Order a sample - invitations

[Anne]

O wow, I just noticed this nice button "order a sample" on invitations!
It's as is, not with a big "SAMPLE" text over it, but:
I rate this as a big improvement, thanks!

Where are you seeing this? I just checked a few of my invitations and don't see it.

 @CrazyMermaid  I just saw it on Brave. But you're right: on FF it does not show, so maybe it's a beta test?
I hope this will go through!

Are they FREE samples? If so, that's a very BAD idea! It's an open invitation to dishonest scammers to cut us out of everything and steal our designs for free.

[Connie]

It must be a test, as I'm not seeing it either, but if they are free samples without a watermark that's definitely NOT a good idea. I hope we can opt out!

I'm not seeing it either, but I'm wondering about issues with licensed placeholder images. Like if you have a license to display the image digitally, but not to sell printed copies? The "force user to replace" feature was supposed to deal with that, but if people can order a sample with the placeholder image wouldn't that be violating the license?

[LMGildersleeve]

Yes it does Cat. Zazzle is enabling the bad uses of placeholder user agreements upon doing this.

Giving away a sample is opening us the creator up to law suits. 

Gotta be a test. The option is not found on my invites.

It's right under the product title. 

If you click the button you get

Notice it says "purchase a sample". 

Adding to cart "as-is" with orange button- it was $2.85 for the invite I tried. Using the personalize button, editing, adding to cart - also $2.85. 

Only getting to see the option in one browser (which also shows the new customize layout someone else mentioned, will add screenshot of that later). Looks like it's just what it says - a quick & easy way to BUY one invite as a sample without having to step through customizing it.
