Frequently Asked Questions
How do commissions work?
On a $35 shirt sale at 10%, you earn ~$3.50 after costs—paid monthly on tracked affiliate sales only. Higher tiers mean bigger cuts.
Any fees for joining?
Garage Artists, Prestige, Enterprise, and Sponsorship tiers have no fees to join—we handle production, fulfillment, and shipping. If you'd rather skip the application and get a dedicated design without going through the open program, we also offer a paid Custom Design package with a flat one-time fee, quoted based on scope.
What about sponsorship costs?
ClutchCloth invests in your packages (e.g., booth fees, ad spots); no fees to you. We focus on mutual growth via co-selling your gear and getting featured in your promo.
