method really depends on the complexity of the design, as well as the quantity. So in short - both, but it depends :)

@ravirajlh Yes, we do have a similar business model. See my reply to @patrick_udeh for a bit more about what makes us different.

@eboy We are going to be rolling out organic cotton options in the very near future.

@leovarmak We appreciate the love!

@rboab Thanks for the feedback! We are actively working on some improvements that will address this very frustration.
