Questions about Hand-illustrated films

When are credits taken?

Only when you mark an order final, after your client has approved the watermarked preview. Each item gets 3 free re-makes, and a film that fails to render is never charged.

Will my clients see the ShaadiMode name?

Your clients and their families see your studio's name and logo on the preview, your shop, the finished invite and the films. The one place ShaadiMode appears is the invitation link, which is on shaadimode.com.

How much does it cost to start as an invite creator?

The account is free and your first few invites are on us: verify your WhatsApp number and use the welcome credits within 30 days. After that you buy credit packs; there is no monthly fee, and ShaadiMode takes no share of what you charge your clients.
