Bonfire, similar to The Church Shop, provides a streamlined all-in-one platform. However, their range of offerings falls short in aspects such as storefronts, product catalog, and color options.
Actual Human Review
In contrast to other Print-On-Demand systems, like Bonfire, our unique approach includes a human review process for each product before it’s added to your store. You don’t need to concern yourself with questions about print quality or the aesthetic appeal of your design on a product – we guarantee consistent excellence, every single time.
YOUR CHURCH. YOUR BRAND.
The Church Shop’s all-inclusive platform gives you the opportunity to employ a white-label system for your merchandise sales. Our brand takes a backseat, allowing yours to prominently stand out.
FEES? NO THANK YOU!
We never impose any fees! The funds you collect are entirely yours. We absorb all transaction costs because we passionately support your mission!
Design Your Products. Your Way. Bonfire offers an appealing template with limited customization options.
In contrast, The Church Shop allows you to request a storefront that seamlessly aligns with your website’s aesthetic. Harness the potential of our custom plan for a fully managed merchandise system tailored to your needs.
Church Focused
Bonfire is primarily designed with businesses in mind, which works well for many organizations, but can still present complexities for churches.
On the other hand, The Church Shop is specifically constructed with churches in mind. You can be assured that we understand your specific challenges and circumstances. We manage transactions, taxes, and even fundraising in a manner that simplifies the process for churches
More Than Just Apparel
Bonfire’s print-on-demand options are confined to apparel and mugs, with a limited color palette of only five choices per shirt style.
The Church Shop provides a wide selection of options including embroidery, tumblers, stickers, and magnets, in as many colors as you want for your store, offering you extensive customization opportunities.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
It’s not just us, churches all over are saying the same thing about their experience. The Church Shop is the #1 place to get merch for churches.
We only have good things to say about The Church Shop and the process.

I set up my merch store thru them and I’m so impressed. And everyone at church thinks I’m a genius 😅

Go with The Church Shop. It’s so easy to use!
Church Shop Customer
Our Pastor has been wanting to sell merch forever. The Church Shop made this so easy! We don’t have to store it in house and I don’t even have to think about it.
Sandy S.
The fact that The Church Shop handles everything so we don’t have to is a load off my mind. We finally have merch!
*We handle all transactions. With other POD suppliers, you have to set up transactions to paypal, stripe, etc. **We are available via chat, email, and phone calls. Others are only available via chat and email, and even then there is a wait.
