What Payment Methods Are Accepted for a Custom AF1

A custom AF1 commission here is confirmed over WhatsApp and settled by bank transfer, and that conversation itself stands as the written record of your brief, your price and your size before any money changes hands. There is no separate account to create and no checkout page you fill in blind; the whole order is agreed in a direct conversation with the studio first.

Bank transfer was chosen deliberately over a personal payment app for the reason covered in how to pay for a custom AF1 commission safely: a bank transfer is traceable on both ends and leaves a real record, which matters far more for a made-to-order pair that cannot simply be resold if something goes wrong than it would for an ordinary retail purchase.

For an international commission, the same conversation covers currency and the exact transfer amount before you send anything, so there is no ambiguity discovered only after the money has moved. The practicalities of ordering from outside Pakistan, beyond payment itself, including shipping and customs, are set out in commissioning a pair from outside Pakistan.

You are not required to settle the full amount immediately if you would rather hold your place first. A Rs 5,000 reservation secures your slot on the bench and is credited in full against the final price, with the balance settled before painting begins, covered fully in do you pay a deposit for a custom AF1. Either route, full payment or a reservation followed by the balance, ends the same way: nothing is painted until payment is complete.

There is no cash on delivery and no partial or instalment payment split across the commission itself; the balance is always settled in full before any work begins, which is stated plainly in the terms of service. This is not a preference for convenience so much as a reflection of what the commission actually is: a shoe sourced and a design built specifically for your order, with nothing recoverable if payment fell through partway through painting.

If a payment method or a step in this process is unclear to you at any point, ask before you send anything. A studio with nothing to hide about how it takes payment will walk you through every part of it without hesitation, which is itself one of the checks worth making before commissioning from anyone, covered in how to vet a custom AF1 artist.

None of this is complicated in practice. It is a conversation, a confirmed brief and price, a bank transfer, and a written record of all of it before a brush moves.
