The Best Tech Merch Stores of 2026
Most tech companies spend millions perfecting their products. They refine user flows, A/B test button colors, and obsess over micro-interactions that most people never consciously notice. Then they build a merch store and slap their logo on the cheapest available hoodie.
The result? Closets full of promotional t-shirts that people only wear to the gym, tote bags that end up stuffed in drawers, and water bottles collecting dust on shelves. It's ‘swag’ as an afterthought, something of a checkbox item for HR or a conference giveaway.
But we’ve been noticing another category entirely. A small group of tech companies that treat their merch stores the same way they treat their product: designed experiences with clear user needs and careful thought behind each choice.
Where most companies ask "What can we stamp our logo on?", the best ones ask "What would our community actually want to own?" The difference shows up in sales, in brand perception, and in one simple metric that cuts through all the noise: voluntary use. 67% of corporate buyers say they only consider promotional products successful if recipients actually choose to use or wear them.
The stores below have figured this out. They've committed resources, hired real designers, made thoughtful decisions about sustainability and production, and built operations that reflect how they already think about doing business.
What Makes a Great Tech Merch Store?
The companies that get this right do three things differently:
They treat merch as brand infrastructure, not brand decoration. The design language, the product selection, all of it feels like it came from the same team that built the core product. There's coherence. When you see a piece of merch, you immediately understand which company is behind it.
They build around something the community already recognizes. Say a mascot, a color, or a joke the community already loves.
Most importantly, they make things people would buy even without the company connection. This is the test that most merch fails. Strip away the logo and ask: would someone still use it?
Top Tech Company Merch Stores
1. Figma
Picture this: You're a brand whose users are designers and developers, the same people who critique kerning over coffee and debate color systems in Slack threads. Your merch can't just exist. It has to work.
So Figma spent eight months with New York creative studio Garrett Elizabeth Office (G.E.O.) doing something many brands won't: actually designing their merchandise. The inspiration drew from 90s desktop computing, anthropomorphized office supplies, and open-source clip art libraries. The goal was to take visual references that Figma's community would instantly recognize and reframe them with contemporary craft.
That level of creative investment changes what the store communicates. It stops being a place to buy branded merchandise and starts being an expression of what the brand actually stands for.
Figma is known for it’s editing mechanics by it’s users- that is a tool that anyone within their community would reognise immediately. Source: Figma Store
The current Season 4 collection reflects that thinking, too, with products that look intentional and not generic. The store runs on seasonal drops, which keep the collection tight and the community engaged.
That same discipline carries into how Figma thinks about sustainability, which matters because the merch industry has a landfill problem: 7 out of 10 promotional products end up in the trash. Producing less is one response to that. Directing 100% of store profits toward carbon removal through The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program is another. Together, they make the Figma Store one of the few places where buying merch may actually be a net positive.
This is ithe level of contribution that a user purchased can show up on the data, that’s what Figma planned with their merchandise. Source: Figma Store
What Gumtoo Likes: The eight-month G.E.O. collaboration stands out most to us. It's easy to say that merch should feel like a brand extension. It's harder to actually commit the time and resources to make that happen. Most brands don't. Figma did, and the result is a store that feels native to the product rather than bolted onto it.
Why the Store Stands Out: The sustainability model is genuinely rare. Tying a limited-drop structure to a carbon removal program is a decision that shapes how the store is built, stocked, and monetized. At a time when most branded merchandise ends up forgotten in a drawer or worse, in a landfill, Figma has built a store with a clear point of view on what merch should do and what it shouldn't cost the planet.
2. Framer
If we had to define Framer's merch store in one word, our pick would be 'clever.'
Framer has a strong community of makers: people who have strong opinions about the tools they use, the workflows they build, and yes, the merch they buy. The store offers all the basics you can imagine: a tee, a sweatshirt, a cap, a mug, etc., all manufactured by Monday Merch, a sustainability-certified production partner backed by an Ecovadis Gold Sustainability Certification and ISO 14001.
This quality mug is sustainability-certified from Framer which is what has become the new basics. Source: Framer Store
But there's one product that makes the Framer Store worth talking about: the Creator Micro 2. It is a wireless mechanical keyboard built in collaboration with the creative hardware brand Work Louder. It maps directly to the actions Framer users run dozens of times a day: publishing, opening CMS, copying effects, switching between apps.
Why did we call the merch store clever? Because of this one product. If you look closely, the Creator Micro 2 isn't really a merch item. It's a product extension cleverly hidden in a merch store.
But Framer released an extension keyboard that their users can customize their most used keys. This is useful. Source: Framer
What Gumtoo Likes: Most brands stop at keychains and tees. Framer built a keyboard. The Creator Micro 2 is purpose-built for their community and the kind of thing a Framer user would buy regardless of the logo on it.
Why the Store Stands Out: The sustainability credentials. There's a difference between saying your merch is eco-friendly and actually proving it. Monday Merch's Ecovadis Gold Certification and ISO 14001 put Framer's sustainability commitment in the verified column.
3. Notion
Notion never built an official merch store. But its community did it for them.
