Which programs fit which platform?

MOQ1 handles the everyday branded merchandise programs your clients come back to. OrderMyGear is better for programs requiring custom supplier integrations or niche products. Many distributors use both.

MOQ1 is built for
  • Always-on client ordering portals β€” every client has a branded shop, open day and night, whether they want to call you or not
  • Everyday branded merchandise β€” company stores, team apparel, and employee merch that clients reorder again and again
  • Quick reorders and fast-turn requests β€” the orders that used to quietly go to dot-com competitors
  • Shoppable catalogs for prospecting, pitching, and closing new clients before the sale is even closed
  • School, team, and spirit wear programs β€” live in seconds, active all season
  • Event, campaign, and seasonal shops β€” fast to launch, no leftover inventory
OrderMyGear was designed for
  • Programs requiring custom supplier integrations or niche products outside MOQ1's curated catalog
  • Fully managed white-label builds with custom development and professional services
  • Programs where embroidery or screen printing is the primary decoration method
  • Programs where a longer setup and launch timeline is acceptable
MOQ1 Enterprise includes white-label, custom domain, team controls, and role-based permissions β€” with the speed and simplicity MOQ1 is known for. Learn about MOQ1 Enterprise β†’
Many distributors use both β€” and that's a smart strategy.
MOQ1 for the everyday branded merchandise needs, ongoing programs, and orders that need to move fast β€” keeping you present with every client even when you're not personally involved. OrderMyGear for programs requiring custom supplier integrations or niche products outside MOQ1's catalog. You don't have to choose β€” the best-performing distributors don't.

Bottom line: MOQ1 is the free, on-demand alternative to OrderMyGear for distributors running everyday branded merchandise programs. OrderMyGear is the right tool for custom-supplier and enterprise builds.
