The Paywall Workflow Stage lets you charge guests directly at the photo booth using a QR code and Stripe Checkout. Ideal for restaurants, event venues, and any pay-per-photo setup — it enables automated, self-service monetization with no manual payment handling required.

Requires a Pro or Premium license. Pictor's platform fee is 10% for Pro and 5% for Premium — the remainder goes directly to your Stripe account.

How It Works

When a guest reaches the Paywall stage in your workflow, a QR code appears on the booth screen. The guest scans it with their phone, completes payment via Stripe Checkout, and the booth automatically continues to the next workflow step — no staff involvement needed.

You can place the Paywall stage at the beginning or end of your workflow depending on your use case — collect payment before the photo is taken, or after.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Create an Event

Log in to your Pictor account.
Create a new Advanced Event.
Open the Workflow tab.

2. Add the Paywall Stage

Click the + (Plus) icon in your workflow.
Select Paywall from the stage list.

3. Connect Your Stripe Account

Click Connect Stripe inside the Paywall section.
Log in to your existing Stripe account or create a new one.
⚠️ The Stripe account must use the same email as your Pictor account.
Once connected, your account will appear as Connected.

4. Set Your Price

Enter the price guests will pay per session.
The platform fee is deducted automatically — the remainder is deposited to your Stripe account.

5. Customize the QR Code Display (Optional)

Use the paintbrush/design tools within the Paywall stage to customize the QR code display — colors and styling can be adjusted to match your event branding.

6. Finalize Workflow & Launch

Add remaining workflow stages (e.g., Capture → Print → Share).
Save your event.
Launch it on your iPad or mobile device — a unique QR code will appear for guests to scan.
