## How to Use This File With an AI Chat

1. Download this file.
2. Upload it into your AI chat tool.
3. Tell the AI your Shopify theme name and the product type you are setting up.
4. Ask the AI to walk you through setup step by step.
5. Ask the AI to check your theme block plan before you publish changes.

Important instruction for the AI:

- Do not guess exact merchant values such as price, maximum size, roll width, DPI policy, fee names, or file types.
- First identify the product type, then ask the merchant what they sell, how they charge, what files they accept, and how production output should be generated.
- Use the Tally admin page names and tab names in this file so the merchant can find each setting.
- Treat this file as a high-level map of Tally plus field-level reference material, not as a replacement for the merchant's own production rules.

Good prompt:

> I am setting up TallyQuoter on my Shopify store. Use this installation.md file as your source of truth. Help me configure a by-size DTF product, tell me what Shopify blocks to add, what native Shopify buttons to hide, and what to test before launch.

## Recommended Shopify Theme Setup

### Required App Blocks

Add these blocks from **Online Store > Themes > Customize**:

| Block name | Where to add it | Required? | Purpose |
|---|---|---:|---|
| `Tally Quoter` | Product page template for by-size/sticker/standard Tally products | Yes for those products | Shows the upload/builder widget and handles Tally add-to-cart behavior |
| `Tally Embed` | App embeds panel | Strongly recommended | Provides storefront-wide support for Tally behavior, cart editing, and scripts |
| `Tally Cart Editor` | Cart page template | Recommended | Lets customers edit Tally uploads, dimensions, quantities, materials, and designs from cart |
| `Gang Sheet Builder` | Product page template used by Gangsheeter products | Yes for Gangsheeter | Shows the full canvas-based Gangsheeter editor |
| `Print Dashboard` | Customer account or dashboard page | Optional | Lets customers view previous orders, saved designs, reorder, or recover files |

### Enable the App Embed

1. Go to **Online Store > Themes > Customize**.
2. Open **App embeds**.
3. Enable **Tally Embed**.
4. Click **Save**.

### Product Page Template Rules

For Tally product pages, keep:

- Product title
- Product images or media
- Product description
- Price display if you want Shopify to show a base price
- Tally app block

For Tally product pages, hide or remove native Shopify elements that conflict with Tally checkout:

- Native Shopify quantity selector, if Tally controls quantity
- Native variant picker, if variants are generated or selected by Tally
- Native Buy buttons / Add to Cart buttons, if Tally is responsible for add-to-cart
- Dynamic checkout buttons, if they bypass the Tally builder
- Duplicate custom upload widgets from other apps

Do not hide the Tally block. Do not hide the product form only if doing so removes the Tally block. If your theme bundles the native buy button with required product form markup, hide the visible button with theme settings or CSS instead of deleting the entire product section.

### Recommended Product Templates

Create separate product templates so each product type has only the blocks it needs:

- `product.tally-by-size` for by-size print products
- `product.tally-sticker` for sticker products
- `product.tally-merch` for merch products
- `product.tally-gangsheeter` for Gangsheeter products
- `product.tally-sticker-sheet` for Sticker Sheet products
- `product.tally-business-card` for Business Card products

Recommended block placement:

- By-size products: add `Tally Quoter`.
- Sticker products: add `Tally Quoter`.
- Merch products: add the merch/Tally product block used by your active Tally theme setup.
- Gangsheeter products: add `Gang Sheet Builder`.

## Recommended Product Names

Use clear customer-facing names. Examples:

- By-size DTF: `Custom DTF Transfers`
- By-size UV DTF: `Custom UV DTF Transfers`
- By-size decals: `Custom Decals`
- Sticker product: `Custom Stickers`
- Clear sticker product: `Clear Custom Stickers`
- Holographic sticker product: `Holographic Stickers`
- Gangsheeter product: `Build a Gang Sheet`
- Merch product: `Custom T-Shirt Builder`
- Hoodie merch product: `Custom Hoodie Builder`

Avoid vague names such as `Test Product`, `Tally Product`, or `Upload Product` on live storefronts.

## General Installation

1. Install Tally from the Shopify App Store.
2. Approve Shopify permissions.
3. Open the Tally app in Shopify admin.
4. Enable **Tally Embed** in the theme editor.
5. Add the correct Tally app block to the correct product template.
6. Add **Tally Cart Editor** to the cart page template.
7. Configure at least one product in Tally.
8. Test upload, pricing, add-to-cart, cart editing, and checkout.

