How to use a template to configure your merch

If you don't have a logo or design, don't worry, we have several templates that will help you design your merch. There is no up-front cost to design your merch.

1. Choose your item

Under the "Design your merch" menu item, choose the type of item you would like to configure. In the list of products, look for the ones have a sample design pictured and a design name in the product name, for instance "Configure my custom shirt for ActBlue - Three Stars".

2. Add your text and pick your font, colors and placement

On the right side of the page will be all of the things that you can configure for the template you have chosen. Some templates allow for more configurable options than others.    

Input the text that you want in each of the text boxes. You can select the font, color and size for each text box. You can also move the text boxes around to place them where you like.

3. Pick your colors and placement

On the right side of the page will be all of the things that you can configure for the template you have chosen. Some templates allow for more configurable options than others, like background color, star or line color and union bug color.

To move items around in the design, just click on them and drag them to a new location. You can resize them as well by clicking on the corners of the box and drag to make larger or smaller.

4. Add the item to your shopping cart and check out

Product configuration is free. You'll see that your item has a zero dollar price if you are just configuring it to offer it on ActBlue.

Once you have finalized your design, add the product to your cart. Feel free to add multiple products that you want to offer on ActBlue.

5. Once you have checked out, you will get an email with your product configuration information

In roughly one business day, you will get an email with a preview graphic of the item you configured and the information you need to add it to your ActBlue page.
