What SwagUp is
SwagUp is a web-based platform for creating and fulfilling branded merchandise and swag kits for employees, customers, and events. Its services cover product sourcing, custom design, assembly, warehousing, and shipping. Recipients can use branded redeem pages to submit details and choose items, or receive products directly from inventory through auto-ship pages. SwagUp Shops provide branded self-serve storefronts for teams, customers, and events, with payment by card, points, or shop credit. Native HRIS integrations can automate swag for onboarding, anniversaries, birthdays, and custom milestones; Zapier connects the platform to 3,000+ apps. Automations can require manual approval, and users can limit the data fields exchanged between platforms. Recipients do not need a SwagUp account for direct sends or redeem links. The Basic plan is free and includes platform access, a dedicated swag expert, unlimited mockups, free assembly, 1x Rewards, and Redeem + Zapier. Paid plans include Silver at $99 a month and Gold at $499 a month, both on annual plans paid monthly.
