Placements Disponibles

Placement	Printfile	Canvas (px)	Physical	Price
embroidery_front	PF#478	1890x765 @300dpi	6.30"x2.55"	+2.95 EUR
embroidery_front_large	PF#478	1890x765 @300dpi	6.30"x2.55"	+2.95 EUR
embroidery_back	PF#76	600x300 @300dpi	2.00"x1.00"	+2.95 EUR
embroidery_left	PF#706	675x675 @300dpi	2.25"x2.25"	+2.95 EUR
embroidery_right	PF#706	675x675 @300dpi	2.25"x2.25"	+2.95 EUR

NOTE: embroidery_front and embroidery_front_large share the same printfile (PF#478). Use ONE of them, not both.

NOTE: Side placements (left/right) use PF#706 which is SQUARE (675x675) — different from other hats that use PF#76 (600x300). Design accordingly.

Branding Rules — Snapback

• Front: Main design (logo, icon, text) — this hat has the LARGEST front canvas of any hat (1890x765)
• Back (where used): S mark or skapara.com — white thread on dark hats, dark thread on light hats
• Left/Right sides (where used): Mini S mark — square canvas (675x675) allows circular/square designs
• NEVER copy the front design to other placements — each position has its own design

Pipeline Completo — 10 Steps

Paso 1: Disenar bordados

Design embroidery files for each placement you plan to use. Recommended config:

Standard config (2 placements — front + back):

Placement	Canvas	Design
embroidery_front	1890x765 @300dpi	Main design (logo/icon/text)
embroidery_back	600x300 @300dpi	S mark or skapara.com

Premium config (4 placements — front + back + sides):

Placement	Canvas	Design
embroidery_front	1890x765 @300dpi	Main design
embroidery_back	600x300 @300dpi	S mark or skapara.com
embroidery_left	675x675 @300dpi	Mini S mark (square)
embroidery_right	675x675 @300dpi	Mini S mark (square)

Paso 2: Renderizar PNGs @300dpi

# Front design (largest hat front — 6.30"x2.55")
magick -density 300 -background transparent design-front.svg -resize 1890x765! design-front.png

# Back design
magick -density 300 -background transparent design-back.svg -resize 600x300! design-back.png

# Side designs (SQUARE — different from other hats)
magick -density 300 -background transparent design-side.svg -resize 675x675! design-side.png

Each PNG must match exactly the canvas dimensions of its placement.

Paso 3: Subir PNGs a Supabase Storage (URL publica)

Printful NO acepta data URLs ni base64. Necesita una URL publica accesible.

await supabase.storage.from('designs').upload(
  'embroidery-sources/6089m-product-name/front.png',
  pngBuffer,
  { contentType: 'image/png', upsert: true }
);
const publicUrl = `${SB_URL}/storage/v1/object/public/designs/embroidery-sources/6089m-product-name/front.png`;

Paso 4: Subir a Printful File Library

const result = await pf('/files', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: publicUrl,
    filename: '6089m-product-embroidery_front.png',
  }),
});
const fileId = result.result.id;

Rate limit: delay(3000) between uploads.

Shared utility: For scripts, use import { createPrintfulClient } from './lib/printful-rate-limiter.mjs' — handles token bucket, 429 retry with jitter, proactive slowdown, and exponential backoff automatically.

API Auth headers (ALL calls):

Authorization: Bearer ${PRINTFUL_API_TOKEN}
User-Agent: POD-AI-Store/1.0
X-PF-Store-Id: 17795695          // Skapara store — NEVER 17595620
Content-Type: application/json

Paso 5: Crear Sync Product en Printful

const product = await pf('/store/products', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    sync_product: {
      name: 'Product Name — Snapback',
      thumbnail: publicUrlFront,
    },
    sync_variants: variants.map(v => ({
      variant_id: v.variant_id,
      retail_price: '29.99',
      is_enabled: true,
      files: [
        { type: 'embroidery_front', id: frontFileId },
        { type: 'embroidery_back', id: backFileId },
      ],
      options: [
        { id: 'thread_colors_front', value: ['#FFFFFF', '#000000'] },
        { id: 'thread_colors_back', value: ['#FFFFFF'] },
      ],
    })),
  }),
});

See VARIANTS.md for the complete variant_ids table (18 colors, 21 variants).

Thread colors format: thread_colors_<placement_without_embroidery_prefix>:

thread_colors_front        (NOT thread_colors_embroidery_front)
thread_colors_front_large  (NOT thread_colors_embroidery_front_large)
thread_colors_back         (NOT thread_colors_embroidery_back)
thread_colors_left         (NOT thread_colors_embroidery_left)
thread_colors_right        (NOT thread_colors_embroidery_right)

Thread color selection for hat colors (18 API-verified colors):

• Dark hats (Black, Dark Grey, Dark Navy, Navy, Maroon, Spruce, Green Camo): WHITE (#FFFFFF) or light threads
• Light hats (Silver, Heather Grey, Natural/Black, White): BLACK (#000000) or dark threads
• Two-tone hats (Black/Neon Pink, Black/Red, Black/Silver, Black/Teal, Heather/Black): Match thread to the front panel color

Paso 6: GPSR — Supabase product_details

NOTE: The GPSR API endpoint (/store/products/{id}/gpsr.json) returns 404 for embroidery products. GPSR is managed in Supabase product_details.safety_information.

