  All orders receive a free online proof within 4 hours of checkout. Although we ask for a credit card upfront, we do not charge it until your proof is approved. Changes will be made to your proof for free until you're happy. You can cancel your order at any time before approval at no charge. The video below shows how our process works.

  Our website displays the total cost for all items up to 10,000 units. There are no additional charges beyond what we display during the ordering process, aside from tax. We also created a quick order tool that makes it easy to see what the total cost of your order will be. The tool is especially useful when you are placing an order with more than 10,000 units or you have a significant number of unique designs. You will see a summary and total that includes multiple design discounts and bulk discounts. It may also be helpful to know that you don't have to know your exact size. We'll determine your precise size based on your artwork and update your price during proofing. For example, if you order 3" x 3" stickers the exact size of your design may be more like 3” x 2.8”. When this happens you’ll see the exact sizing and updated pricing when you receive your free online proof.

  Yes, to view multiple design variations you will need to add a line item to your cart for each variations. For example, if you want to see your design with a red, green and blue background, you would add 3 items to the cart with the corresponding artwork and instructions for each. We will create proofs for each line item that you can view on our site. You can request to cancel any of the line items you do not want after viewing the proofs. This will remove these items from your order so that you will only be charged for the designs you explicitly approve.

• Will you update my price if my size changes during proofing?

  Yes, during proofing we will notify you of any size changes and update your total price accordingly. This makes your ordering easier if you don't know your exact size. You can enter an approximate size during checkout and then we'll update your size and price during proofing to reflect the actual size of your stickers. For example, you might order a 3" x 3" die cut but the actual size of your sticker is 2.8" x 3.0." Since the actual size is slightly smaller than the ordered size we'd reduce your price automatically to charge for the cost of a 2.8" x 3.0".

  Login to your account and select reorder. We will display all of your prior items so you can easily reorder them. If you don't have an account yet, sign up after ordering and we will automatically add any prior orders to your account. Our reorder system makes managing your items easy. You can name, archive and share items with coworkers. Also, since reorders skip the proofing process and go directly into production, reorders ship one day sooner than regular orders.

  Declines can happen for a variety of reasons. When we submit a charge to your bank, their automated systems determine whether or not to accept the charge. These systems take various signals into account, such as your spending habits, account balance and purchase size. Since these signals are constantly changing, a previously successful card might be declined in the future. Even if all of the card information is correct, and you previously had a successful payment using your card, a future charge can still be declined by a bank's overzealous fraud systems. Can you tell my why my card was declined? We only know as much as your bank tells us about the reason for a decline. Unfortunately, in most cases, the bank informs us that the card was declined and doesn't give a specific reason. What should I do if my card is declined? If all of the card information seems correct, it is best to contact your bank and ask for the charge to be accepted. They should be able to see the attempted charge, provide a reason for the decline and lift whatever restriction is preventing your purchase. Alternatively, you could order using PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account balance, selecting PayPal during checkout will still give you an option to pay using your credit card. It's possible that a card that was declined by our payment gateway will be accepted by PayPal, but ultimately it's best to contact your bank to determine the root cause of the problem.

• Is it possible to pay via purchase order?

  Yes, we accept PayPal. We let you select PayPal as a payment method during checkout, but we do not actually charge your PayPal account until your proofs are approved. Your order can be canceled any time prior to approval at no charge. If your order total increases during proofing, we will ask you to authorize your PayPal payment a second time before we print your order.

If you decide to cancel, you can do so any time before approval at no charge.

  We do not provide free stickers. Our preference is to treat all customers fairly and consistently. Giving free product to some people, but not others doesn't fit with our values. For the same reason, we also do not provide discounts to our service. That said, our sample pack is available for $1.00 and includes stickers from some of our favorite brands including Twitter, GitHub, Google Chrome and Dribbble. Alternatively, you may place a small order of custom stickers with your design using our custom samples service.

  Our payment system is heavily tested to ensure the correct amount is charged and your transaction is completely secure. We use Stripe to process all payments because they are Level 1 PCI Compliant, which in simpler terms means, we offer most secure possible checkout experience. Despite all measure we take to ensure cards are charged properly, there is a scenario where your card may appear to be charged twice when, in fact, it has not. Generally, this happens when our attempt to charge your card initially fails and then a subsequent attempt succeeds. Certain banks report a failed charge attempt as a "pending" transaction which makes it appear as if we charged you twice. After a few days, the pending transaction should be dropped by your bank and you will see we only charged your card once. If you ever have questions about billing, do not hesitate to contact us.

  It takes 3 days for a failed PayPal payment to become void. PayPal payments generally fail because your order total changed during proofing. If your order increases by more than 20% then PayPal will fail when we attempt to charge you upon proof approval. If you decide to change to paying via credit card then the PayPal payment will remain pending for 3 days before it expires. We plan to eventually improve our integration with PayPal to void the payment automatically if you switch methods. For now, if you need a payment voided immediately contact us and we will manually void it for you.

  After choosing a product, size and quantity, you can choose to upload new artwork or select a past design. Reusing artwork is more flexible than reordering, as artwork repurposing allows you to order a different product with the same design or change the size of the artwork. Reordering takes a previously ordered design and skips the proofing process, going directly into production and shipping one day sooner than regular orders. Size or product does not change on a reorder. Please note, transfer stickers are currently not available for reuse.

  We make it easy to cancel your order or individual items anytime before you approve your proofs. Please note that after you approve a proof you cannot cancel an order. After you place an order, you can cancel it by selecting your order number and clicking “cancel” in the bottom left corner (screenshot). You will be asked to confirm your choice one time. Similarly, you can also resume a cancelled order by clicking “resume” on the same page. Alternatively, you can cancel individual items after you receive a proof (but only before you approve all proofs in your order). To cancel a proof, view it and click the cancel link below the item information as shown in this screenshot. Once all proofs are approved and an order is in production it's not possible to cancel. Since reorders skip proofing and go straight to production they also cannot be canceled. Please note that your order will automatically cancel if it's awaiting proof approval for more than 7 days.
