Staged counts come from saved provider receipts, not a fresh Printful stock check. Staging does not approve products or enable orders. The dedicated database has six created application tables and verified schema identity; temporary setup access is closed. Database identity is checked separately from customer checkout and product approval. A Stripe account check does not prove deployed payment or webhook readiness.

These comparison drafts need review of the garment, artwork scale, color and placement before approval.

BORROW THE PATTERN. OWN THE OPERATION.

A separate Scissors & Scotch backend.

  • Dedicated app, catalog and order boundary
  • Dedicated operator token and order history
  • Server rejects every other storefront brand
  • Dedicated Printful connection verified; six S&S database tables created in Production; temporary setup access closed; Stripe account API-verified; hosted validation, webhooks and product approval pending

Dear Dottie provides the local quote, order and outbox pattern. Its products, credentials and orders are not part of this shop.

WHAT INVENTORY MEANS HERE

No invented warehouse count.

Print on demand availability is tracked by garment, color, size, print technique and destination. Each mapped variant needs a current provider stock and cost check before purchase.

Refresh availability on a schedule and recheck before payment. Put unavailable variants on hold. Never swap a customer's size or color automatically.

FOLLOW-THROUGH

Every exception needs an owner.

Payment succeeded, fulfillment failed

Hold the paid order, alert operations, retry only with the same provider reference.

Duplicate or late event

Record the event once, enforce valid state transitions, reconcile with the provider.

Color or size unavailable

Pause the affected item. Offer an approved alternative or refund with customer consent.

Multiple packages

Track each shipment against its line items. Keep the order partial until all items ship.