## By-Size Products

Use by-size products when customers upload artwork and Tally prices the job from the uploaded artwork dimensions, customer-entered dimensions, quantity, and square-area rules. This is the normal workflow for DTF transfers, UV DTF transfers, decals, posters, banners, sublimation, and other print products where size drives the quote.

When a merchant asks an AI assistant, "help me set up a by-size item," the AI should not immediately prescribe one exact setup. It should first ask enough questions to choose the correct Tally settings:

- What product is being sold: DTF, UV DTF, banner, poster, decal, transfer, or something else?
- What unit does the shop use: inches, centimeters, or another measurement unit?
- Is pricing based on square inch, square foot, square centimeter, or a simple fixed/unit price?
- What is the base rate and currency?
- What is the maximum printable width or maximum print size?
- Should Tally create production gang sheets automatically after checkout?
- If automatic gang sheets are used, what roll/sheet width and spacing margin should be used?
- Should customers see sizing presets, such as shirt placements?
- Are minimum quantity or minimum order amount rules needed?
- Which file types should this product accept?
- Should low-DPI artwork warn customers or block checkout?
- Should background removal, mockups, halftone, performance mode, or transparency removal be enabled?

### Recommended Use Cases

- DTF transfers
- UV DTF transfers
- Posters
- Banners
- Decals
- Sublimation transfers
- Large format prints

### Shopify Product Setup

There are two paths.

Path A: use Tally's guided setup.

1. In Tally, open **Setup Instructions** or the AI helper if available.
2. Use **Create DTF / by-size product** when you want Tally to open an editable setup form for a starter by-size product.
3. The current starter action is intended for a DTF/by-size product and opens a draft with:
   - 22 inch width
   - print summary enabled
   - auto sizing enabled
   - $5 per square foot starter pricing
4. Review every value before creating the product. Starter values are examples, not universal production rules.
5. After the product is created, finish theme setup from the setup flow: product block, cart block, and app embed.

Path B: use an existing Shopify product.

1. Create or choose a Shopify product.
2. Recommended title examples:
   - `Custom DTF Transfers`
   - `Custom UV DTF Transfers`
   - `Custom Poster Prints`
3. In **Tally App > Item Settings**, open **My Products**.
4. Click **Add product** and select the Shopify product.
5. Tally saves a minimal default by-size configuration for the selected product, then you configure the remaining tabs.

Theme setup for by-size:

1. Open **Online Store > Themes > Customize**.
2. Open the product template used by the by-size product.
3. Add the Tally product app block. Depending on the theme extension/version, the block may appear as `Tally Quoter` or `Tally By Size`.
4. Add the `Tally Cart Editor` block to the cart page template.
5. Enable the Tally app embed in the theme editor's **App embeds** panel.
6. Save the Shopify theme after each theme-editor change.

What to hide on the by-size product template:

- Hide native Shopify Buy buttons or dynamic checkout buttons if they bypass Tally.
- Hide native quantity selectors if Tally controls quantity.
- Hide variant pickers when the product does not need Shopify variants.
- Keep the product title, media, description, production notes, shipping notes, and trust content if they help customers.
- Do not delete the product section if your theme needs it for app blocks; hide only the bypass controls.

### Tally Item Settings

Go to **Tally App > Item Settings**.

The current by-size admin is organized into these tabs:

- **My Products**
- **Pricing**
- **Discounts**
- **Gang Sheet**
- **Multiprint**
- **DPI**
- **Sizing Table**
- **Limits**
- **Fees**
- **Design Settings**
- **Quality**

Use these tab names when guiding a merchant.

### By-Size Admin Tab Reference

**My Products**

- Shows by-size products already configured in Tally.
- Use **Add product** to choose an existing Shopify product and create the Tally by-size settings record.
- Products that are already configured as sticker products should not be reused as normal by-size products.
- Use **Configure** to select a product and jump into the setup tabs.

**Pricing**

- Sets the base area rate shown to the customer.
- The price slider displays the price per square unit using the store's measurement unit.
- Tally stores pricing internally in a normalized square-inch basis, but merchants should enter/view pricing in their selected store unit.
- Ask the merchant what they actually charge before recommending a value.

Good AI question:

> What do you charge for this product, and is that rate per square inch, per square foot, per square centimeter, or another unit?

**Discounts**

- Configures bulk/volume discount tiers.
- Use this when larger quantities or larger jobs should receive a lower effective rate.
- Ask whether the discount should be based on quantity, square area, or a table the shop already uses.

