Still not sure?

What if I already have a spreadsheet system that works?

Many coordinators start with spreadsheets — and they work, until the team grows. TeamStores.AI handles payment collection, order tracking, and shipping automatically, saving hours each season.

Is it really free to create a store?

Yes. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and no contract. You only pay wholesale product costs when your team places orders. The markup you set is your revenue.

Can I switch mid-season?

Absolutely. You can create a store and start accepting orders in under 5 minutes. Many coordinators switch mid-season when they realize how much time they are wasting on manual processes.

What if only a few people order?

No minimums. Whether 3 people or 60 people order, every item ships. You are never stuck with leftover inventory.

Do I need any technical skills?

None. If you can post a link in a group chat, you can run a TeamStores.AI store. Setup takes under 5 minutes and we handle all the technical parts.

No credit card. No contracts. No inventory risk.
