What can I sell on HUG?

3 min. readlast update: 08.19.2024

At the moment, you can sell the following types of products on HUG. More product categories will be available in the coming months, but if you have a strong demand for a specific product, kindly email us at hello@thehug.xyz and we will do our best to prioritize your request!

1. Print-on-Demand Art Prints and Merchandise

One of the biggest challenges of offering physical items is inventory risk. Through HUG, you can sell the following print-on-demand items that are only produced upon a customer order:

  • Framed and unframed fine art prints
  • Spiral notebooks
  • Hardcover journals
  • Ceramic mugs 

How it works:

  • Upload your artwork
  • Decide what options to offer (e.g. size, frame type)
  • Set your pricing

... and HUG does the rest in terms of printing, shipping, and fulfillment! We work with a network of international third-party manufacturers to make sure that we can get your work in the hands of anyone all around the world.

2. Physical Products (ship-it-yourself) - currently in beta, request access here.

Ship, fulfill, and sell any physical product you have. The sky's the limit, but you can sell anything from original paintings to merchandise and more.

How it works:

  • Upload a photo of the product you would like to sell
  • Set your pricing
  • Once your product is sold, download the prepaid shipping label through HUG, affix it to your product, and drop it off at your local post office!

3. Digital Downloads

Digital downloads allow you to sell digital files such as illustrations, design elements, tools, guidebooks, or anything that you can think of in an instant!

How it works:

  • Upload your digital file
  • Set your pricing

... and HUG manages payment processing and fulfillment! Customers will be able to download the files immediately after purchase.

4. Onchain Collectibles

Onchain collectibles leverage blockchain technology to verify ownership and authenticity of any digital media. You can make any digital creation collectible, from an artwork to a piece of writing to a music composition.

How it works:

  • Upload the media you would like to tokenize onchain
  • Provide additional information around how you would like your work to be collected, e.g. just once as a 1/1 or unlimited times as an open edition
  • Set your pricing

... and HUG takes care of the rest from the deployment of the smart contract on Base (a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum) as well as delivery of the token to the buyer. You retain ownership and can set royalty percentages for future resales.

Coming Soon

More products will be available for you to sell on HUG very soon! Got a special request? Email us at hello@thehug.xyz for us to take a note of it.
