A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Six designs each have a 300 ml and 400 ml variant, with distinct product codes such as M03-300 and M03-400. The deliverable is a twelve-row product master, cropped images, drafted item descriptions and owner-assisted setup on the owner's device. Example description: 'M03-300, striped ceramic mug, nominal capacity 300 ml; one mug; colour options confirmed by staff. Ask for availability and delivery charge before paying.' Payment integration, regulated goods, inventory synchronisation and automatic order fulfilment are excluded.
