Does it need the Shopify connection?

No. Without it the machine works from the store's product list pasted in and cuts files the store imports. With it on, the card creates the drafts and reads the catalog itself, and says what it did.

Will it publish for me?

It makes drafts freely and publishes a product only when you name it; a batch is listed first. That is the law on the face.

Where do prices come from?

From you, on the ladder or off it. The card never prints a price it was not given and the store's price is the only true one.

Can it attach the files?

No — that door is the app's and yours. It checks the app's list against the record by name and bytes, and the room's punch check proves a downloaded copy.

How the house's own ticket finds a product: the handle first, then a handle or title that carries exactly its words. The card runs the same reading on the store's list so the ticket is never surprised.

No. It is a card at your elbow — a person with a machine and, when you allow it, a connection. It stores nothing, runs no server and holds no key of its own.

Nothing enters the studio’s register, and nothing carries the PROVEN mark, unless a person at the studio has read it. A card made on THE MINT is yours; it says GENUINE on THE PROOF only once the studio has registered it.

From the studio

THE MINT · REGISTER A CARD

One card you made, read by a person at the studio, checked by THE VALIDATION CARD and entered in the studio’s register, so THE PROOF says GENUINE for anyone you give or sell it to. PROVEN if it passes every check.

THE MINT · REGISTER TWELVE

Twelve cards registered over one year, each read and checked the same way. It does not renew itself.

STUDIO-MADE CARD · THE GUIDANCE

The studio writes your card with you: the door, the whole card, the start, the face and the punch. Written guidance, no tool inside.

STUDIO-MADE CARD · WITH A TOOL

The same, with a working tool inside the card and its own self-test, run before it is handed over.

STUDIO-MADE CARD · ON YOUR DOCUMENTS

A card built on your own company’s process and documents, under a written licence.
