ANSWER:

First and foremost, our system is SECURE! This was a critical issue for us and has taken us a couple years to gain enough confidence ourselves before we could open this up to our customers. Your protection is of utmost importance to us! There are a couple payment options. One is PayPal, and if you choose that option you will be prompted on screen and transferred to the PayPal site where you will conduct that payment, and come back to our site to finalize the order. That is an immediate transaction. PayPal transfers the money from your account to ours when you pay through their secure site. On the other hand, if you choose to pay by credit card, you will enter all your credit card information on our secure site and once we receive the order and confirm everything, we then process your card. Regardless of the payment option you choose, we will send you a final invoice via email once we receive and confirm your order. And the only items not covered in the initial online order payment is the shipping, since there may be expedited shipping charges if you requested a rush order, or final shipping charges since we don't have that cost until we actually ship your order (so those charges will be applied when the job is ready to ship).
