Installment and final payments

Your payment schedule

Your project page shows a card labeled Payment schedule with the subtitle Agreed with the studio - the same one to four payments you approved with the proposal. Each row carries a badge (Upcoming, Requested, Due, or Paid) and a position line such as Payment 2 of 3.

The card's footer states the rule that governs everything here: "Payments are collected in order. The studio requests each one when its trigger is reached - nothing is charged automatically."

When each payment is requested

Every payment in the schedule has a trigger - the point in the project when it becomes payable: On proposal approval, On concept or sketch approval, On mock-up approval, After a fitting is completed, Before shipment or pickup, On a specific date, or Custom milestone.

Triggers are expectations, not timers. When a trigger is reached, your studio requests that payment by hand, and it appears on your project page to pay. Payments are collected in order, and nothing is ever charged to your card automatically.

Paying an installment

When a payment is requested, the card on your project page tells you what it is for and where you stand, for example: "Pay $300 for Mock-up approval - the schedule above shows what remains. You've already paid $200." You pay by card in an embedded Stripe checkout inside the project page, the same way you paid the deposit.

When the payment goes through, you'll see Payment received and You're all set., and the schedule row flips to Paid.

The final payment and completion

Your studio cannot hand over your piece or mark the project complete while any of the agreed balance is unsettled - delivery and completion both wait until the schedule is paid in full through Tailore. That is also your protection: settle the balance and the handover can happen.

Completion itself is a handshake: after delivery or pickup, you confirm completion on the project. See Delivery, pickup and completion.

Currencies

Tailore supports 16 currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, NGN, GHS, KES, ZAR, XOF, XAF, AED, SAR, EGP, MAD, BRL, and CHF. Each project uses one currency - the one the proposal was quoted in - and every amount is shown with its ISO code, like 2,500.00 USD.
