AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
With the AI kit an assistant can set up your departments, categories and the Departments menu, write product copy with item codes, inside sizes and packs, and rebrand the store in theme.json without breaking the block markup. It follows rules that keep the B2B plugin notes, the static preview notes and sample labels in place, and it never adds eco claims you have not confirmed.
Example prompt: Set up this LT Carton store for my business "Harbour Box Co." (sample): departments Boxes, Mailers, Tape, Labels and Void fill, one warehouse at 12 Quay Road open Mon–Fri 8:00–17:00, click & collect the same day when ordered by 12:00, free delivery over $120, trade accounts for online shops and fulfilment teams. Use the Grey Board style with my brand colour #23415A, update the department cards and the box size guide, and write the trade tiers for shops and 3PL teams.

Questions about LT Carton
How is the price per unit worked out?
The theme divides each product's price by the number of units in its pack: the first number in the Pack attribute (for example "100 boxes") or in the product's pack text. Variable products show the lowest unit price of their variations.
Does the box size finder filter products?
Not on its own. The finder in the hero is a static preview that opens the box department; filtering boxes by length, width and height needs a product filter plugin and Size attributes on your products.
Can shops and fulfilment teams get trade prices?
The Trade account page and the tier, quick order and case price sections show how a trade counter works. Trade price lists, payment terms and ordering by item code need a WooCommerce B2B or quick-order plugin; the sections say so.
How are the nine departments set up?
The demo has nine top-level product categories with sub-categories under boxes and mailers. The first item of the header menu holds them and opens as a wide panel on desktop, and the departments section repeats them as cards.
How does the printed boxes request work?
The request block shows the steps (artwork, proof, print) and a sample quote card. Its button opens an email; a real quote form needs a forms plugin.
Can I use it for a single packaging line or an office supplies store?
Yes. Rename the departments and categories, change the size guide and drop the sections you do not need; the large-catalogue sections work for any supplies store that sells by the pack, case or pallet.
