Please note: Prepay is not activated by default and is reserved for existing North American customers on higher-tier plans with specific business needs. If this applies to you, and you believe Prepay may be a good fit, contact your account manager. Prepay+ is only available to existing users who already have it enabled. We’ve stepped back from broadly offering Prepay/Prepay+ to enhance the experience in the future.

Overview
Prepay price lists can include product packages, digital downloads, à la carte items, and extra backgrounds (for Green Screen jobs). After you create a price list, you can use it in multiple jobs. This article explains how to create a new price list for Prepay jobs.
If you require a non-Prepay workflow instead, learn how to create a price list (proofing).
This article covers the regular single-pose Prepay price list. For multi-pose Prepay+, see set up a Prepay+ photo job.
Prepay settings in photo job main settings
Prepay settings live under Important events on the Photo Job main settings page. Configure each item below before you publish your Prepay shop.
Deadline
- Deadline: Customers can place orders until the date you set here—orders are accepted until 11:59 p.m. on that day.
Access code
- Access code: Fill this only if you checked Protected access in your account’s General Prepay settings.
- No spaces; letters and digits are allowed; not case-sensitive.
Price profile in Prepay
- Price profile: This price list will be used in the Prepay shop. Be aware:
- No upselling options (additional poses, downloads, or prints) are supported in the Prepay shop- even if you reuse a non-Prepay price list.
- The “Download all” package is also not supported in the Prepay shop. You can offer the Individual download instead.
- In price list settings, you can set the purchase of a package as mandatory or define a minimum order value.
- [Prepay + Green Screen] You can add the download package Individual download with all backgrounds. This lets customers add all available backgrounds for a single pose at a fixed price (available only in the Prepay shop).
This is how it appears in the shop:
- Add at least one package. Otherwise, no products will be visible in your Prepay shop. If you want to offer only individual items, create packages that contain those items as a workaround.
The takeaway
To launch a Prepay shop, set your deadline, configure access (if protected), and attach a Prepay-ready price list. Remember: upsells and “Download all” aren’t shown in Prepay, Green Screen supports a convenient “Individual download with all backgrounds,” and you must include at least one package, so products appear in the shop.
