Store-type notes: Print on demand (POD)
- The design-your-own, personalisation, upload and proof sections explain the process; they are page content, not a live product designer.
- To collect a name, text or artwork with an order, or to send orders to a print partner, add a product add-ons plugin or your print-on-demand service’s WooCommerce plugin. The size and colour choices in the demo are normal WooCommerce variations.
- Turnaround times in the demo are samples: replace them with your print partner’s real times.
AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
The Pro Unlimited AI kit lets an assistant rebrand Meridian to your colours, rewrite the sizes, frames, proof steps and turnaround table with your own figures, and build gift landing pages from the theme's sections. It follows AGENTS.md and checks every change with the theme's validator.
Example prompt: Set up this LT Meridian store for my poster studio "North & Ink": street maps and star charts in A4, A3 and 50 × 70 cm (paper $25 / $35 / $55, frames +$40), black and oak frames only, proofs within one working day with two rounds of changes, printing in 2 days, free delivery over $80. Use the Atlas style, put 51.45° N · 2.59° W under the site title and replace every sample text, price and policy.
See AI kit for the files, the prompts and the Abilities.

Everything in the demo is sample content: products, prices, specs, reviews, addresses and opening times. Replace it with your own, or delete it, and follow the going-live checklist. Pro Unlimited: python3 tools/check-theme.py --launch in the theme folder lists every sample left.

Questions about LT Meridian
Can customers type their place, date and title line on the product page?
The theme explains the steps and lays out the sections, but collecting personal text needs a WooCommerce product add-ons plugin. The demo describes the fields; it does not collect them.
Does the theme draw real maps or star charts?
No. The maps in the theme and demo are original sample artwork and the star positions are decorative. A live store needs map and sky data it has the right to print.
Can customers upload a photo for the back label?
The back label section explains the steps. Accepting uploads needs a file upload plugin for WooCommerce.
How do sizes and frames work?
Posters are variable products with Size and Frame attributes, so every combination has its own price. The frame and size picker shows each size to scale and the four frame colours.
Can I sell paper prints only?
Yes. Remove the Frame attribute or keep only Unframed, and hide the frame options in the size picker text.
Is there a dark style?
Yes. Night sky is a dark navy style with gold accents; Chart and Atlas are light.
