INTRODUCING ALWAYS-ON 'MERCH STORES'

 

Hawkr launched with ‘Merch Stands’ which allow you to set up a limited window merch stand for each gig you are playing. This is the best method to create hype around special drops or to reward fans at live shows with exclusive tour collections.   

 

However, we have now introduced a new ‘Merch Store’ function. Merch Stores can be open anytime you want, for any length of time, and can be found on your artist profile page on the Hawkr app. This gives you the freedom to choose whether you want to set up individual merch stands for each show, or simplify things with just one non time specific Merch Store that is always live.   

 

🔐

THE OPTION TO LOCK OR NOT

 

All ‘Merch Stands’ and your ‘Merch Store’ now have the option to be locked or not, a simple toggle switch turns this on or off. This gives you the option to increase exclusivity of merch by locking a stand, or to have it open for anyone to make a purchase without the need to unlock. 

 

As a reminder, a locked stand can be unlocked via a QR code or password (password can be set in the artist portal), or automatically via geo-location for merch stands linked to a specific venue or address.

 

💷
ARTIST CALCULATOR TOOL

 

To help you get exact clarity on how much you’ll be making for each garment you sell, you can use our new online calculator tool. You’ll be able to select the garment you plan to sell and your intended sale price, then get an exact figure on how much you will make from each sale.   To use the calculator click here.
