With Photo Booth Upload (PBU) you have the capability of charging customers for photos/videos/GIFs directly in the application. Follow along below to learn how to set up PBU to be able to take credit card payments.

You will need to enable Charge Guests for Sharing Features in your Photo Party Upload event to be able to use this feature and set prices. You can learn how to do so HERE.

We are only able to integrate with the credit card service Stripe. If you would like to use a different service like Square or PayPal, you'll have to use the Attendant Code feature as described in tutorial linked above. We do not receive any income from Stripe for referring customers to their service.

You must also purchase a USB credit card reader and install it on your system. These are not included with the INFINITE. An example of an appropriate reader can be found on amazon.com HERE.
