How do I use it?
Print it at home (US Letter and A4 versions included) or fill it in with a PDF app that lets you write on PDFs.
What happens after checkout?
Payhip shows your download link right after checkout and emails it to you too. You download a .zip with 2 PDFs (US Letter and A4, 10 pages each). It's an instant digital download; nothing physical ships.
Does it look up prices or book anything?
