Promotional Merchandise - Web Store Product Setup and Launch

Confirm products, store structure, and access rules with the client. Document the agreed range before setup begins.

Receive approved vector files, PMS colour references, and brand guidelines before any product setup begins.

Place sample orders with suppliers and capture client proof approvals in writing before committing to stock.

Create product records with costs, sell prices, artwork briefs, images, and all required options.

Set up branding, delivery options, approval workflows, payment method, and notification settings.

Raise initial purchase orders for held stock, or confirm supplier drop-shipment lead times and update listings.

Place test orders, confirm the full fulfilment workflow, and obtain written client sign-off before launch.

Make the store live, notify the client's team, and process first orders - confirming fulfilment and order confirmations.

Product setup is rushed and stores go live with missing size options, incorrect pricing, or no approval workflow - forcing customers to call the distributor for every order.

Artwork is not collected and confirmed before product setup begins, leading to rework when the client provides revised files mid-build.

No test orders are placed before launch, so pricing errors and fulfilment gaps only emerge when real customers place the first orders.
