Questions
What do I get for $1.95?
Full-size cut sheets of your number, name and hailing port, tiled across Letter pages; a cut-ready SVG made of letter outlines for a vinyl cutter or sign shop; and room for 25 layouts in your Lettering File.
Is it a decal shop?
No. Bow and Transom sells nothing physical. You print, cut, or hand the file to whoever makes your lettering.
How does paying work?
Not yet: the site is in preview. PayPal checkout is not switched on, so the paid features are open to everyone and nothing is charged. When checkout opens, a plan is a PayPal subscription tied to your Lettering File. Cancel any time in PayPal; the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. No refunds are promised beyond what PayPal and the law provide.
Do I need an account?
No. The Lettering File is a private link. We never ask for your name or email.
