Spreadshirt-Designer: Guide

What is the Spreadshirt Designer and how can I make my own t-shirt here?

With the Spreadshirt Designer you can design and order your own t-shirts and other products from our apparel assortment. There is no minimum order: you're free to order just one, individually printed shirt.

  1. Choose a t-shirt from our selection. You don’t know which size you need? Find out by clicking on the small information mark next to the product name. Details of the weight and manufacturing can be found there as well.
  2. Choose a design. You can upload your own photography, or pick one out from our Design Network (see Spreadshirt Marketplace). To find out which designs you can upload to the Spreadshirt Designer, have a look at this FAQ item. For basic info on designs for Spreadshirt, click here.
  3. But text can also be nice. Choose a font and write what you want. Your design and text can be turned, mirrored or enlarged within the given print area.
  4. Once the t-shirt looks like you want, proceed to check out and order it.


Every personally designed article is an original: Your design will be placed on the t-shirt according to your instructions. Since this action is not automated, it is possible that there could be minor alterations. Also, it's possible that the design will look smaller or larger in reality. This is because the t-shirt example shown is always a fixed size (often "medium", sometimes "small").

What methods of payment are available?

Methods of payment available are based on the country where the order was received from and the total amount on the bill.

  • Credit card: Your credit card will automatically be charged by our financial service provider Bibit. After necessary verifications have been completed your order will then be processed.
  • PayPal: The transaction will be processed by PayPal, an external financial service provider. During the checkout process you will be redirected to PayPal and pay with your account there. Your data will not be transferred to Spreadshirt. After verifications have been completed by PayPal your order will then be processed. (Not available for all countries.)
  • Check/money order : Check orders must be drawn in U.S. funds from a U.S. bank and will not begin processing until your payment arrives. Please note all checks received will be converted to ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions and will be debited from your account. This process may take up to 5 business days. Please note we do not accept starter checks. (Not available for all countries.)
  • Member account: If you are a Spreadshirt Shop Partner or Marketplace Contributor and you have enough commission earned in your account, then you can pay with the commission in your account. This option will be shown only when your account has enough commissions accumulated to cover the order.
