Merch is available when the current storefront is configured.
When the store is down, the merch page should still explain what the route is for and where visitors should go next.
Store access, support context, and what to do if you need help
Merch is another way to keep Pondy moving
Merch supports the broader Pondy project and gives supporters another route beyond tickets, direct support, or ad placements. It is part identity signal, part support path, part proof that the project can occupy the real world.
Browse the current store
Use the merch destination to see what Pondy is currently offering.
Support the project
Merch gives supporters another route besides direct donations, tickets, or ad systems.
Keep the system visible
Use transparency and the goals page to understand how merch fits into the bigger Pondy ecosystem.
What merch does and does not replace
Supporters who want something tangible back while helping the project.
Ticket entries, creator voting, or direct-support routes. Those still serve different roles inside Pondy.
Use the support form so the question stays attached to a request ID and can be tracked later.
Merch, support, or a different path
Open the merch destination

Ask Pondy about merchDirect support and tickets
If merch is not the right fit, you can still support Pondy through tickets, direct support, or other participation paths.
Ask a question
Use support if you need help with an order issue, a store question, or where merch fits into Pondy’s broader mission.
The fastest way to understand the merch route before you click away
No. It is a support path that sends people to the current configured store destination.
Use the support form so the issue becomes a tracked request instead of a loose message.
Merch helps supporters back the project while keeping direct donations, tickets, ads, and community systems separate.
This page should still tell visitors what merch is for, where to ask questions, and what route to use instead while the storefront is paused.
