Partners
Partner with FunkSquish
We're building a cheerful, safety-minded squishy brand — and we're looking for great makers, suppliers and collaborators to build it with.
Who we work with
Six ways to work together
Manufacturers
Factories and makers who produce squishies, slushie toys, jelly or crunchy textures, or collectibles.
What we look for
- Consistent quality and documented fillings
- Third-party testing and a CPC
- Sample costs, MOQs and lead times
- Straight answers on water beads and recalls
Wholesale suppliers
Wholesalers and trading companies offering ready-made squishies and collectibles.
What we look for
- Authorized, original products
- SKU pricing, MOQs and mixed cases
- Sample costs and U.S. shipping times
- Permission to sell on our site and TikTok
Dropshipping & fulfillment
Partners who can ship orders to U.S. customers on our behalf, or warehouse and pack for us.
What we look for
- Works with a custom (non-Shopify) store
- Inventory syncing and tracking
- Blind shipping
- Clear fees, returns and refunds
Brands & licensing
Toy and character brands interested in collaborations, licensing or co-branded drops.
What we look for
- Brand fit with FunkSquish
- Collaboration ideas
- Rights you hold
- Timing
Independent designers
Artists and designers with original squishy or character designs.
What we look for
- Original work you own
- A portfolio link
- The kind of collab you want
Future resellers & distributors
Shops and distributors who'd like to carry FunkSquish later. We don't have a wholesale program yet, so this registers your interest.
What we look for
- Where you sell today
- The region you'd cover
- No commitment on either side
What matters to us
How we partner
Safety first
Squishies are loved by kids. We ask about fillings, water beads, recalls, lab testing and Children's Product Certificates up front.
Original & authorized
Only original designs or products you're authorized to sell. No knock-offs of other brands.
Honest terms
Clear pricing tiers, MOQs, lead times and shipping estimates — and we'll be just as clear back.
Small & personal
We're a new, independent shop based in Kentucky. You'll talk to the person who runs it.

Tell us about your business
Most questions are optional — share what you can. Submitting an application doesn't mean it's approved.

For now, email us directly
Our online application isn't switched on yet. You're welcome to email us — please include your business name, website or catalog link, country, the kind of partnership, and a few product examples. No attachments or samples yet, please.
Each button opens an email to travis@funksquish.com with the right subject line.
Privacy notice for applicants
- We use your answers only to review your application and reply to you. We don't sell them or add you to any marketing list.
- We treat prices, terms and safety answers you share as confidential: they're never shown on our website, and we share them only with our professional advisers or when the law requires it.
- Applications are stored privately by our website host (Netlify) and are visible only to FunkSquish's owner after signing in. A person reviews every application — nothing is approved automatically.
- We get an email that a new application arrived (via our email provider, Brevo) with its reference, business name and country — not your contact details.
- To prevent spam we make scrambled codes from your IP address and email address. We never store your IP address itself (your email address is stored with your application so we can reply). The rate-limit codes are deleted by a daily automatic cleanup once they're 2 days old; one IP code is kept with your application and deleted with it.
- Applications are deleted automatically: declined ones 12 months after the last activity, others (including future reseller interest) after 24 months. If we work together, we keep yours while the partnership is active.
- Want yours deleted sooner? Email travis@funksquish.com from the address you applied with and we'll delete it within 30 days — unless the law requires us to keep it or it's part of an active legal dispute, in which case we'll tell you why. Details are in our privacy policy.
Good to know
Partner FAQ
Do you charge an application fee?
No. We never charge fees to apply or to be considered, and we'll never ask for payment by DM.
Should I send samples?
Please don't send anything until we ask. We'll request samples, with an address, if we'd like to move forward.
Can I attach a catalog or price list?
The form doesn't take files on purpose. Type a few SKU prices into the form and share a link to your catalog; we'll ask for a full price list privately if it's a fit.
Are you taking reseller accounts?
No — we don't have a wholesale program yet. Shops and distributors can register future interest, and we'll email if one opens. Registering isn't an account, an order or a price quote.
Where would you sell my products?
Only where you allow it. The form asks which channels you'd authorize — our website, TikTok Shop, TikTok LIVE and others — and nothing is agreed until we both sign.
