What does Merchloop do for HR and People Ops teams?

Merchloop runs employee swag as one program: new hire kits, a branded swag store, recognition gifts and uniforms. Every item is made after an employee picks it, so there is no inventory to buy, store or count. Setup is free, there are no minimums, and most stores are live in about a week.

FAQ

Questions HR and People Ops teams ask us

How do new hires get their swag before day one?

You send them an e-gift card link, usually in the offer letter or the first day email. They choose their own sizes and styles and enter their own shipping address, so the kit goes to their home rather than your office.

Most onboarding kits ship within two to three weeks, and faster once your products are already set up on the store.

Is Merchloop cheaper than ordering swag in bulk?

Usually, once you count what goes unused. A bulk order is paid for upfront, including the sizes nobody claims. With Merchloop there is no upfront spend and no minimum, and you pay only for the items people actually order. Use the calculator above to run your own numbers.

What if someone never redeems their gift card?

You set a deadline. Anyone who has not chosen by then is sent a preselected gift automatically, so no one on the list ends up with nothing. You can see who has and has not redeemed while the window is still open.

Can employees buy their own items too?

Yes. The same store can run company-paid gift cards and employee-paid purchases side by side, and you can set a discount on core items so your team pays less than list.

Can different programs be billed separately?

Yes. Onboarding, recognition, bulk and employee purchases can each be invoiced on their own, so the cost lands on the right budget line.

Do you handle uniforms and safety gear, not just soft goods?

Yes. Uniforms by job type, hi-vis and workwear, headwear, drinkware and tech are all in the same catalog. Managers can order in bulk for their crews with bulk pricing built into the store, and there are no minimums either way.

What does it cost to set up the store?

Nothing. There are no setup fees, store fees, minimums or annual spend requirements. You pay for what your team orders. Full detail is on the pricing page.