**Gang Sheet**

- This tab is for automatic production gang sheet output from a by-size product after checkout.
- Enable **Create gangsheet** only when Tally should generate a production sheet for orders.
- Set **Gangsheet width** to the real roll/sheet width used in production. The app enforces a maximum width limit.
- Set **Image spacing margin** to the spacing between artwork on the generated sheet.
- Enable **Sheet Mode** when the shop wants fixed-height sheets instead of a continuous roll-style output.
- **Max sheet height** controls fixed sheet height when sheet mode is enabled.
- **Preferred output format** can be PNG or PDF.
- Advanced options can add gang sheet text, customer name, order number, print summary, pickup/shipping label colors, pickup QR code, and a branding image.
- Automatic cutting can add bleed and spot colors for `CutContour` and `PerfCutContour`; enabling automatic cutting forces PDF output because spot-color cut data must be preserved.

Good AI questions:

> Do you want Tally to create production gang sheets for this product, or only collect uploaded artwork and order data?

> What is the actual printable roll width, and how much spacing do you need between images?

**Multiprint**

- Allows a by-size product workflow to include related print products or modes.
- Use this when a shop wants customers to choose among multiple print options in one flow.
- Do not enable this until the merchant has configured the related products.

**DPI**

- Controls artwork quality labels and low-resolution behavior.
- Default/new product values include:
  - minimum DPI: 96
  - poor DPI: 150
  - medium DPI: 250
  - high DPI: 300
- The merchant can edit the wording for quality labels such as terrible, poor, medium, and high.
- **Advanced quality check** adds stricter effective-DPI analysis.
- **Large format mode** adjusts quality expectations for large prints.
- **Enable low DPI warning** shows customers a warning.
- **Block low DPI** prevents checkout below the threshold when enabled.
- **Warning message** is the customer-facing explanation.

Good AI question:

> Should low-resolution files only warn customers, or should Tally block checkout until they upload better art?

**Sizing Table**

- Enables auto sizing presets for by-size products.
- Useful for DTF shirt transfers and placement-based products.
- Default chart examples include garment groups and placements such as full front and left chest.
- Merchants can reset defaults, enable/disable garment groups, edit sizes, delete groups, or add a custom garment type.
- Ask whether customers should manually enter width/height or choose from preset placements.

**Limits**

- Sets product-level maximum print size.
- Sets minimum order quantity.
- Sets minimum order amount.
- Minimum order quantity and minimum order amount are mutually exclusive in the admin UI: setting one can disable/reset the other.
- Product-specific allowed file types can override global Upload settings.
- Product file type toggles include PNG, JPEG, TIFF, SVG, PDF, AI, and PSD.

Good AI questions:

> What is the largest width or print size you can produce for this item?

> Should this product use the global file type rules, or does it need different allowed file types?

**Fees**

- Supports up to 5 optional fees.
- Each fee can be enabled/disabled and can have:
  - fee name
  - amount
  - type
  - emoji
- Fee types include:
  - per item
  - per order
  - per square unit
- Per-item fees can also have volume discount tiers.
- Use fees for rush processing, artwork cleanup, specialty material, setup, white ink, or other shop-specific charges.

**Design Settings**

- Enables optional customer design tools for this by-size product.
- Controls include:
  - performance mode
  - halftone mode
  - mockups
- Mockups let customers open a mockup gallery from uploaded images, select mockups, and download PNG previews. This works for by-size and gang sheet products when enabled.

**Quality**

- Controls transparency handling.
- **Remove Transparency** allows the workflow to remove transparency from uploaded images.
- **Auto Remove Transparency on Upload** automatically applies transparency removal when Remove Transparency is enabled.

### Setup Instructions Page Checklist

The admin setup page checks whether the store has the required Tally storefront pieces:

- **App block enabled on product page**: the Tally product block must be added to the product template.
- **Product pricing configured**: at least one product must have pricing configured so Tally can calculate quotes.
- **Tally By Size Product Block Activated**: the `Tally Cart Editor` block must be added to the cart template for by-size cart editing.
- **Theme embed enabled**: the Tally app embed must be enabled on the published theme so storefront scripts load.
- Optional checks include Gang Sheet product block, Merch customizer block, and Sticker product configured.

