Get Paid
We offer weekly payouts. Every Friday get paid, via Paypal, Venmo, CashApp or Apple Pay. Once an order is fulfilled the profit will be added to your balance.
Pre-orders will be added to payout once they are fulfilled.
How is Profit Calculated?
Profit is calculated by this equation:
Sold Price - Wholesale price - Processing Fees = Profit
Examples
L T-Shirt (Small Print)
Sold for $25 + Shipping
Shirt Cost: $14
Processing Fee = $1.22
Profit: $9.78
If you offer a discount code or free shipping, it will cut into your profit.

This Sounds Too Good to Be True. What's the catch?
How does VFG make money?
Although our margins are small, we are still able to make profits through our wholesale pricing. Our strategy is to sell a larger quantity of products, which compensates for the lower profit per unit.
If it's 100% free, what is the "Trial Print"?
For optimal quality control, it is recommended that the creator samples their own product before offering it for sale. This allows the creator to make any necessary improvements and ensure that the product meets their standards. No need to worry, the trial prints are still available at your wholesale costs.
Why Don't I Just Make My Own Website?
As an entrepreneur we always push people to starting their own business. The creator's program is just here to help. Once you look into everything yourself, you will realize it is easier and more profitable through our program. You get the ability of branding without any huge investments or labor.
It's Up To You
Ultimately, the success of making sales rests in your hands. Craft engaging content, make meaningful connections, and reap the financial rewards.
Why Do I Need Merch?
Branding is vital for boosting success. Our Creator's Program not only helps your fans feel more connected to you, but it also spreads awareness. Best of all, you can enjoy the benefits of branding at no cost and even gain the financial rewards.
What about taxes?
Law requires us to send out 1099s to individuals we send more than $600 to within a year. We will not ask for any tax information until you have received $500 in payouts.
How Do I Quit?
In the event that you choose to discontinue utilizing our program or opt for an alternate approach, simply get in touch with us. We will promptly close down your page and make arrangements to return any of your physical belongings (any stickers, patches, etc). It's that easy.
How long does it take to fulfill orders?
The great thing about this program is that your fans do not have to wait long. Typically, orders will ship out within 2 business days. All listing will have a disclaimer stating handling times may reach up to 5 business days.
How do I keep track of my sales and earnings?
We will share a google sheet with you that will show you all your sales, total costs and estimated payouts.
What about returns or exchanges?
There will be a disclaimer in all of your listings stating no returns or exchanges.
What about fraud orders?
We have fraud detection and in the case of a protentional fraud order, the order will be cancelled. In the case of a chargeback or item getting lost in the mail. We will handle those issues at no cost to you.
