Core Workflow Summary#

text

Trend → AI Design → Printify API → Etsy API → Social Media → Monitor → Optimize

• Pricing follows Retail = (Cost+Shipping)/(1‑TargetMargin‑EtsyFeeRate).
• SEO Tags use the 3‑8 split (3‑4 broad, 8‑9 long‑tail) for a total of 13 tags per product.
• Photos – Ensure ≥5 photos; generate lifestyle images via image_generate when Printify provides <2 mockups.
• Automation Schedule – Recommended daily/weekly cron jobs (see references/workflows.md).
