The Print Bar

Role: Merch print/fulfilment partner and merchant of record for all Pride of our Footscray merchandise.

Commercial arrangement

  • Merch is sold on The Print Bar’s DecoNetwork storefront at prideofourfootscray.theprintbar.com. They print, ship, take payment, and remit GST; Pride is paid a commission.
  • Commission is struck on the GST-exclusive price. Wholesale costs (as reviewed 2026-07-28): hoodie $43.14, tee $23.99, crop $19.91 — hoodies return ~5.08%, so a $50 hoodie pays Pride $2.31, less than a $25 crop.
  • The storefront’s default wholesale→retail markup is 0.0% — any product added without a manual price ships at cost. Pricing is a manual step per product.
  • Commission is paid to a PayPal account; confirming it is the company’s account and reconciling receipts into Xero sits with Mat (see the 2026-07-28 review record).

Why the website carries no cart

DecoNetwork’s External Cart API is Enterprise-plan-only, and that plan is The Print Bar’s, not Pride’s — so a cart or checkout on prideofourfootscray.bar is unavailable, not merely discouraged. Do not re-litigate without written answers from TPB on plan and willingness. The website’s /merch page is a shopfront that deep-links to the storefront; its live product source is the store’s unauthenticated RSS feed.

History

  • A legacy Big Cartel store previously existed at shop.prideofourfootscray.bar; the dangling CNAME was deleted and verified gone 2026-08-02.
  • Square POS never sold merch online — the venue’s Square remains the POS and Pintuna membership payment platform but is no longer wired to the website. The store did ~$1,960 across 31 orders off-site while the old /merch rendered an empty state.
