Team Store Fundraising
Every order raises money for your program.
There's no cost to start. Your team store comes with a fundraiser built in — a markup your program chooses that comes back to you on every sale, with no upfront cost, no inventory, and no order minimums.
How the fundraiser works
You choose the markup
Most programs pick 10–15% on their store's gear. The exact rate is set when your store is built.
Supporters buy gear they want
Players, parents, and fans order real team gear in their own size, shipped straight to them.
The markup comes back to you
Your program's share comes back on every order — no upfront cost, no order minimums. Direct Team Sports cuts your organization a check for the proceeds, with most programs receiving payouts quarterly.
No upfront cost. No inventory. No order minimums. The exact rate is set when your store is built.

FAQ
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. Free online team stores have $0 setup and no monthly fee, and the organizer never holds inventory.
How is the fundraiser rate set?
Your organization chooses the markup on your store's gear — most programs pick 10–15%. The exact rate is set when your store is built.
When and how does our program get its share?
Specific fundraised proceeds and distribution are agreed upon during the onboarding process — most organizations choose to receive payouts quarterly, paid by check. Questions before then? Call 941-342-0244.
Do you handle shipping?
Yes. Everyone orders their own item in their own size, and it's made to order and shipped straight to the buyer.
How long until we launch?
Most stores go live within 1–2 weeks of approving your gear and artwork. Bigger multi-team or multi-logo builds take 2–3 weeks.
