Built for operators

Designed so you never take product risk

Drop Engine is pre-order only. Members authorize payment at checkout; they are only charged if the drop reaches its goal across participating gyms.

  • Zero inventory

    You never buy, store, or ship product. The brand fulfills if the drop unlocks.

  • Zero upfront cost

    No minimums, no wholesale buy-in. Promote when a drop fits your gym.

  • Secure checkout

    Members pay through Stripe. Holds release automatically if the drop does not hit MOQ.

  • Transparent commission

    See your per-unit rate, window, and earnings in your dashboard before you share.

Commission rates and payout timing vary by drop and follow Drop Engine partner terms. Illustrative examples on this page are not guarantees.

Why gyms use Drop Engine

A revenue line that fits how you already run your academy

  • ✓Global drops: earn per-unit commission when members pre-order through your tracked link
  • ✓Co-brand: your gym and a partner brand on the same piece — design approved by both sides
  • ✓White-label: only your gym brand on the product; you decide the design
  • ✓Each model supports member pre-orders or wholesale buyout — fees and MOQ shown before you commit

Co-brand vs white-label

Two ways to put your academy on custom gear

Co-brand is a partnership — both brands on the rashguard and both approve the design. White-label is yours alone — only your gym brand, design you control, with different fees for pre-order vs wholesale.

Co-brand

Co-brand drops

Both brands on the gear. Both approve the design.

You and a partner brand share the product — both logos on the rashguard (or gi, tee, etc.). You align on the design together, then choose member pre-orders or a wholesale buyout.

  • ✓Both your academy and the partner brand appear on the product — not a generic blank
  • ✓Design is agreed by both sides before production starts
  • ✓Pre-order: members order through your link; you earn commission if MOQ hits
  • ✓Wholesale: buy MOQ at wholesale and retail at your gym — no partner logo confusion because both brands are on the label
White-label

White-label drops

Your brand only. Your design.

The product and drop page show your academy alone — no partner brand on the rashguard. You decide the design. How you pay depends on pre-order vs wholesale.

  • ✓Only your gym brand on the product and member-facing drop page
  • ✓You control the design; Drop Engine handles pre-orders, checkout, and fulfillment rules
  • ✓Pre-order: pay a design fee upfront — covers artwork if the drop does not hit MOQ
  • ✓Wholesale: buy MOQ at wholesale with no separate design fee

Global brand drops (promote a partner's existing catalog for commission) are also in your dashboard. Co-brand and white-label are for custom gear that carries your academy's identity.

How it works

From live drop to commission in three steps.

  1. A drop goes live

    Partner brands publish limited drops. Your dashboard shows commission rate, product details, and the pre-order window — before you promote anything.

  2. Share your gym link

    Every academy gets a unique tracked link. Mention it after class, drop it in your member chat, or pin it on social. Orders are attributed to your gym automatically.

  3. Earn on every pre-order

    Members choose sizes and check out on Stripe. You earn per unit on orders through your link. If the drop does not hit its goal, their cards are never charged.

Your dashboard at a glance

Track live drops, copy your share link, and watch commission add up — all in one place.

“We mentioned the drop once after noon class. Orders came in the same day. Nothing sitting in our storage room — that is the part I care about.”

“The commission is clear before we share anything. Members already trust the brands — Drop Engine just gives us a clean way to participate.”

Sarah K.

Owner · MMA & striking gym

“If the drop does not fill, nobody gets stuck with charges. That made it an easy yes for our membership.”

Questions gym owners ask

Straight answers — no jargon.

  • No. Drops are pre-order only. You never stock product. Members order through your link; the brand handles production and fulfillment if the drop reaches its minimum.
