Why switch to Bonfire?
Bonfire has helped creators sell custom merch since 2012. Our team handles printing, shipping, and customer support for every print-on-demand order.
Here's what you get with Bonfire Pro:
Your own branded store. Add your logo, colors, and fonts, and connect your custom domain.
A curated catalog of high-quality print-on-demand products. Tees, hoodies, hats, totes, drinkware and more, on blanks like Comfort Colors, Bella+Canvas, Nike, and Champion.
Sell your own inventory too. List handmade or small-batch items next to print-on-demand products, all in one checkout.
Sell in person. Use the Bonfire Point of Sale app at events, shows, and meetups.
No inventory, no upfront cost. We print each item when it's ordered.
Support handled for you. Our US-based team answers buyer questions and handles returns on print-on-demand orders.
Fast payouts through Stripe. Sales go to your Stripe account, then to your bank.
Plans start at $8.25/month on Essentials (billed yearly). Super, at $24.92/month billed yearly, gives you higher profit margins. Both include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. See Bonfire Pro pricing.
Before you start:
Gather the following assets to speed up the store setup process.
Your original artwork files. High-resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds work best. Aim for 300 DPI at print size (roughly 4500 x 5400 px for a full front print).
Your branding. Logo, brand colors, fonts, and any banner images.
Product descriptions and photos you want to reuse from your Spring store.
Your links. Document everywhere your Spring store is linked, such as YouTube, link-in-bio, social profiles, and your website, so you can update them later.
Your custom domain login, if you used one with Spring.
Your bank details for setting up Stripe payouts.
Don't have your original design files? Our Bonfire Studio team can rebuild or clean up your artwork so it's print-ready. See "Refresh your merch with Bonfire Studio" below.
Set up your Bonfire Pro store
Follow these seven steps to go from sign-up to your first sale.
Start your free trial. Go to pro.bonfire.com/signup and create your account. The first 30 days are free, and no credit card is needed. Already have a Bonfire account? You can use the same login.
Choose your plan. Start on Essentials, or pick Super if you sell a lot and want higher profit per item. You can switch plans later.
Brand your store. Pick a theme preset, upload your logo, and set your colors and fonts. Add a banner and a short "About" blurb so returning fans know it's you.
Connect your domain (optional). If you own a domain, connect it in your store settings so fans land on a familiar address.
Add your products.
Pick a product from the catalog and choose the colors you want to offer.
Upload your artwork, or start from one of our design templates.
Set your selling price. You'll see your profit per item as you price.
Add a title and description, then publish.
Group related items into collections, like a new drop or a series.
Add your own inventory (optional). Selling stickers, prints or handmade goods you already have? List them alongside your print-on-demand products.
Connect Stripe for payouts. Link a new or existing Stripe account. Customer payments go to Stripe, and Stripe sends payouts to your bank. Bonfire never stores your banking details.
When everything looks right, preview your store, place a test order if you like, and publish.
Tip: You don't need to move everything on day one. Start with your 5 to 10 best sellers, launch, then add the rest over time.
Want extra hands? Invite team members to help manage your store without sharing a login.

How it works:
Brief. Tell us your vision and share any inspiration.
Collaborate. Review initial concepts, give feedback, and get your final design.
Launch. Add your new design to products in your Bonfire Pro store.
If you're not happy with the result, we'll refund your Studio order. Request a design.
Let your fans know you've moved
Once your store is live, update every link that pointed to Spring so no sale gets lost.
Update your links. Swap in your new store URL on YouTube, your link-in-bio, social profiles, email signature, and website.
Point your domain. If you used a custom domain with Spring, connect it to Bonfire Pro so old links still work.
Announce the move. A quick post, video mention, or email works well. Tell fans where to find you and what's new.
Make it an event. Launch with a fresh design, a limited drop, or a short-term discount to give fans a reason to visit.
Sell in person. Heading to a con, show or meetup? Download the Bonfire Point of Sale app to sell from the same store.
FAQ for former Spring creators
Can Bonfire import my Spring store automatically?
Unfortunately, Spring has shut down your store, so you will need to import your Spring store to Bonfire. You'll upload your artwork and set up products yourself, which usually goes quickly with your files ready. If your artwork needs work, Bonfire Studio can help.
Do I have to move to Amaze from Spring?
That's your choice. Bonfire Pro is an independent option, and you can try it free for 30 days before deciding if we are the right fit.
What does Bonfire Pro cost?
Essentials is $8.25/month and Super is $24.92/month, both billed yearly, after a 30-day free trial. Super earns you more on each sale and charges no fees on donations or self-fulfilled products. Learn about pricing.
How is Bonfire Pro different from a Bonfire.com campaign?
Bonfire.com is free and built for campaigns and fundraisers on a Bonfire-hosted page. Bonfire Pro is a paid, fully branded, always-on store with your own domain, your own inventory and in-person sales. Most Spring creators will feel at home on Pro.
Who prints and ships my orders?
Bonfire prints and ships every print-on-demand order and handles buyer support and returns for those orders. You ship any self-fulfilled inventory yourself.
How do I get paid?
Through Stripe. Customer payments go to your Stripe account, then to your bank.
What about my open Spring orders and payouts?
Contact Spring support for anything related to orders or earnings on your Spring store.
