FAQ
Where can I find my Teespring Store ID?
First, you must complete the onboarding process described above through your YouTube Studio to sign into Teespring to create a Teespring Store ID. It is also important to copy and paste your Teespring Store ID into your YouTube Studio to finalize the connection. Afterwards, you can reference your Store ID in three locations: 1. You will receive an email from Teespring containing your Store ID as soon as you sign in or sign up through the YouTube Studio Beta. 2. While signed into your Teespring account, visit teespring.com/youtube/gmc to bring up the original Store ID page. 3. In your Teespring account settings.
Will this affect my Google AdSense revenue?
No, this is a free service provided by YouTube and Teespring and it does not detract from your AdSense revenue.
Is this going to cost me anything?
Nope! This is a completely free program and it will not interfere with your ad revenue.
So does this mean I no longer have to include links in my video descriptions or do in-video promotion?
It's good practice to also include your product and store links in video descriptionsâplus YouTube recently released a new update that let's viewers hover over your store and product links to preview products. Check out the promo guide linked above to learn more.

The YouTube merch shelf will display up to 12 products, selected from your active Teespring listings (note listing must be set to 'public' visiblity within the listing's settings). If you have multiple colors, the featured color will be displayed.
Can I select the order in which my products are displayed in the shelf?
Yes you can! You can select the first 4 products displayed on your shelf at any given time using the âIntegrationsâ tab in your Teespring dashboard. Otherwise, designs will be ordered based on sales, with the most popular designs being displayed first. However, weâll prioritize designs launched in the previous 10 days over older designs.
Can I customize which products are displayed under certain videos?
Yes, check out your YouTube dashboard (and the video in 'Additional resources' above) for more info.
What kind of data does Teespring share with YouTube?
We share data about your Teespring account, including number of purchases, number of page visits, retail price of items sold, total revenue and profit, cancelled orders, and whether the page visit came from the merch shelf. We do not share any personally identifiable information with YouTube.
Why is my design available on Teespring but not visible on the YouTube merch shelf?
Products featured in the merch shelf must comply with YouTubeâs Community Guidelines. If your design is listed on Teespring but not on the merch shelf it may have been removed due to content concerns. If you recently created the product on Teespring it can take up to 2 - 3 business days to appear on your merch shelf.
