Your brand.

Made when it sells.

Duka Yangu gives your business an online store. Print Studio is an optional way to expand that store with custom tees, hoodies and sweatshirts. Create your collection, choose your price, and let our local printing team produce and ship paid orders.

More control over your artwork

Design, prepare and reuse.

From your first upload to a repeat order, the studio helps you keep your collection organised and your prints consistent.

Layers for each side

Switch between front and back tabs, each with its own artwork. Move, resize and rotate individual layers, change their order, or lock a layer while you work.

A reusable image gallery

Every upload joins your gallery. Reuse images on new designs, download PNG copies, and remove gallery entries while preserving artwork used in saved designs and orders.

Enhance for print

Auto suggests a photo, grainy photo or graphic setting. Compare the cleaned-up image with your original before saving a separate enhanced copy. Colour and transparency are preserved.

Quality guidance before printing

See image resolution and print-size guidance as you design. Enlargement adds pixels, not missing detail, so warnings still reflect the original image quality.

Mockups that match your collection

Choose front and back views on models, hangers, tabletops or product-only scenes. Preview garment colours and choose the photos for each store listing.

Approved artwork stays consistent

Approved print crops are saved for repeat use with fixed proportions. Reuse a crop on a compatible garment or print size when its original resolution is sufficient.

Your design workspace

Preview the product before it goes live.

See the garment, print area, colours, sizes and profit as you build. Each side has its own design, and artwork outside the print boundary stays out of the production file.

From design to order

Create once. Build a collection.

Design your product

Choose a tee, hoodie or sweatshirt. Add your images, build the front and back, and select colours, sizes and a selling price.

Review and publish

Submit your artwork for approval. Add the approved template to one or more stores you own, choosing mockups and a selling price for each store.

Your customer orders

Customers shop and pay through your store’s M-Pesa checkout. Verified orders carry the garment, size, colour and print details into production.

We print. You earn.

The printing team receives the cropped print files, matching mockups and item brief. Your profit is tracked through sales history and the payout process.

Ready for your storefront

Give customers a better view.

Combine model and product photos so shoppers can see the design and the garment. Choose different views for the colours you offer.

Mockups are previews. Model images are AI-generated; garment colour and print appearance can vary in production.

Know what you earn

Price your products with confidence.

The studio shows the selected blank cost, each print charge, platform commission and your estimated profit before you publish. Printing is an additional cost for Print Studio products; your own stocked products have no Print Studio production charge.

Your selling price must cover production and commission with a positive profit. Delivery charges appear separately at checkout. Current prices and availability are shown in the studio.

A few things to know

Your questions, answered.

Do I need Print Studio to open a store?

No. Duka Yangu is an online store platform for your own products, variants, stock and M-Pesa checkout. Print Studio is an optional way to add custom merchandise to your catalogue.

Do I pay for merchandise before it sells?

There is no upfront merchandise inventory or printing payment. Production begins after a customer’s payment is verified. Production and platform commission are deducted from the sale.

Can I edit my images?

Yes. Work with separate layers on the front and back. Image enhancement offers Auto and manual settings with a before/after preview. The original remains in your gallery and enhanced copies require design approval. Approved print crops stay fixed.

Can I use a design in more than one store?

Yes. An approved product template can be added to stores you own. Each listing can use its own mockup selection and selling price. Reusing an approved print crop preserves its proportions and requires sufficient print quality.

Who checks and prints my design?

Submit artwork you own or have permission to sell. Our team reviews the print design before it goes live. The printing team receives cropped art, garment mockups and the item details for verified paid orders.

When do I get paid?

Eligible net earnings appear in your seller payout balance. Request a payout and track its status through the platform’s payout process.
