Check out the two ways shoppers are encouraged to subscribe to your channel.

Shoppers on Teespring:

Everyone can see your sub-exclusive merch on Teespring. However, once they click on the listing page a shopper must select “Unlock as Twitch Subscriber” to purchase any sub-exclusive merch.
Once the shopper verifies they’re a subscriber to your channel they’ll be shown the “Add to cart” option and can complete the purchase.
If the shopper is not a subscriber they’ll be prompted to become one and redirected to your channel subscription page.

Shoppers on Twitch:

Viewers on your Twitch Channel are able to browse your sub-exclusive products.
When they click ‘Subscribe to buy’ they’ll be asked to verify their subscriber status on your channel.
Once verified they’ll have the option to ‘Buy now’ and complete purchase.
If they’re not subscribed to your channel they’ll be directed to your channel subscription page.
