Your merch, on your own site. Not a shelf on Redbubble.
Looking for a site like Redbubble? Try your own. Drate gives you a shop on your own domain, in your look, with merch that’s printed and shipped for you. Add memberships, posts and courses beside it whenever you like.
Why creators leave Redbubble.
One of 600,000 artists.
Your designs live on redbubble.com beside more than 600,000 other artists, and every sale goes through Redbubble’s checkout. Even the shop you embed on your own site sends buyers there.
You never learn who bought.
Redbubble says it can’t share any personal information about your customers. Their questions and returns go to Redbubble, not to you.
A 20% to 50% cut.
Redbubble puts you in a tier you can’t ask to change. Standard accounts pay 50% of monthly earnings in fees and Premium 20%, up to $150 a month.
What you get on Drate.
A shop on your own site.
Your merch on your own domain, in your look, with nobody else’s designs beside it. Buyers check out on your site, and you see who they are.
Printed and shipped for you.
Each order is printed on demand and shipped within the US, so there’s nothing to stock and nothing to pack.
More than merch.
Add memberships, members-only posts, video and courses beside your shop, and give fans your own iOS and Android app on Pro.
$9 a month, no cut of shop sales.

How switching works.
There are no members to move, just your designs. Keep your Redbubble shop open while you set up, then point your fans to your own site.
Start your site.
Pick a starting point, add your name and choose your look. Your site is ready in minutes, and nothing is public until you publish.
Add your designs.
Put your art on shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, totes and mugs in Drate’s merch editor, and set your own prices.
Connect your Fourthwall shop.
Already sell on Fourthwall? Connect it to show those products on your site too. Fans still check out on Fourthwall.
Send fans to your site.
Share your new shop wherever your fans follow you, and put its link in your bio.
Side by side.
