Full review
The merchOne terms state that the website and interface are operated by Picanova GmbH, Eupener Straße 67, 50933 Cologne. The imprint gives Registry Court Cologne HRB 58130 and the managing directors Daniel Mühlbauer and Philipp Mühlbauer. German law and the courts of Cologne apply to merchants.
All offers are for commercial users within the meaning of section 14 of the German Civil Code. Sales to the United States and Puerto Rico go through a separate company, Picanova Inc. in Ohio. The home page promotes local production sites in the USA and the EU to avoid customs fees.
What does merchOne print?
The catalogue groups wall decoration (canvas, framed canvas, acrylic, posters, metal prints), home decor (pillows, blankets, rugs, mugs), apparel and pet products. The page claims more than 2.5 million customized products made daily for commercial and private customers.
Example list prices include a canvas wall hanging from EUR 7, a framed poster from EUR 10, and a Bella Canvas 3001 T-shirt from EUR 12.
How do sellers connect stores?
Integrations named on the site are Shopify, Customily, Teeinblue and Order Desk, plus an API. Customily and Teeinblue add product personalisation for gift sellers.
The site also has a page titled merchOne vs Gelato, so it compares itself with Gelato.
What should buyers weigh?
The service is B2B only, so private persons cannot open an account under the terms. Currency display mixes EUR and USD in the catalogue, for example a hoodie from $19 and a canvas from $5.34.
An Etsy connector is not listed on the pages we read.
Known limits
merchOne accepts commercial users only, lists mixed EUR and USD prices, and names no Etsy or WooCommerce connector on the pages we read. The privacy officer address uses the tcgroup.com domain, and the pages we read do not state who owns the group. US sales run through Picanova Inc.
Who merchOne fits
Business sellers of wall decor and home products who work with Shopify. Wall-art-only sellers should also check Printseekers, and sellers wanting more regions Gelato.
