This article explains how to set up on-demand swag so you can create a sendable product in minutes, without holding inventory or meeting a minimum order quantity. You'll need admin access to your organization's PerkUp account.
What is on-demand swag?
On-demand swag is a catalog of blank products that PerkUp prints and ships per order, one unit at a time. There's no minimum order quantity and no inventory to hold — each item is decorated with your logo or artwork only when a recipient redeems it. Pricing is per unit: a base product price plus a decoration price based on the printed area.
Where do I find the on-demand catalog?
Go to Swag → On Demand catalog in your admin dashboard. You'll see a library of blank products you can filter by shipping country, category, brand, price, color, and print technique (embroidery, DTG, DTF, UV, sublimation, screen printing, laser engraving, and more, depending on the product). Use these filters to narrow down to products that ship where your recipients are and match your budget.
Do I need to upload my logo first?
You don't have to upload your logo before browsing, but you do need it uploaded before you can save a product. PerkUp stores your logo in a logo library, and you only need to upload it once — every product you create afterward can reuse it.
What's the fastest way to create a product?
Once your logo is uploaded, you have two options from any product card in the On Demand catalog:
Quick-add: Click to add the product directly. PerkUp auto-generates mockups using your stored logo and its default placement, so you don't have to open the editor at all.
Customize in the editor: Open the design editor to choose a different placement, print technique, color, or artwork before saving. See "Creating a new design in the on-demand catalog" for the full editor walkthrough.
Quick-add is the faster route if you're happy with the default logo placement and just want a sendable product right away.
What happens after I save a product?
Saving a product — whether by quick-add or through the editor — creates it in your organization's private catalog. It's also automatically added to your organization's default swag collection (named "{Your Org} Swag"), so it's immediately available without any extra collection setup. From there, the product can be included in redemption pages, bulk orders, or your published swag store just like any other catalog item.
Can I edit a product after saving it?
Yes. On-demand designs are editable in place — you can update the artwork, change the product title, description, or thumbnail, remove colors, or archive the product entirely. Edits apply to the live product immediately, so anyone redeeming it afterward sees the updated version. Note that on-demand designs don't keep version history, so there's no way to revert to a previous version after an edit.
What if a product I need isn't available in the catalog?
There's no in-product "request a product" button in the on-demand catalog. If you need something you can't find there, check the bulk catalog first — it carries a much wider range of products, though bulk orders come with per-product quantity minimums. If you still can't find what you need, contact us through the messenger on this help center or in the app and describe the product; PerkUp can often source specific items for bulk orders on request.