<p><strong>Manufacturer:</strong> Printful Latvia SIA, Matrozu iela 15, LV-1048, Riga, Latvia</p>
<p><strong>Material:</strong> 80% acrylic, 20% wool</p>
<p><strong>Print technique:</strong> Embroidery</p>
<p><strong>Care:</strong> Spot clean only.</p>
<p><strong>Compliance:</strong> REACH, OEKO-TEX Standard 100</p>

NOTE for Green Camo variant: Material is 60% cotton, 40% polyester — different from the standard blend. Consider noting this in product_details or as a variant-level note.

Paso 7: Crear producto en Supabase

await supabase.from('products').insert({
  id: crypto.randomUUID(),
  title: 'Product Name',
  description: 'Creative marketing description EN — wool blend snapback with embroidered design',
  category: 'snapbacks',
  base_price_cents: 2999,
  compare_at_price_cents: 3499,
  currency: 'EUR',
  status: 'active',
  pod_provider: 'printful',
  provider_product_id: String(pfProductId),
  product_template_id: '99',
  category_id: '<snapbacks-uuid>',
  translations: {
    es: { title: 'Product Name', description: 'Descripcion creativa ES...' },
    de: { title: 'Product Name', description: 'Kreative Beschreibung DE...' },
  },
  product_details: {
    brand: 'SKAPARA',
    model: 'Yupoong 6089M',
    material: '80% acrylic, 20% wool',
    print_technique: 'Embroidery',
    manufacturing_country: 'LV',
    safety_information: '...GPSR HTML from Paso 6...',
  },
});

Paso 8: Crear variantes en Supabase

IMPORTANT: La tabla product_variants requiere campo title (NOT NULL).

// 18 colors (21 variants), each color with one size
for (const [color, variantId] of Object.entries(VARIANT_IDS)) {
  variants.push({
    product_id: PRODUCT_UUID,
    title: `Product Name / ${color} / One size`,
    color,
    size: 'One size',
    price_cents: 2999,
    is_enabled: true,
    is_available: true,
    external_variant_id: String(variantId),
  });
}

Paso 9: Mockups

Generate mockups for each color (or a representative subset). Snapbacks typically show front, side, and back views.

With 18 colors, consider generating mockups for the most popular 8-10 colors and adding the rest later.

Paso 10: Actualizar imagenes en Supabase

Alt text uses hyphen (-), NOT em dash — required by buildImageMap() in the API.

await supabase.from('products').update({
  images: [
    { src: '.../black-front.png', alt: 'Product Name - Black' },
    { src: '.../black-side.png', alt: 'Product Name - Black - Side' },
    { src: '.../dark-navy-front.png', alt: 'Product Name - Dark Navy' },
    { src: '.../dark-navy-side.png', alt: 'Product Name - Dark Navy - Side' },
    // ... more colors
  ],
}).eq('id', productId);

Known Issues

1. Printful NO acepta data URLs: The /files endpoint rejects base64/data URLs. Error: "file URL is not a valid URL". ALWAYS upload to Supabase Storage first and use the public URL.
2. GPSR endpoint 404 for embroidery: GET /store/products/{id}/gpsr.json returns 404. GPSR must be managed directly in Supabase product_details.safety_information.
3. thread_colors obligatorio: Without specifying thread colors, Printful uses defaults that may not match the design. ALWAYS specify thread_colors_<placement> in options.
4. thread_colors ID format: The option ID does NOT carry the embroidery_ prefix. Correct: thread_colors_front, incorrect: thread_colors_embroidery_front.
5. product_variants.title NOT NULL: Supabase requires title field in product_variants. Use format "ProductName / Color / One size".
6. embroidery_front vs embroidery_front_large: Both use PF#478 and same canvas. They are aliases — use ONE, not both.
7. 18 colors, 21 variants: API-verified as of 2026-03-04. 3 two-tone combos from original catalog (Heather Grey/Navy, Heather Grey/Red, Navy/Red) are no longer available. White was added. Some colors may have multiple variants (total 21). Consider which colors to enable initially.
8. Green Camo material difference: Green Camo is 60% cotton / 40% polyester (NOT 80% acrylic / 20% wool). This may affect embroidery quality.
9. Two-tone color names: Colors like "Black/Neon Pink" have slashes — handle carefully in slug generation and alt text.
10. Square side placements: Left/Right use PF#706 (675x675) — SQUARE, unlike other hats that use PF#76 (600x300 rectangular). Design files must be square.
11. Rate limits: Use delay(1500-2000) between API calls. Store ID header required for v1 endpoints.
12. Store ID: ALWAYS use 17795695 (Skapara). NEVER use 17595620 (different store).