The setup page may offer actions such as:

- **Create product template**: creates `product.tally.json` in the active theme with the Tally product block, then opens the theme editor for review.
- **Activate cart block**: opens the Shopify theme editor with the `Tally Cart Editor` block ready to add; Shopify still must be saved.
- **Complete theme setup**: creates or updates the Tally product template, adds the cart block directly when Shopify permits it, and enables the Tally app embed.
- **Create starter products and complete setup**: creates active by-size and gang sheet starter products, builds clean templates, activates the cart block, and enables the app embed.
- **Create DTF / by-size product**: opens an editable product setup form with by-size starter values.
- **Create UV DTF product**: opens an editable UV DTF setup form with shop-based measurement units, pricing, DPI, and generated description.

If Shopify blocks a theme automation step, tell the merchant to open the relevant setup step, save inside Shopify's theme editor, then return to Tally and refresh status.

### By-Size Customer Flow

The customer should be able to:

1. Upload one or more files.
2. Enter or adjust dimensions.

### What to Hide by Product Type

By-size:

- Hide native Buy button.
- Hide dynamic checkout.
- Hide native quantity selector if Tally controls quantity.
- Hide native variant picker if not needed.

Sticker:

- Hide native Buy button.
- Hide dynamic checkout.
- Hide native quantity selector if Tally controls sticker quantity.
- Hide native variant picker if Tally controls size/material.

Merch:

- Hide native Buy button.
- Hide dynamic checkout.

Gangsheeter:

- Hide native Buy button.
- Hide dynamic checkout.

- Hide native variant picker.
- Keep the Gang Sheet Builder block visible and high on the page.

Cart:

- Add `Tally Cart Editor`.
- Keep Shopify checkout button visible after Tally metadata loads.
- Avoid cart apps that strip line item properties.

App embeds:

- Enable `Tally Embed`.
- Save the theme.

### Store Header / Top Bar Considerations

If your theme has a header announcement bar, free shipping bar, or operation bar:

- Avoid duplicate free shipping bars if Tally's bar is enabled.
- Make sure the bar does not cover Tally modals on mobile.
- Make sure sticky headers do not hide Tally upload controls.
- Test product pages at mobile widths.
- Test the cart page with the Tally Cart Editor.

If a top header overlaps a Tally modal:

1. Check whether the header is sticky/fixed.
2. Temporarily disable the sticky header.
3. Test again.
4. Adjust theme z-index or header behavior if needed.

## Auto Pickup Notifier and Pickup QR Setup

Go to **Tally App > Settings > Shipping**.

1. Select the local pickup delivery mode.
2. Enter the pickup city and confirm the location details customers should see.
3. Set the order cutoff time.
4. Set the expected fulfillment time.
5. Select the store's correct time zone.
6. Enter the pickup hours.
7. Save the shipping settings.
8. Open each applicable By Size or Gang Sheet product and enable the pickup QR code in its output settings.
9. Choose a high-contrast pickup/shipping text color.
10. Place a pickup test order.
11. Open the order in Tally Orders and click **Mark ready for pickup**.
12. Scan the generated pickup QR code and confirm the ready status, order identity, location, and timing are correct.
13. Confirm the scan is recorded in the supported order/analytics workflow.

Use the cutoff, fulfillment time, time zone, and pickup hours together. A correct cutoff in the wrong time zone can show customers the wrong promise.

## Get Help Button Setup

The Get Help button lets customers send your team a secure invitation to review and edit the Tally item they are currently building.

Configure:

- **Enable Get Help**: shows the action in the editor's top operations bar.

## July 2026 Product and Settings Reference

Use this section for the current Tally product families and production workflows.

### Product Type Decision

| What the merchant sells | Recommended Tally workflow | Primary pricing options |
|---|---|---|
| DTF, UV DTF, or sublimation transfers sold by exact artwork size | By Size Item | Per square inch, square foot, square centimeter, square millimeter, or supported fixed pricing |
| DTF, UV DTF, or sublimation sold as a customer-built sheet | Gangsheet Builder | Fixed sheet/variant price, area price, sheet increments, quantity and print-area discounts |
| Decorated garments and merchandise | Merch Product | Blank cost, markup, decoration fees, side fees, color/screen fees, size fees, setup fees, minimums |
| Individual die-cut or specialty stickers | Sticker Builder | Area or base price, copies, material increase, minimums, fees, quantity and print-area discounts |
| Customer-composed sticker sheets | Sticker Sheet Builder | Sheet price, area rules, material pricing, copies, backgrounds, minimums, fees |
| Front/back printed business cards | Business Card product | Pack quantities, stock and finish upgrades, side rules, templates, design and rush fees |
| Supported products fulfilled by a preferred partner | Tally Drop | Current partner cost plus merchant-controlled retail margin |

Do not reuse a product template when its app blocks, native Shopify buttons, quantity controls, or variant controls do not match the new product type.