Notionware is a third-party fan store, completely unaffiliated with Notion Labs. It was built out of love for the product, and it shows.
Let's put it this way: if you've ever spent an afternoon reorganizing your Notion dashboard, this store was made for you.
Notion doesn’t have it’s own merchandise- it never had in the first place. It was made by it’s fanbase community who built it for them. Source: Notionware
The range goes well beyond the basics. T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, socks, bags, pin badges, coasters, cushions, greeting cards, and even baby bodysuits. Every product is custom-printed at the time of ordering.
And the fact that a community built this before Notion ever did says more about the brand's pull than any official store could.
What Gumtoo Likes: The sheer range. Notionware doesn't just sell apparel, but it kits out an entire lifestyle.
Why the Store Stands Out: It's a fan store that doesn't feel like one. The design, the copy, and the product selection all reflect a genuine understanding of what Notion users actually want.
4. Shopify
Shopify Supply is the official store for the commerce community, designed for the .liquid lovers, bug bashers, and full-stack shippers who live inside the platform. But it is also a live demonstration of what a best-in-class Shopify store actually looks like.
The store launched in 2021 with one product: the ChaChing Button. A silver button that plays the sound every Shopify merchant knows by heart. It sold out within the hour.
Chaching Button got so popular with Shopify- they made a merch out of a sound of purchase that their users are familiar with. If that’s not creative, then we don’t know what is. Source: Shopify
Since then, Supply has grown into a full community destination. Think products built with Shopify merchants, developer drops, fan merch for their esports team, and freebies like digital wallpapers and a Business Blueprint planning kit.
Once Shopify got popular for it’s ChaChing Button, they didn’t waste much time introducing their merch store which has now multiplied into various products- like these stickers. Source: Shopify
What Gumtoo Likes: The ChaChing Button. Being sold out in an hour? It's a massive feat if you ask us!
Why the Store Stands Out: The store walks the walk. It runs on Hydrogen, Shopify's own commerce stack and is deployed on Oxygen, their global hosting solution. Translation: Shopify is literally its own best case study.
5. Zapier
If you didn't know, Zapier is an automation platform; their merch store will spell it out for you: Automatic Apparel.
Zapier's customers are automation nerds who feel offended by manual data entry. And when those customers started making their own Zapier merch, creating custom stickers and branded robes just because they loved the product that much, Zapier paid attention.
Zapier actually let it’s users design their own merchandise and that’s what based their website on. Source: Zapier
Every product name is a Zapier joke that only a Zapier user would appreciate.
The range covers hoodies, crewnecks, tees, hats, socks, notebooks, and keychains, with garment-dyed finishes.
The name changed according on the Zapier shop website to accommodate the quirkines of their users. Source: Zapier
What Gumtoo Likes: The product naming. It's sharp and completely on-brand without trying too hard.
Why the Store Stands Out: Automatic Apparel started as a response to customer love, not a marketing initiative. This is a different story from most brands on this list.
6. Make
Make is a no-code automation platform used by over 400,000 organizations worldwide. Its community is called Makers, people who build workflows, connect systems, and automate repetitive work.
The merch store doesn't try to be more than it is. The range is functional, and the design mirrors Make's purple-pink gradient, making the store feel cohesive.
The color contrast of the purple and black hues is what brings the charm for Make Merchandise. Source: Make Store
What Gumtoo Likes: The purple-pink gradient that runs through the entire collection. Make's color identity is distinct enough that you'd recognize the merch without the logo.
Why the Store Stands Out: Not every merch store needs to stand out. Make's store is a clean collection for a community that already knows why they're there.
7. OpenAI
OpenAI doesn't need an introduction. The name behind ChatGPT and GPT-5 is arguably the most talked-about tech company in the world right now.
But its merch store? Almost nobody knew it existed.
OpenAI Supply Co. has been active since at least July 2024. But the catch is that it is strictly internal.
In December 2025, as part of its 10th anniversary, the company posted a link to the store on X. For the first time, the public could actually buy from it. And if you didn't guess it already, everything sold out within hours.
A shirt bearing a line pulled directly from OpenAI's founding charter. Five Pokémon-style trading cards, each representing a different product, each carrying a piece of internal culture. Muted colors, minimal branding. Things that you would actually wear without feeling like a walking billboard.
The minimalism is what caught the developers eyes- initially it was a staff-only merch store but once they got it public. Everyone wanted in on it. Source: X
But now, the store is back to being internal-only.
What Gumtoo Likes: The specificity of the products. Every item referenced something real inside the company, from founding principles to internal codenames.
Why the Store Stands Out: Most internal merch stays internal because it isn't interesting enough to go public. OpenAI's sold out in hours.
8. Perplexity
Perplexity's merch store, Supply, runs on a simple philosophy - no gimmicks, no excess, just quality goods designed with intention. And the store delivers on that.
The range covers apparel, caps, goods, artwork prints, and even a kids' collection, all built around the brand's core identity rather than its logo.
