SwagShops vs Swag.com
Swag.com is built around buying branded merchandise in bulk, storing it in their warehouse, and shipping it out from that stock. SwagShops is built around a branded store people order from themselves, with items produced on demand so you are not buying stock up front — while still supporting held inventory when you want kits or a bulk program. Choose bulk-and-warehouse if you buy in large runs for events. Choose an on-demand store if you want ongoing ordering without committing budget to boxes.

FAQ
Does SwagShops hold inventory at all?
Yes, but only where it makes sense — SwagKits, onboarding kits and bulk pre-buy programs. Standard catalog items are produced on demand.
Can employees pay for their own items?
Yes. Stores support employee-paid checkout, company-funded allowances, department budgets, or a combination.
Which is cheaper?
Bulk buying wins on unit price at high volume. On-demand usually wins on total spend when orders trickle in, because nothing is paid for until someone actually wants it.
