It's quick and easy to get started with PhotoDay! This section covers the basics of creating and setting up your account. Let's dive in!
Creating Your Account
First things first, let’s create a PhotoDay account. If you already have one, go ahead and skip this portion.
All you need to do to get started is visit PhotoDay’s sign-up page, where you can start by choosing a lab. Then you’ll fill out some basic information about you and your studio. Finish up by setting a password and agreeing to PhotoDay’s terms and policies.
After submitting, we will send you a confirmation email to verify and ensure the security of your account.
Note: Not seeing the verification email in your inbox? You might need to double-check your spam or trash folders.
Studio Setup
Once you click Verify My Account in the confirmation email, you’ll be directed right to your PhotoDay Studio Panel Home page at studio.photoday.io. This is your home base for all things PhotoDay!
Before you can start selling photos, let’s set up a few key items related to your business. Navigate to the Settings tab in the top right of your Home screen, and click My Studio.
First up is the Studio Information section. You already filled out most of these fields during sign-up, but it’s always good to double-check and make sure everything’s accurate.
Next, select Labs from the menu on the left side of your screen. Right now, this section will show the lab you chose at sign-up, but you can always add more of our partner labs with the click of a button. Go ahead and add as many labs as you’d like!
When you choose a lab, you’re not only utilizing their quality printing services, but you’re also gaining access to each one’s extensive product catalog, as well as different themes and collections of graphics for customizable products (more on that soon).
Payment with Stripe
The Payment section is where you can view the status of your Stripe connection—our helpful payment gateway that handles all transactions within PhotoDay. Before you can get paid, you’ll need to set up your account.
If you don’t already have a Stripe account for your business, you can easily create one right from this Payment settings page. All you need to do is click the Connect with Stripe button.
This takes you to PhotoDay’s signup portal in Stripe, where you can fill out all of the required information requested on the page. Save your new account with an email address and password, click the Authorize access to this account button, and you’re officially ready to start selling. Learn more about Stripe.
Taxes
Everyone’s favorite topic—taxes. We ensure all of the important policies are followed, so you can focus more on your craft. PhotoDay is a marketplace facilitator and must remit sales taxes to each respective state. You may be provided with a 1099-K form from Stripe that reflects your studio income for the previous year. Learn more about taxes in PhotoDay.
Logo and Watermark
PhotoDay always wants to showcase your studio’s brand to your customers, and this section will help you do just that. Upload your company logo and a graphic to use as your watermark.
Your logo is used for customer-facing activities, like promotional flyers and AdvancePay credits (we’ll dive into those later).
Watermarks are a great way to protect your photos from being copied without purchasing. PhotoDay has a default watermark in place, but you’re welcome to upload your own file by clicking Replace.
Once you’re finished uploading and/or customizing, be sure to click the blue Save button in the top right.
