Frequently asked questions
Last updated: October 7, 2026
What is VEARA?
A New York-based print-on-demand platform for artist-made designs you can adapt with AI and order from one piece.
Who makes the designs?
Real artists upload original artwork, and you change it with AI in the editor (color, text, style) before printing.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order one piece. Prices drop at 50 and 100 pieces.
What is the VEARA PATCH?
An NFC tag sewn into the garment. A phone tap opens a page you choose. It is available on orders of 10 or more of a product.
How long does it take?
Most orders are made and shipped in the times shown on each product page. Orders with a VEARA PATCH and orders of 50 or more take about 5 weeks.
Where do you ship?
The contiguous United States. Shipping is $7.99, free on orders of $50 or more.
Can I return an item?
Every piece is made to order, so we don't offer refunds. If an order arrives damaged, defective or misprinted, we remake it and send it again at no cost.
What are credits?
Credits pay for AI changes in the editor. Every new account gets 30 credits at first login.
How do artists get paid?
Artists earn a royalty on every sale of their design, shown in their artist studio.
Can I open my own merch shop?
Yes. Join the Merch Shop waitlist and we'll set up a shop around your brand.
How does VEARA find designs my fans will like?
Our taste algorithm learns your brand and recommends designs your fan base is likely to wear. You enter your Instagram handle, VEARA scans your brand, shows you a picture of your audience, and suggests artist-made designs that fit them. You can change any suggestion with AI before it goes on a product. It is part of the Merch Shop, which is opening through the waitlist.
How is a VEARA merch shop different from building a store on Shopify?
A VEARA merch shop is set up in one click. On a store builder like Shopify you choose the products, find the designs and connect printing and payments yourself. VEARA picks designs for your fans, puts them on products and handles printing and shipping, and you can still change any design with AI. Merch shops are opening through the waitlist.
Why does VEARA put an NFC tag in clothing?
Because every design has a story that a flat print can't tell on its own. We wanted clothing that could hold a memory, so we sew an NFC chip into the garment: the VEARA PATCH. One tap with a phone opens the page behind the piece.
What can I use the VEARA PATCH for?
Anything you want people to know with one tap. At work, it can open a page about your company, an event or your role, so a conversation can go past "I work at …". For creators, it takes fans straight to your page, your latest drops or your community. It is available on orders of 10 or more of a product.
