Custom Pin Payment Terms: Why Factories Ask for Prepayment
Custom pins are made to your artwork, with a mold cut for your design. They cannot be sold to anyone else. That is why full prepayment is our standard term. This guide explains how payment works, what you see and approve before you pay, and when terms can be discussed.
Our standard terms

|---|---|
| Standard term | Full prepayment |
| Larger orders | A deposit-and-balance arrangement can be discussed |

| Where terms are set | In your written quotation, before you pay |
Why prepayment is standard for custom pins
Each new design needs its own mold, and each order is plated, colored and packed to your specification. If an order is cancelled, the mold and the pins have no other buyer. Prepayment covers that risk and lets us schedule your production.
What you get before you pay anything
- A written quotation that lists the mold fee, unit price by quantity, sample and packing.
- A free digital proof within 2 working days, so you see the design before you commit.
- Free answers from a product consultant on size, plating, backing and packing.
Paying safely
We accept T/T bank transfer, PayPal or credit card. The method and amount are written in your quotation. Bank details are given only on our official quotation or invoice. Before you send a transfer, confirm the details with your sales contact by email.
