How can a cycling or running club kit supplier take a whole club's order on Shopify in one go?

British Cycling says it has 145,000 members and 2,000 affiliated clubs. England Athletics affiliated 1,454 clubs in 2024/25 and registered 177,441 athletes and runners. Every one of those clubs orders kit, usually once or twice a year, usually through one volunteer with a spreadsheet, and usually from a supplier whose website cannot take the order.

How can a cycling or running club kit supplier take a whole club's order on Shopify in one go?

Put the whole club on one product page. The kit secretary picks the garment and the colour, uploads the club logo once, types the club name once, and then fills in how many they need in each size: 10 small, 12 medium, 8 large. Every garment counts towards the club price, each size goes into the basket as its own line with the same logo and text, and the order lands in Shopify ready to print. Inchy, a Shopify app for team wear, works this way as a product page block on the Team wear plan at $19.99 a month.

A club order of 30 in the live demo: the badge and the name once, the sizes in one grid, £651.30 in total.

Why does a club order not fit a normal product page?

A standard Shopify product sells one variant at a time. The kit secretary picks medium, sets 12, adds to basket, goes back, picks small, sets 10, and so on. Shopify also allows three options per product, so once size, colour and print are used there is no place for the logo file or the club name, and the person ordering ends up emailing them separately.

The bigger problem is the price. Clubs expect a club price, and a club price counts the whole order. Ten smalls and twelve mediums are 22 garments, not two orders of ten and twelve. If the discount is set per variant, the small order and the medium order each fall into a lower band than the club deserves, and the secretary notices.

And then the workshop. A club order that arrives as five basket lines with five uploaded files has to be pieced back together before anyone can print it. How a Shopify store can take a team t-shirt order in every size in one go goes through the same problem for a rugby squad.

How should the club price work?

Set price bands by quantity, show them on the page, and let the builder count every size towards them. In the demo, 5 or more save 10%, 12 or more save 15% and 25 or more save 25%. These are the demo's sample numbers; you set your own bands and your own savings.

For a black shirt with a logo, a line of text and print front and back, the demo's single price is £28.95. At 25 or more it is £21.71 each. The club order of 30 above comes to £651.30, and the builder tells the secretary they save £217.20 against 30 single shirts. As the sizes are typed in, the builder also says how far the order is from the next band, for example "Add 6 more to save 25% on every one."

Most club orders land in the top band without trying. A running club that sends 30 people to a relay, or a cycling club with 40 members on the Sunday ride, is past 25 before the juniors are counted.

What about the garments that cost more?

They are charged exactly, on their own line, and still count towards the club price. In the demo XXL carries an extra £2.00 before the saving, so in a 30 garment order every other size is £21.71 and an XXL is £23.21. Long sleeves, a women's cut or a gilet can be set up the same way: a size or a style that costs more carries its own extra, and the whole order still earns the band.

What does the kit secretary need on the page?

Less than you think. The person ordering is a volunteer doing this in the evening, so each thing they need should be where they expect it.

• The colours as swatches, with the shirt redrawn in the chosen colour.
• One upload for the club badge, placed on the shirt straight away and draggable into position. The demo takes PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF up to 5 MB.
• One text field for the club name, up to 24 characters in the demo, drawn under the badge.
• The size grid with a running count: "30 shirts in your order. You have the best price."
• Front only or front and back, each with its price.
• A breakdown of how the total is made before they pay.

What a custom t-shirt builder with logo upload should do covers the upload and the drawing in more detail.

What arrives in the shop and the workshop?

The breakdown the secretary saw is the order you get. Base price, logo, text, print, the club saving, then one line per size with its quantity and price.

Each size goes into the Shopify basket as its own line, with the logo file attached and the text on it, so the order reads like a print list. Inchy adds a production sheet to Shopify's Print menu with every size and a box to tick, and a daily work list where the whole club order is one line: "30 in total: S × 10, M × 12, L × 8". The checkout works the price out again from the same bands, so the total on the order matches the total on the page.

Orders above an amount you set can show a note and a quote button instead of going straight to payment. In the demo, the 30 shirt order shows "For a project this size we would like to talk it through with you first" with a button to ask about team and bulk orders. Many kit suppliers prefer that for a first order from a new club, and let repeat orders go straight through.

Questions and answers

Can members order their own kit against a club design?

Yes. Keep the club product live with the logo and the name set, and each member orders one or two garments in their own size. The club bands apply to each order on its own.

Can I set a minimum order for a club price?

Yes. The first band starts where you say. Below it the single price applies.

Can the secretary add names or numbers?

The demo shirt has one line of text drawn under the logo. For a name on every shirt, each name is typed with its size and goes to the order with it.

What does it cost?

Inchy has a Free plan with one product live, no card and no time limit. Team wear is $19.99 a month, for garments priced per item, with unlimited products, billed by Shopify with no fee per order. There is a 7-day free trial.
