If you need to provide your credit card number, check if the website you use is verified, which means that info you provide is encrypted and your info is safe. Verified websites have a padlock symbol at the bottom of the browser. On newer browsers, find these details by clicking on the favicon/domain button.
If you choose to have the T-shirt embroidered, choose a less complicated design with fewer colors. Typically, embroideries on T-shirts are made using one to five colors and the color scheme is simplified. Complex embroideries using more colors may be very expensive.
