The report card
Best for selling tees through a free seller program
SunFrog lets you join its seller program for free and earn 50% of the merchandise price on sales through your link, plus 10% licensing on designs you upload. It is mainly a consumer shirt store, so you do not connect your own shop, and payouts go by ACH to a US bank or by wire only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Joining is free and you take 50% of the merchandise price on attributed sales, plus 10% on your own uploaded designs. No fee to start, though the cut is capped by their terms. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free to join with no card and no cap on how many designs you upload. You only get paid when something sells. |
| Features | C | Seller links, artwork upload, a custom storefront and payouts. The listing says sellers do not connect their own shop, and it is mainly tees. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating is on record. You upload artwork and share links, with a payout threshold of $50 to reach. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations listed and no way to link your own shop. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SunFrog is for
- Fits if you want to earn commission on shirts without running a store
- Works for creators with an audience who can share links
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to sell through your own Shopify or Etsy shop, as sellers do not connect one
- Not for you if you are outside the US and need PayPal, as payouts are ACH to a US bank or wire only
- Too light for sellers who want product choice, since it is mainly a consumer shirt store
- Watch out: shirts sold through the Event Builder pay no seller or licensing commission
Good to know

Worth knowing
- It is mainly a consumer shirt store; sellers do not connect their own shop.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
SunFrog is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could not
- Printers that make and ship each order.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
What this rests on. SunFrog’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
