In 2019 Teespring, along with 25 other high-profile brands like Dior, Prada, Nike, and Zara, gained access to Instagram’s exclusive new feature—Instagram Checkout. Notably, Teespring is the only print-on-demand platform amongst this list as well as the only platform whose products are created and sold by thousands of users worldwide.
Instagram Checkout allows shoppers to purchase products without having to leave Instagram, reducing barriers like clicks and load times, and ultimately increasing sales (CTR) for Teespring users. Teespring users first saw a glimpse of Instagram Checkout in action during the Instagram keynote speech at Vidcon 2019. During the speech, Instagram announced the exclusive feature, with a special mention of Teespring, to 75,000 attendees, over 120 brand exhibitors and millions streaming at home.
Because of the exclusivity of this feature, Teespring users are granted access on a case-by-case basis.
Jarvis unlocked the feature with Teespring in June 2019—making him one
of the first creators with access to the feature

How it works
When you tap to view a product from a selected Teespring creator’s shopping post, you’ll see a “Checkout on Instagram” button on the product page. Tap it to select from various options such as size or color, then you’ll proceed to payment without leaving Instagram. Customers will only need to enter their name, email, billing information and shipping address the first time they check out.
Once the first order is complete, the information will be securely saved for convenience the next time. Buyers will also receive notifications about shipment and delivery right inside Instagram, so they can keep track of each purchase.
Checkout on Instagram is currently in closed beta for businesses and available to people in the US.

This is going to be BIG. Especially for those of us who know that IG is the gold mine of traffic that converts in this age of visual media.
Hi,
I absolutely love teespring , but I’ve had some problems with my account. I’m a newbie, and was really excited to showcase my artwork! In just 5 days, I gained 1.1 k views, not follower according to their analytics. I haven’t violated anything, and my brand is unique & one of a kind, and never seen before. Thankfukly the products came back on my account, but it makes me look bad sending it to people. There was a time where only two of my items were left on my store front , those were my baby practice designs. I came up with a #DopeBrand and think it will take off soon , but I’m worried my account could be tampered with …. I’m just waiting on my paperwork from USPTO.gov, but I have a receipt that I’ve started my copyright process with them. This was something my mom was worried about, because she knew it was great ! My first day on Twitter I got 314 views and posted super late at night! Please help, I don’t want people to think I am a scammer whenever my link is messed up? I also don’t have access to follow teespring on Twitter, and I’ve not violated any terms , or put up sensitive info? I’m begging for help, gotten a lot of good feedback. I created my own designs from scratch ? ! I’d like the designer protection if at all possible, first impression is everything! ♥️
Best ,
Erica Q

Do you deliver to Germany?
Yes we do!
Sono molto delusa da teespring perché non solo non mi ha fatto arrivare il mio ordine ma non risponde alle mie mail e mi rimanda a indirizzi vari senza risposte. E non ho ne la maglia ne il denaro indietro. Peccato
Ciao, hai provato a inviare un’e-mail a [email protected]? Per favore avvisami del numero del tuo ordine in modo che io possa provare ad aiutarti
Are your shirts all cotton?
Hey Robin, you can the details of each product we produce here https://community.teespring.com/product-overview/
Yes they are….
Looking forward to using this to sell more!!
Yes They will be.
When will this be accessible for the uk?
Hey Ben! Unfortunately Instagram Checkout is only available in the US at the moment, and this is the same across all the brands that have access to it. We are hopeful that it is something that Instagram will roll out in more locations soon! 🙂
If you change your Instagram account to business, would we have access to that feature if we are not in the US?
Hey Sandy! Unfortunately not, this feature is only available to a small selection of brands right now.
Hello! I was interested too and i think what she wanted to know is, if she can use it even if she is not from the US once she changes her account to a business one, related of course to teespring that is in those 25 brands list. For me is the same. I don’t live in the US, but i would like to sell through Teespring, so i was wondering if this was available.
Thank you for your time.
Hey! Anyone is able to sell on Teespring, no matter where you are based. In regards to the Instagram Checkout feature, this is a feature only available in the US. This doesn’t stop you from creating a business Instagram account though, there’s still many other ways you can promote you Teespring products on this platform. Please see our guide here
How do we get access to it in the U.S.?
Hey! Whilst this feature is available in the US, it is still very limited at the moment. We are only working with a very small group of creators selected case by case. This is something we hope to expand going forward!

Hey Greg! We haven’t got an ETA on when we will be working with more creators as of yet. Keep your eyes peeled in the new year though, we have lots of exciting plans!
This is awesome ! congratulations! . I’m a little bit confused. Does this mean all the sellers on Instagram will have access to this or just the Teespring account itself ?
Thanks Lisa! Currently it is just the Teespring account itself and select few accounts that we work with, but we are hoping to work with more creators on this in the future!
Hey everybody!
I don’t know if this is the right place to give my rating. You’ve achieved the twelve stars out of ten. I wanted to thank you. I think it is so great what you are doing and I am absolutely thrilled! My T-Shirt, which I ordered is perfect. The concept is very great and I am a huge fan! Thanks for everything 🙂

How do we go about applying to have this feature on our accounts? I get a lot of traffic through Instagram, even though I only have about 2/3 the number of followers there than on YouTube, yet my products are only showcased on YouTube. I would bet money that I could get more sales through Instagram!
Hey Jackie, we aren’t currently taking applications for this feature! Please keep your eyes peeled for when this feature rolls out to more users though, we are hoping it won’t be too far in the future 🙂

How can I check my Instagram shopping domain if I don’t own a teespring domain?? Thank you so much!!
Hey there, sorry, could you please rephrase the question? I’m not sure I understand what you mean 😃
I need some help I can’t login to my account for teespring because of the new 2 factor authentication thing you have to do. I can’t get ahold of anybody for help.
Hey, have you reached out to [email protected] ? If so, they’ll be in contact soon. In the meantime you can also reach out to us on social media and we can certainly help you from there!
Instagram is prompting me to verify my “domain” teespring.com by altering DNS entries or editing HTML for the shop to work
How can I do this? I don’t own teespring
Hey! Use the URL of your store 🙂 If this doesn’t work–please hang in there, we’re working on offering this as a possibility to our creators very soon but currently it is not available yet.