## Sticker Sheet Setup

Sticker Sheets are separate from individual stickers. Customers compose a finished sheet containing repeated stickers, gallery art, emojis, backgrounds, and decoration-only artwork.

### Shopify Setup

1. Create a dedicated Shopify product, such as `Custom Sticker Sheets`.
2. Assign a dedicated product template.
3. Add the Tally sticker product block.
4. Hide native Shopify quantity, variant, Buy, and dynamic checkout controls when Tally owns those choices.
5. Keep material, finish, turnaround, and artwork requirements visible.

### Tally Settings

Configure:

- Finished sheet width and height
- Background and sheet colors
- Sticker and decoration-only artwork behavior
- Gallery and emoji availability
- Repeated copies and placement controls
- Material selection
- Base or area pricing
- Quantity and print-area discounts
- Minimum quantity and minimum order value

- Change the sheet background.
- Switch materials.
- Confirm pricing and discounts.
- Verify inner and outer cut paths.
- Verify the final print-ready file and Shopify order data.

## Materials Admin Menu

Use the Materials Admin Menu to control the exact materials your store can sell.

For every material:

- Enable or disable it.
- Set it as the default when appropriate.
- Choose the storefront material name and effect type.
- Upload or select the material thumbnail.
- Enable white ink printing.
- Enable spot gloss.
- Choose pricing mode.
- Set a base price or percentage increase for specialty material.

Only enable capabilities and output sizes that match the shop's real production equipment.

## Business Card Setup

Use a Business Card product when the customer should submit or personalize a standard front/back printed product.

### Configure

- Finished width and height
- Portrait or landscape orientation
- Bleed and safe area
- Front only or front-and-back requirement
- Customer upload or store template workflow
- Editable text, logo, and image areas
- Pack quantities
- Stock choices
- Coating and finish choices
- Volume tiers
- Design, proof, setup, rush, or finishing fees
- Customer proof/approval step

### QA

1. Test every pack quantity.
2. Test front-only and two-sided rules.
3. Confirm bleed and safe-area guidance.
4. Test each stock and finish upgrade.
5. Confirm the final price and fee breakdown.
6. Verify front and back production files.

## Pricing and Templates AI

The Pricing & Templates AI helps merchants configure or change product settings through prompts.

It can help with:

- Base and area pricing
- Measurement units
- Material activation
- Specialty material percentage increases
- Quantity discounts
- Print-area discounts
- Templates and default templates
- Optional fees
- Minimum quantity and order value
- Current settings changes

The agent keeps context from current settings and earlier prompts so follow-up instructions can change the active setup without restating every value.

Example:

> Set my sticker base price to $0.08 per square inch, activate Holographic and Glitter, add a 20% specialty material increase, preserve my current quantity discounts, and add a $5 rush fee.

Always review and test AI-proposed values before publishing. The merchant is responsible for confirming margin, output sizes, production capabilities, fees, minimums, and discount behavior.

## Quantity and Print Area Discounts

Tally can support multiple discount strategies.

### Volume / Quantity Discounts

Use quantity or cart-based thresholds to reward larger orders.

### Print Area Discounts

Use total printable area thresholds when production efficiency improves as the customer orders more area.

### Combining Both

Merchants can enable either strategy or combine both.

Test:

1. A cart below every threshold.
2. A cart at each quantity threshold.
3. A cart at each print-area threshold.
4. A cart that qualifies for both.
5. Specialty materials, fees, minimums, and discount stacking.

Confirm the final effective price still protects margin.

## Production Dashboard and Reordering

### Print Dashboard

The Print Dashboard can provide:

- Previous Tally orders
- Saved artwork and thumbnails
- Named folders
- Customer order notes
- Previous Gangsheets
- Supported production files
- Fast reorder actions
- Image recovery where available

### Fast Reordering

Test reordering for every enabled product type:

- By Size Items
- Gangsheets
- Individual Stickers
- Sticker Sheets
- Supported Merch configurations

The restored order should preserve the expected artwork, sizes, quantities, materials, sides, pricing inputs, and customer notes.

