Confirm the price and accepted payment method for the individual puppy directly with the seller. A product page should show its current price in U.S. dollars and the checkout should display any enabled payment method before an order is placed.
Confirm the full amount
Ask for an itemized total, any deposit, the balance due date, and the cancellation and refund terms. Delivery options, timing, transport arrangements and any delivery fees are discussed and agreed directly with the breeder before booking. Check that the written agreement shows the same amounts.
Verify payment instructions
Confirm the payee and payment instructions through a contact method you already trust. Be cautious about last-minute changes to account details. Never share a banking password, PIN, one-time code or security answer.
Keep your records
Save the puppy profile, signed terms, receipts and messages about payment and handover. Payment options should appear here only after the seller has configured and tested them on the live store.
