Feedback wanted: POD merch-as-a-service for small hospitality/sports clubs (Europe)

Hello, I’m based in Europe and building a small business around this: helping restaurants, bars, and sports clubs offer branded merch to their customers/members without touching inventory or fulfilment.

The model:

**•**	Fourthwall-powered store, embedded via a simple “Shop” button on their existing site (no new platform for them to manage)  
**•**	European print partners only, to keep shipping/duties low and delivery fast  
**•**	QR codes in-venue + a bit of social promotion to drive traffic to the store  
**•**	I handle design (working with their logo/branding, not just slapping a name on a mug)  
**•**	Revenue split with the venue — still figuring out the right number  
**•**	Target: small places that clearly have loyal customers/members but no merch offering today

Would love advice on:

**•**	Pricing/split structures that actually land with small business owners  
**•**	Whether a free Fourthwall solution is the right platform long-term vs alternatives  
**•**	How you’d pitch this cold vs warm (I’ve had luck with warm intros so far)  
**•**	Anything you’d flag as a red flag in this model

Thanks