### Order Analytics

Use the analytics dashboard to review Tally order and production activity. After changing prices or discounts, compare expected storefront behavior with new test orders.

## Reprocessing Paid Orders

Reprocessing lets production correct a file without asking the customer to place the entire order again.

Use it when:

- One image is wrong.
- The customer supplied a replacement.
- Quantity needs to change.
- Dimensions need correction.
- Low-quality artwork has been improved.
- An image should be removed.
- A missing image must be added.

Workflow:

1. Open the Tally order.
2. Choose Reprocess.
3. Review every image, original quantity, width, and height.
4. Download originals when needed.
5. Replace, remove, or add artwork.
6. Update quantity or size.
7. Review sheet settings, margins, material, output size, sticker controls, and cut settings.
8. Reprocess the file.
9. Compare the replacement output with the paid order before printing.

## Production Helpers

### AI Upscale

Improve low-resolution artwork before printing. Compare against the original and verify DPI at final size.

### Vectoring

Convert suitable raster artwork into scalable paths. Inspect small text, sharp corners, color regions, and cut readiness.

### Halftoning

Prepare dot-based artwork for supported print processes. Test resolution, angle, dot behavior, and output at production size.

### Mockup Generator

Create customer and production placement previews.

### Replace / Remove Color

Swap or remove selected artwork colors. Inspect anti-aliased edges and fuzziness.

### Auto Sizer

Apply shop-defined dimensions by garment, placement, gender, or product category.

### Name / Number Generator

Paste team lists, choose custom fonts, preview each entry, and generate personalized artwork in batches.

### Trans Clean

Remove unwanted semi-transparent edge pixels that can create printed halos.

### Custom Fonts and Gallery

- Upload supported custom fonts.
- Use clear names and test every font in the live builder.
- Create gallery folders.
- Add thumbnails and searchable names.
- Verify the storefront gallery and one-click artwork insertion.

Custom font QA:

1. Confirm you have the right to use the font.
2. Upload TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2.
3. Assign a recognizable name and category.
4. Review the preview.
5. Test letters, numbers, punctuation, line breaks, scaling, and rotation in the Gang Sheet Builder.
6. Inspect final output and replace any font with missing glyphs or a canvas/output mismatch.

### QR Code Scanning

Use supported production QR data for order identification, print-floor handoff, pickup, or related production workflows.

### Free Shipping Settings

Configure the threshold and customer-facing progress bar. Avoid duplicating another theme or app shipping bar.

## Tally Drop Setup

Tally Drop lets merchants sell supported print products through Shopify and route eligible paid print-ready orders to a preferred Tally Drop Print Partner.

### Setup

1. Open Tally Drop in the Tally admin.
2. Review and accept the current terms.
3. Review supported products, current partner costs, artwork requirements, fulfillment rules, cutoff times, shipping behavior, and merchant responsibilities.
4. Choose the supported products you want to sell and create or connect their Shopify products.
5. Set retail pricing above the partner cost and verify the expected margin.
6. Configure customer discounts, minimums, material upgrades, and supported optional fees without pricing below your intended margin.
7. Create a dedicated Shopify product template for each Tally Drop product type.
8. Add the matching Tally block, enable Tally Embed, and hide native controls that could bypass artwork, sizing, or pricing.
9. Configure product materials, maximum output size, resolution rules, quantities, discounts, fees, shipping/pickup behavior, and production output.
10. Publish the product only after its storefront, cart, and production tests pass.

### Tally Drop Installation Test

1. Open the published product on desktop and mobile.
2. Complete the full customer configuration with production-ready artwork.
3. Confirm retail pricing and every selected option before adding to cart.
4. Open the item with Tally Cart Editor and verify the saved artwork and settings.
5. Complete a paid test order using the intended delivery method.
6. Confirm the order appears in Tally with complete line-item data and production files.
7. Confirm it is eligible for the intended Tally Drop Print Partner and routed correctly.
8. Verify partner cost, merchant selling price, discount impact, shipping, tax behavior, and expected margin.
9. Inspect the production file for size, resolution, cut names, white ink/spot gloss channels, nesting, and artwork readiness as applicable.
10. Confirm tracking, status, reprocessing, and support responsibilities are understood before accepting live orders.

### Important Checks

- Partner cost is the pricing floor.
- Merchant discounts must not erase expected margin.
- Same-day fulfillment only applies to eligible print-ready orders submitted before the current cutoff.
- The merchant controls storefront branding, product pages, and checkout.
