techstars_ SaaS merch store · built with SourceEazy

Your community. Your journey. Your swag.

SourceEazy’s SaaS ecommerce store gives any brand its own merch shop in its own colours. I designed the full experience, shown here for Techstars: browsing and customizing branded products, a quick checkout, private giveaway links and order tracking.

01.Overview

One platform, every brand’s own store

Companies, accelerators and communities want branded merch, but running a shop isn’t their business. SourceEazy offers a ready-made store that takes on each brand’s logo, colours and footer, while SourceEazy handles products, decoration and fulfilment. I designed it for three people.

  • Team member

    Browses the brand’s catalogue, adds a design and orders for themselves or the team.

  • Giveaway recipient

    Opens a private link, picks sizes and colours, and gets swag for free.

  • Brand team

    Sets up products and giveaways and follows every order’s status.

02.Challenge

A store that feels like the brand, not the vendor

  • 01White-label without the blandness

    Every store must look native to its brand, with the same design working for Techstars or anyone else.

  • 02Custom products, simple checkout

    Colours, decoration, placements, sizes and tiered pricing, without making checkout feel like a form.

  • 03Free swag, done safely

    Giveaways need private links, deadlines and no payment step, but still a real shipping address.

03.Two paths

Shop or giveaway, one store

The same storefront serves two journeys. Shoppers pay; giveaway recipients don’t. Both end in the same order history.

04.Storefront

Find it, then add it in one step

A bold hero carries the brand’s voice, then a single search and a clean product grid. Every card offers Buy and Add, so nobody has to open a product page just to pick a size.

Quick add shows tiered pricing, sizes and colours in a modal. Filters open in a side drawer and keep the grid in view.

05.Product & design

Customize it the way you’d explain it

The product page reads like a numbered recipe: choose colours, choose a decoration method, upload designs per placement, pick a size and a quantity.

A simpler variant for ready-made items: a tiered pricing table from 1 to 100 units, sizes and colour chips.

06.Cart & checkout

Three steps, no surprises

The cart opens as a drawer over the product, so shopping never stops. Checkout then saves the address once and shows shipping speed, tax and total before the order is placed.

07.Giveaways

Free swag, with a deadline

A brand can send a private giveaway link. Recipients see a countdown, the items chosen for them, and simple size and colour pickers. No cart, no payment.

Every order, one table

Purchases and giveaways share one order history, with thumbnails, quantity, date and a colour-coded status.

09.Design system

White-label by design

The store is built from neutral components that take on each brand’s logo and accent. For Techstars that means black, white and their signature green.