These artwork prints brings out the unthinkable Perplexity is known. That’s what their merch stood for too. Source: Perplexity Supply
What Gumtoo Likes: The kids' collection. It extends the brand's core idea to the next generation without feeling forced.
Why the Store Stands Out: Most tech merch stores sell apparel. But Supply feels like it was built by people who actually believe in what the product stands for.
9. Duolingo
Duolingo has the most recognizable brand personalities in tech. The green owl is everywhere. Memes. TikToks. Even in the back of your mind, when you haven't done your lesson.
Duolingo's merch store leans fully into the brand's humor as well. Plushies of Duo, Lily, Zari, Falstaff, and Oscar. A buff version of the owl for reasons only Duolingo could justify. Blind boxes, sticker packs, keychains, and even an owl mask.
Anyone who has learnt a language through Duolingo is hyperaware of these characters- they’re niche and is what screams Duolingo. So they turned them into plushies to remind them to practice their grammer outside of the screen. Source: Duolingo Store
What Gumtoo Likes: The character-driven range. Most brands struggle to make one mascot work. Duolingo built an entire ensemble and turned each one into something you'd actually want on your desk.
Why the Store Stands Out: The store has a personality. Most tech merch stores have a logo. But Duolingo? It has a voice. And it sounds exactly like the app.
10. Adobe
Where most tech stores design for fans, Adobe designs for practitioners. The transparency grid socks, the Bezier tumbler, and the values sticker set: these are products for people who know what a Bezier curve is and find that genuinely funny on a tumbler.
Since Adobe's community spends hours inside the software, the merch takes the visual language of those tools, the grids, the curves, the icons, and puts them into everyday objects.
The result? Merchandise that functions as an inside joke between Adobe and its most dedicated users.
Adobe created an entire line of products named after simple tools in the application that their users are familiar with. Source: Adobe Store
What Gumtoo Likes: The Bezier tumbler. Taking a concept that every Adobe user knows intimately and turning it into a product name is exactly the kind of detail that makes a community feel seen.
Why the Store Stands Out: Adobe could have built a generic merch store and gotten away with it. But they built something specific. That choice says a lot about how they think about their community.
11. GitHub
GitHub is used by millions of developers across the world daily, a community that is extremely technical and opinionated.
GitHub's merch store perfectly caters to them. ASCII-rendered graphics on hoodies, a Fork-Commit-Merge pen set, Footer socks - these products talk directly to people who live inside the platform day in and day out.
In fact, the collectibles range deserves a mention too. A Copilot plush, a Mona figurine, a book dedicated entirely to the Octocat; these products feel less like merchandise and more like something built for users who genuinely love the brand.
GitHub has a cute co-pilot that their users are aware and they turned them into plushies and plush keychains. Source: GitHub Shop
What Gumtoo Likes: The product specificity. Strip the Octocat off the Fork-Commit-Merge pen set, and it still makes sense to a developer.
Why the Store Stands Out: The depth of the collectibles range. We've seen most tech stores treat collectibles as an afterthought. But GitHub has built an entire category around them.
12. SpaceX
SpaceX's merch store is built around its programs. Every major vehicle has its own product line: Starship, Falcon 9, Dragon, Starlink.

From t-shirts and torches to chrome models and the cutest baby onesies, the products are designed for people who have watched every launch livestream and felt something. But the product that captures the store's spirit best is the mission patch series. SpaceX sells a patch for every Starship test flight, from the first test flight all the way through Flight 10. It's the same tradition NASA astronauts have kept for decades.
Astrophysics nerds maybe more familiar with NASA’s merchandise with every test flight launch- that SpaceX got inspired by and created similar. Source: SpaceX Coasters
What Gumtoo Likes: The mission patch series. Turning each flight into a collectible patch is a simple idea that connects the community directly to the program's history.
Why the Store Stands Out: Unlike other brands, SpaceX didn't build its store around a logo. It built it around a timeline with every flight, every mission, and every vehicle having its own product.
13. Binance
Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. But it doesn't have a public merch store you can browse and check out from.
So why is it on this list? Because you can still get your hands on their merch. But you can't just buy it. You need to earn it.
How? By participating in trading competitions, community programs, ambassador roles, and conferences. Rank high enough in their programs, contribute consistently on Binance Square, or attend a Binance Blockchain Week event, and the merchandise finds you.
Binance Merchandise was only gifted to those who are loyal to their brand by either attending their workshops & tradeshows. Source: X
It's the opposite model to every other store on this list, and it works precisely because of that.
What Gumtoo Likes: The earn-don't-buy model. It reframes merch from a product into a reward, which makes it more meaningful to the person receiving it.
Why the Store Stands Out: The exclusivity. It does more for brand loyalty than any product design decision can.
Here’s What You Should Do Next
A great merch store doesn't happen by accident. The brands on this list are proof. They have one thing in common: they treat their stores with the same intention they bring to their products.
And the result? Merch that people actually want, wear, and will pay for.
So, simply slapping a logo on a hoodie will not cut it anymore.
Before you build anything, ask yourself one question: Would our community buy this even without our name on it? If the answer is yes, you're on the right track.
