How a prototype deposit works
No fees. No subscription. Just the first dollars of your project, paid up front.
You pick a package and place the deposit
Checkout is handled by Thrivecart, so your payment information never touches our servers. We’re notified instantly when your deposit is in.
A project manager reaches out within 1–2 business days
They’ll ask for your brief, references, and timeline, and walk you through the prototype process from there.
Your deposit is credited on your final invoice
When the production order ships, every dollar of your prototype deposit comes off the final bill. You’re not paying twice.
