Getting started
How do I start a clothing brand without inventory?
You can start your clothing brand with a free Airventory account and your own designs. There is no subscription or minimum garment order, and you can order a sample before setting up your store.
What do I need to start?
Start with a free Airventory account and your artwork. Choose a garment from the catalog, then use the design canvas to set your print size, position and neck branding. You can build the product and order a sample before you connect a store.
Can I start with one item?
Yes. Order one finished garment to check the fabric, fit, print and branding before you sell it. Samples cost the same as regular orders, with no separate sample fee. How do I order my first sample?
When do I pay?
Designing is free. You pay Airventory when you place a fulfillment order, after your customer has paid your store or when you order your own sample. How do customer and fulfillment payments differ?
How do I launch?
Choose your garment and save the finished design as a Product Template.
Order a printed sample and check it in person.
Connect your store in Stores → Add store.
Publish a new listing or link an existing product from Product Templates → Add to store.
Set the retail price, product details and delivery information in your store.
Choose manual payment or automatic processing in Airventory.
When a linked product sells, Airventory fulfills the approved, paid order. How do I connect my store?
Do I need a website or an audience first?
No. You can design products and order samples before building a website or audience. Use the finished sample to create your product photos, wear the garment and plan your launch. Start with the catalog.
