How do I pay for a custom cushion quote?
Also asked as:Please send the linkWhat's the next step?
You've settled the size and the fabric over a dozen messages. Now the part everybody pauses on: where does the money go?
SaveThe quick answer
You pay a custom cushion quote through a private purchase link the workshop creates at your agreed price, or through a size option labeled 'Custom for' plus your name. It checks out like any normal marketplace purchase. Write your fabric code, piping and exact size in personalization or the note to seller, then send a message after paying so production starts.

From quote to cutting table
Agree the details
Size, fabric, thickness and piping, settled in messages. The quote Pattern lists what the workshop needs.
Get your link
The workshop sends a private purchase link, or sets a size option called 'Custom for' plus your name to the quoted price.
Pay
It checks out exactly like a normal marketplace purchase.
Fill in the note
Fabric code, piping choice and exact size go in personalization or the note to seller.
Send a message
A short 'paid' tells the workshop to start production.
What belongs in the note
- Your fabric code, exactly as the chart prints it
- Piping: matching, contrast (with its code) or none
- Exact size: length x depth x thickness
- Thickness, if you haven't sent it yet
Pay first, or pick the fabric first?
Pull up a chair, because the answer is: whichever suits you. Some folks pay the link the day it arrives and send fabric and thickness later, once the swatches have sat on the porch rail through a morning and an evening. Others confirm the fabric first and pay after. Both land on the same cutting table.
Now and then the workshop asks you to order through the standard listing instead, at the nearest size, and refunds the agreed difference straight away. Coupons generally won't work on a custom link, though nobody stops you trying one at checkout. The personalization note Pattern shows how to write sizes so nothing gets misread, and a fabric code is the one detail worth copying twice. Did you write yours down somewhere safe, neighbor?
Paid, but no order number
A buyer messaged the workshop after paying through the custom link: no order number had ever shown up. Here is the rule the workshop gave them. When a payment goes through, the marketplace always creates an order number and sends a purchase confirmation email. With neither in hand, the payment didn't finish. Banks sometimes block these charges, so the fix was a word with the bank and a second try on the same link.
The note to seller is half the order: fabric code, piping and exact size, written the moment you pay for a custom cushion.

Buyer questions
- A common question
How do I pay a custom quote, and will a coupon work on it?
The workshop's answerOnce the details are confirmed, the workshop creates a private purchase link that works exactly like a normal marketplace purchase. Coupons generally won't apply to custom links, though you're welcome to try at checkout. Send a message after paying so production starts.
- A common question
How does the quote and private link work for a multi-piece order?
The workshop's answerThe workshop quotes a total and sends a private custom-order link. You can pay first and send fabric and thickness choices afterward, or confirm the fabric first. Sometimes it asks you to use the standard listing instead and refunds the agreed difference right away.
- A common question
I paid through your custom link but never got an order number. Did it go through?
The workshop's answerA successful payment always creates a marketplace order number and a purchase confirmation email. If you have neither, check with your bank, since banks sometimes block these payments, then retry the custom link.
- A common question
How do I pay the quote you gave me?
The workshop's answerSelect the size option called 'Custom for' followed by your name, which is set to your quoted price, or use the custom link the workshop sends. Then write your fabric code, piping choice and exact size in personalization or the note to seller.
Questions buyers ask next
Can I pay for a custom cushion before I've chosen the fabric?
Yes. Either order works: pay the custom link first and send your fabric and thickness choices afterward, or settle the fabric and then pay. Just make sure the fabric code reaches the workshop so production can begin.
Why would the workshop ask me to buy through a regular listing?
Sometimes the quickest route is the standard listing at the nearest size. The workshop then refunds the agreed difference straight away, so you pay the quoted amount, with your exact size written in the note.
Is a 'Custom for' size option safe to select if it has my name?
Yes, that option was set up for you. The workshop adds a size called 'Custom for' plus your name and sets it to your quoted price, so selecting it is the same as paying a private link.
