What PrintMerch does

PrintMerch lets Muse design custom printed merchandise: pick a product, upload artwork, preview mockups, and get a quote. You review the design and pay through Stripe. Only then is the order sent to Printify for printing and white-label shipping.

Demo mode is a stub. It stores a draft locally and never contacts Printify or Stripe.

What we collect

• Product selection, artwork URL, mockup URLs, quantity, and the quoted price.
• Recipient name, email, phone, and shipping address. In test and live mode those details are sent to Printify only after you pay.
• Stripe checkout status. Full card numbers are not stored here.
• Your API key identifier, timestamps, and standard web logs (IP, user agent, request path) from the host/CDN.
• We do not sell personal information or run advertising pixels.

What we do with it

Demo drafts stay in a SQLite file on the gateway process. test and live drafts, checkout sessions, and fulfillment claims are stored in the PrintMerch fulfillment database for that mode. The gateway does not import the fulfillment app; it calls it over HTTP.

After Stripe reports payment_status paid, Telep IO LLC submits the order to Printify. Telep is the merchant of record. Printify prints and ships the goods. Printify is not asked to email the recipient a shipping notice.

Retention

Payment-adjacent rows are durable: drafts, checkout sessions, and claims live in the fulfillment database, separated by APP_MODE. Demo gateway drafts live in SQLite, not an in-memory map. Do not upload artwork you are not allowed to print.

Keys

Bearer API keys authenticate agents. Treat them as secrets. Telep IO can revoke a key by removing it from the gateway configuration.
