How to Order a Custom Product from Your AI Pet Portrait

Transform your AI-generated pet portrait into stunning physical products in just 5 simple steps. From selecting your favorite image to customizing and ordering, this guide walks you through the entire process.

Our streamlined ordering process makes it incredibly easy to turn your favorite AI-generated pet portrait into a beautiful physical product. Whether you want a canvas print, mug, t-shirt, or phone case, you can have it customized and ordered in under 5 minutes.

What You'll Need:

  • A generated pet portrait in your gallery
  • A shipping address
  • Payment method (credit/debit card)

Step 1: Choose Your Portrait

Start by visiting your Gallery where all your AI-generated pet portraits are stored. Browse through your collection and find the perfect image you want to turn into a product.

Click on the image to view it in full size. You'll see a modal window appear with your portrait displayed prominently.

In this modal, look for the "Create a Product" button (usually colored in blue or your primary theme color) and click it.

Step 2: Browse the Product Catalog

You'll now be on the Products page showing all available items. Each product displays a generic preview image initially. You'll see options like:

  • Canvas prints (various sizes)
  • Photo mugs
  • T-shirts (different colors and sizes)
  • Phone cases
  • Tote bags
  • And more!

Each product shows:

  • The product name
  • Size/variant options (if applicable)
  • Price
  • A "Customize" button

Select a product variant by clicking on the size or color options if available. All products are ready to customize immediately - no waiting for mockups to generate!

Step 3: Customize Your Image

When you click the "Customize" button on any product, a cropping tool will appear. This powerful feature lets you adjust exactly how your pet portrait will look on the product.

Using the Crop Tool:

  • **Zoom:** Use your mouse scroll wheel or pinch gestures to zoom in/out
  • **Reposition:** Click and drag the image to adjust the placement
  • **Rotate:** Some products allow rotation for the perfect angle
  • **Aspect Ratio:** The tool automatically maintains the correct aspect ratio for the selected product

Take your time here - you'll see a live preview of how your portrait fits on the product. Once you're happy with the positioning, click "Confirm Crop".

Step 4: Preview and Enter Shipping Details

After confirming your crop, the system generates a realistic mockup showing exactly how your product will look. This takes just a few seconds.

While viewing your mockup preview, you'll see a shipping form. Fill in:

  • Full name
  • Street address
  • City
  • State/Province code
  • ZIP/Postal code
  • Country

As you type your address, shipping rates automatically calculate and appear below the form. You'll see options like:

  • Standard Shipping (7-10 business days)
  • Express Shipping (3-5 business days)
  • Priority Shipping (1-2 business days)

Select your preferred shipping method by clicking on it.

Step 5: Review and Complete Purchase

  • **Product:** Name and variant you selected
  • **Subtotal:** Product price
  • **Shipping:** Selected shipping method and cost
  • **Tax:** Calculated based on your location

When everything looks correct, click the "Buy Now" button.

You'll be securely redirected to the Stripe payment page where you can:

  • Complete the purchase with Apple Pay or Google Pay

After successful payment, you'll receive:
