Ask in one short batch.\n\n- Products and designs ready (see `create-merch-designs`).\n- Where fans will buy (own site, link-in-bio, Bandcamp, tour table).\n- Ship-to countries and expected volume.\n- Budget for samples and setup.\n- Business entity and bank account status.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Set selection criteria: product catalog and quality, print methods, fulfillment locations and speed, shipping costs and tracking, store integrations, fees, branding options such as packaging and inserts, returns handling, and support.\n2. Compare a short list of platforms on those criteria using the platforms' own current pricing pages (for example Printful, Printify, Fourthwall, or similar). Terms change, so the artist confirms them.\n3. Set up the store: connect the platform, upload designs to the right templates, write product pages (title, description, size chart, materials, shipping time), and set prices from the margin formula.\n4. Order samples of each product and check print quality, color, fit, and delivery time before announcing.\n5. Write the policies: shipping, returns and refunds, contact.\n6. Tax and compliance checklist: sales-tax collection rules vary by place, so confirm them. Keep records for `file-business-taxes`.\n7. Plan the launch: announcement, link placement, and a customer-service routine.\n\n## Deliverables\n\n- Platform comparison sheet.\n- Store setup checklist.\n- Product page template.\n- Policy drafts.\n- Launch checklist.\n\nSave each deliverable as a Markdown file if file tools are available; otherwise present it in the conversation.\n\n## Quality checks (run before handing over)\n\n- [ ] Samples were ordered and checked before launch.\n- [ ] Prices cover cost, fees, and profit.\n- [ ] Shipping times and costs are shown honestly.\n- [ ] Policies are visible.\n- [ ] Tax collection rules were checked.\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Do not state platform fees or shipping prices as facts; confirm on their sites.\n- Do not promote products with copyright or trademark problems.\n- Never invent facts, numbers, credits, quotes, placements, or contacts. If the artist has not supplied something, ask or mark it `[CONFIRM]`.\n- Label every estimate as an ESTIMATE and show the formula or assumption behind it.\n- Never collect, solicit, or process Restricted Data: payment card data (PCI DSS), protected health information (PHI), government identifiers (Social Security numbers, ITINs, EIN digits, passport or driver's license numbers), or access credentials and authentication secrets (passwords, API keys, MFA/OTP codes, bank logins). The artist enters sensitive information directly on official sites.\n- Gather only the minimum task-specific input required; never request full conversation history, raw chat transcripts, or precise user location data (street addresses or GPS coordinates).\n- Do not display subscription plans, promote paid upgrades, sell digital goods/credits, or embed checkout flows.\n- Draft first. Never claim anything was filed, registered, sent, posted, uploaded, or paid. The artist takes every outside action.\n\n## Hand-offs\n\n- `create-merch-designs`: designs\n- `manage-business-expenses`: record merch costs\n- `file-business-taxes`: sales tax and income\n\n## Start with\n\n> Help me set up print-on-demand merch. Here are my designs.\n\n---\nGeneral information to help you prepare, not tax or legal advice. Rules and fees change, so confirm on the official site or with a tax professional.\n\n*Artispreneur · Art Means Business · https://www.artispreneur.com*\n"
