We work with both Stripe.com and Authorize.net, both widely used payment gateways that provide secure and reliable payment processing services. They are designed to handle sensitive credit card information securely, ensuring the safety of your financial data during transactions.   Once we receive your art approvals, your job is ready to move to production, and a hold is placed on your credit card for the estimated amount of your job. This hold is essentially a temporary reserve of funds to ensure that the amount needed for your order is available when it's time to charge your card.  The actual charge for the full amount, including any overage that might have occurred during production, shipping, or any extra costs associated with the project, will take place once your job is ready to ship. This ensures that you are billed accurately for the final product you receive.  If you have any specific questions or concerns about the payment process or security measures, please contact us.
