 ## Pricing
 DW price = the website price (Steve: **no trade discount** for Artmura). Sample $5.
 
+## It's a template — clone for any DW line
+This is config-driven (`site.config.js`) and links OUT to the live Shopify store for purchase
+(read-only lookbook; `rel=canonical` → the live PDP, so it complements, never competes).
+
+**Generate a landing for any live DW vendor straight from Shopify:**
+```sh
+SHOPIFY_ADMIN_TOKEN=… node build-line.js "Schumacher"
+# → lines/schumacher.json + lines/schumacher-handles.json + a site.config block to paste
+VENDOR=schumacher PORT=9922 node server.js
+```
+`build-line.js` pulls the vendor's active products (title, price = highest non-sample variant —
+never the $4.25 sample, specs from metafields, CDN images, live handle). No image download needed
+(`localImages:false` → serves Shopify CDN urls). Optional: run a color-extract for the color sort/filter.
+
 ## Status
-**Preview only — not deployed.** `noindex` until launch. `.deploy.conf` + `ecosystem.config.cjs` are scaffolds; wire a domain only after Steve approves the design and the products go live. The 161 Shopify products are staged as a one-command **draft** push (`../scripts/artmura-onboard/run-push-artmura.sh --apply`).
+The 161 Artmura products are **LIVE** on designerwallcoverings.com. This landing is a brand lookbook
+over them. **Not yet deployed to a public subdomain** — that's a DNS change gated on Steve
+(`.deploy.conf` + `ecosystem.config.cjs` ready; pick a subdomain e.g. artmura.designerwallcoverings.com).
