Three preschoolers on a playground in Step One tees and a rainbow sweatshirt

Case study

Step One School

Shirrts was started by a Berkeley mom who believed school merch should be better and simpler. Her kids' preschool went first.

Questions

What does it cost the school?+

Nothing. No setup fee, nothing to prepay. Families pay for their own orders online.

Is there a minimum order?+

No. Five pieces or five hundred, the price per piece stays the same.

Can we see samples first?+

Yes. Order them in one click. They're printed the same way as the real order and arrive in about a week.

How does the school get paid?+

You set the price for each item. After each drop ships (or monthly, if your store stays open year-round), we pay the school the difference between your price and our base price.

How fast is it?+

Your store can be live the day you set it up. Orders arrive about a week after the store closes, bagged by student and classroom.

What about new families and staff later?+

Your store stays open. New families order anytime, and staff get their own reorder link.

Who designs the merch?+

AI designs a collection from your logo or mascot, in your school's style. Your committee votes on what goes in the store.

We already have a vendor. Why switch?+

Keep them for team uniforms if they work for you. Shirrts is for everyday spirit wear: full color, no inventory, and no volunteer chasing it.

Simpler, better school merch
