Step 2: Upload to Supabase Storage + Printful File Library

// Upload to Supabase first (Printful needs public URL)
await supabase.storage.from('designs').upload(
  'embroidery-sources/product-name/placement.png',
  pngBuffer,
  { contentType: 'image/png', upsert: true }
);
const publicUrl = `${SB_URL}/storage/v1/object/public/designs/embroidery-sources/product-name/placement.png`;

// Then upload to Printful File Library
const result = await pf('/files', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: publicUrl, filename: 'placement.png' }),
});
const fileId = result.result.id;

Step 3: Create Sync Product

const product = await pf('/store/products', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    sync_product: {
      name: 'Product Name — SKAPARA Embroidered',
      thumbnail: publicUrlChest,
    },
    sync_variants: variants.map(v => ({
      variant_id: v.variant_id,
      retail_price: PRICES[v.size],
      is_enabled: true,
      files: [
        { type: 'embroidery_chest_center', id: chestFileId },
        { type: 'embroidery_wrist_left', id: wristLeftFileId },
        { type: 'embroidery_wrist_right', id: wristRightFileId },
      ],
      options: [
        { id: 'thread_colors_chest_center', value: ['#FFFFFF', '#01784E'] },
        { id: 'thread_colors_wrist_left', value: ['#FFFFFF'] },
        { id: 'thread_colors_wrist_right', value: ['#FFFFFF', '#01784E'] },
      ],
    })),
  }),
});

  for (const size of SIZES) {
    await supabase.from('product_variants').insert({
      product_id: PRODUCT_UUID,
      title: `ProductName / ${color} / ${size}`,
      color,
      color_hex: hex,

    });
  }
}

  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${PRINTFUL_API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "X-PF-Store-Id: 17795695" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "User-Agent: POD-AI-Store/1.0" \
  -d '{
    "variant_ids": [VARIANT_ID],
    "format": "png",
    "width": 1000,
    "option_groups": ["Ghost"],
    "options": ["Front", "Back"],

    ]
  }'

Branding Strategy — Embroidery

• embroidery_chest_center: SKAPARA logo + text embroidered (primary branding)
• embroidery_wrist_left: S mark in white thread on dark garments
• embroidery_wrist_right: Geometric/decorative motif or skapara.com text
• All 8 colors viable: Embroidery thread provides contrast on any garment color
• Color Notes:
  • Grey Melange: medium tone — both light and dark thread colors work
  • Red: dark-medium color — white/light thread preferred
  • Royal Blue: dark color — white/light thread
  • White: light color — use dark/black thread only

Embroidery Design Rules

1. Max 6 thread colors per design (15 total available)
2. Min text height: 5mm / 0.25"
3. Min line width: 1.5mm
4. No gradients (unless using unlimited_color — check availability)
5. File format: PNG @300dpi preferred
6. chest_center vs chest_left: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE — choose one
