​PRE-ORDERS: 

This is a great way to receive popular fabric collections as soon as they are available. Pre-ordered fabric will be shipped as soon as it arrives. If ordering additional fabrics that are available now, all fabrics will be held until this fabric collection arrives. If currently available fabric is needed sooner, it must be ordered separately. These arrival times are estimates from our fabric distributor and not guaranteed delivery dates. If you have any questions regarding the status of your order, please let us know.

​PAYMENTS: 

We accept all major credit cards and PayPal.

​PAYMENT CENTER: 

Payments from our shopping site are processed by either Shopify Payments or PayPal. The following credit cards can be used through Shopify Payments: VISA, MasterCard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Diners Club, Elo, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

PAYMENT SYSTEM FRAUD ALERTS:

While extremely rare, the Shopify payment processing system may tag an order as a Potentially Fraud payment or as a Fraud Payment. If your order is flagged as a Potentially Fraud payment, we will require another form of payment to fill your order. If your order is flagged as a Fraud payment, we will cancel your order and reimburse you completely. As the payment collection system is separate from Little Fabric Shop, you will need to contact your credit card company for any information on why this is happening.
