After years of Picture Day's using my own website, I have upgraded to a proper school picture website. The benefit to PHOTODAY is private galleries, free shipping and many more products to choose from.

AdvancePay

As always, a $40 pre-paid amount is required for a student to have a mini photoshoot. Here is a guide to how PhotoDay collects the $40 per student.



What is AdvancePay?

AdvancePay (AP) is PhotoDay’s version of pre-pay. Before your photos are created, you will need to buy an AdvancePay credit that’s good for anything in your photographer’s store. Once you’ve purchased a credit, you can sit back, relax, and we’ll text you when the photos are ready. Your credit will be waiting for you at checkout!


How do I purchase an AdvancePay credit?

Your photographer or organization will provide you with an access code for your picture day. You can access your gallery two different ways:

  • Visit my.photoday.com on your mobile or desktop web browser and enter your access code
  • Text your access code to 90738

Once you’re in the gallery, you will see the option to purchase AdvancePay credits. After purchasing a credit, you will receive an email receipt and text message.


Can I use my AdvancePay credit for more than one subject?

Yes! You can apply your AdvancePay credit to more than one subject. But remember, a credit must be purchased for each child you want photographed.


Do AdvancePay credits expire?

AdvancePay credits expire 14 months after the purchase date, so be sure to order when the time comes!


How do I view my AdvancePay credit balance?

You can view your AdvancePay order history and the remaining balance at any time from your gallery. From the Galleries home page, click the menu in the top right > My Credits.
