HTTPS is live. Commerce is not live yet. This page shows what has been done without account access and what still needs owner login/payment/sample approval.

Commerce Next 20 Status

#	Step	Status	Result / blocker
1	Unlock Shopify storefront	Blocked	Do after products/payment/shipping are verified. Public Shopify still redirects to `/password`; store should not be unlocked while checkout/product fulfillment is unverified.
2	Confirm Shopify Payments	Blocked	Requires owner login, payout/bank/business/tax details. Do not enter those in chat.
3	Confirm Printify → Shopify connection	Blocked	Chrome Printify is at login/verification failure. Existing Shopify links suggest prior products exist, but live connection cannot be verified now.
4	Create Drop 1 products in Printify	Prepared locally	First-gen assets, copy, prices, and Printify creation queue are ready; actual product creation requires Printify login/API + blueprint/provider/variant choices.
5	Use First Gen line first	Done locally	Home/first-gen positioning already leads with WHO WATCHES / QUIS / POWER NEEDS A WITNESS; CSV/package now follows that line.
6	Treat oath as Drop 2	Done locally	Drop architecture and home copy keep WE ARE THE WATCHERS / WE HOLD THE LINE as answer/evolution.
7	Publish products to Shopify from Printify	Blocked	Requires Printify account access and final product creator choices.
8	Rename Shopify handles	Prepared locally	`store/first-gen-shopify-handle-plan.json` created with desired handles/redirects.
9	Add final product copy	Done locally	`products/first-gen-product-detail-copy.json` and `store/shopify-products-import-first-gen-ready.csv` include titles, descriptions, care, materials, fulfillment caveats.
10	Set pricing/margins	Prepared locally	Target prices in CSV: tees $34, hoodie $72, desk mat $42, sticker/patch $14, cap $32. True margin requires Printify base costs.
11	Set shipping profiles/rates	Blocked	Requires Shopify/Printify account access and final provider/blank choices.
12	Add support/privacy/returns/shipping links	Prepared locally	Static pages exist and `store/shopify-footer-navigation-plan.json` lists footer URLs. Shopify footer update needs admin login.
13	Update CUSTOS static buy buttons	Partially done	Existing active Shopify links are staged but locked. First-gen future links are prepared; do not show Buy Now until public checkout passes.
14	Run test checkout	Blocked	Requires unlocked storefront/payment/test mode and explicit action-time approval before any purchase.
15	Verify customer emails	Blocked	Requires test checkout/order/admin access.
16	Order physical samples	Blocked	Requires payment/address/order approval. Need tee, hoodie, hat, desk mat minimum.
17	Do sample QA	Prepared locally	Checklist exists; no samples ordered/received yet.
18	Replace mockup-only images	Blocked	Provider mockups/sample photos unavailable until products/samples exist. PNG previews are generated but not sample-approved.
19	Connect email capture	Prepared locally	Plan and 3-email sequence exist; actual provider connection needs account choice/login and privacy update.
20	Soft launch	Prepared locally	Can only soft launch waitlist/status now; sales launch waits for checkout + sample QA.
