Local printer first
Start with a Dunwich / Minjerribah shirt printer where practical, then use supplier catalogues as reference or overflow rather than surrendering the customer relationship.

Deployment Gear
Purple P4A gear is being tested carefully before any public checkout goes live. The aim is cost plus postage, with the buyer choosing the support amount per item.
Working model
Storefront first, but not rushed.
The live gear page should stay clean until the ordering path is good enough. The test store is the workshop: hoodie bases, colour mapping, pickup from Dunwich, postage estimates, bulk branch orders, and future purple products can all be tried there without presenting it as finished.
Buyer chooses support
The customer sees the real item cost and postage estimate, then nominates the per-item support or profit amount. The margin is not set by the supplier.
Branch kits later
Hoodies come first. Bundle orders can later support branches and events, while organiser admin, stalls and media setup live on the separate starter field kit page.
Current status
The shopfront demo is not ready to be treated as a final public store. It is safe to publish as a labelled test page so the pipeline can be reviewed, improved, and rebuilt if needed after supplier and printer advice.
