      How the advisor decides

      It balances customer confidence (trust + product familiarity), delivery certainty, and whether you need money upfront. Full Payment is favored when trust is high, delivery is firm, and/or you need upfront funds. Partial Payment (deposit) is favored when you want commitment + some upfront funds, but customers may hesitate. Free Preorder is favored when customers hesitate to pay early and delivery timing may shift (lowest friction).

      Note: This is general guidance. Always show clear delivery timelines and cancellation/refund terms on your presale page.
