+- **Printful as the producer/fulfillment** (quality + creative control). **CORRECTION:** Printful has
+  **no first-party storefront available to us** — its "Quick Stores" is US-seller/US-buyer only (and
+  no custom domain), so it never appears on the store-connect page. A storefront *layer* is required.
+  Chosen: **Big Cartel** (free plan = 5 products, custom domain, artist/independent positioning —
+  the exact lineup size) integrated via Printful's connect flow; **Square Online's** free plan is the
+  fallback. One store only, linked prominently on llamacasty.com and in the app's About pop-up
+  ("so it's always present").
 - **Small lineup: 3–5 items** to start (t-shirt, mug, sticker set — the llama logo is the obvious
   draw). Assets live in `llamacasty.web/assets/img/` (icon-512.png, logo.webp, gramps-480.webp).
