Do I pay before the proof?
The current form does not collect payment. It receives the memory brief and photo first while checkout is being finalized.
Pawlogue Pets is built for an emotional kind of order: someone is trusting us with a pet photo, a name, and often a painful or tender memory. The process is intentionally simple, private by default, and centered on proofing before any final delivery or physical production. While checkout is still being finalized, the site focuses on receiving a careful memory brief rather than rushing a payment.
Every order begins with the pet's name, one favorite image, an email address, and a short memory note. A clear face photo helps most, but backup images can show markings, coat color, ears, collar details, age, posture, or the expression the family remembers best. The first goal is to understand the pet, not to push every customer into the biggest package.
AI can help create portrait directions, clean up rough photos, and explore soft art styles, but the goal is not to invent a new pet. The proof should preserve recognizable details and avoid turning a personal memory into a generic fantasy image. The best result usually comes from one clear photo, a restrained style, and a human note about what must stay true.
The proof step is the center of the workflow. Customers should see the portrait direction before final digital delivery, QR memory-page preparation, or physical fulfillment. A correction note about the eyes, markings, color, or expression is handled before the keepsake moves forward. This matters because memorial products are not casual decorations; they need to feel right to the people who knew the pet.
Pet photos and memory notes are not treated as public gallery material. The intended memory page experience is a private share link or QR link for family and close friends. Public use, testimonials, advertising examples, or social posts should require clear permission later. The default assumption is that a pet memory belongs to the family.
While checkout is being finalized, the homepage form collects a memory brief and photo only. No payment is collected by the form. The customer can be contacted after the proof direction and order details are clear. This keeps the site useful during PayPal review without creating a confusing half-checkout experience.
Framed prints, plaques, jewelry, and gift-box directions should begin only after the customer approves the relevant proof. Personalized products are different from ordinary inventory, so the process favors careful confirmation over rushing production. That also makes support easier later because the customer has seen the portrait, name, and memory-page direction first.
The best preparation is simple: one favorite photo, one or two backup images, the pet's name, optional dates, and a few honest lines about what made the pet unforgettable. Short, specific memories usually create stronger keepsakes than formal memorial wording. A nickname, favorite place, daily habit, or family phrase can carry more feeling than a long paragraph.

No. The intended default is private handling. Public examples, testimonials, or social use should require clear permission later.
Use the proof step to give specific correction notes about expression, markings, color, or details. The process is designed to catch those issues before final delivery or production.
Yes. A digital portrait can be the first step before adding a framed print, QR memory page, jewelry, or gift-box direction later.
