This article explains how to set up Pic-Time as the selling entity in the store.

Alternatively, you can set up the photographer as the selling entity. Compare both options here.

When Pic-Time collects payments, the platform manages all aspects of payment processing, including sales tax calculation and filing for each order, ensuring compliance with regional regulations.

The net profits from store sales (total amount paid by the client minus production and shipping costs) are deposited into the photographer’s PayPal or Stripe account on the 1st and 15th of each month, provided all three conditions are met:

PayPal or Stripe will issue a 1099 form for income over $600. Pic-Time does not provide 1099 forms for your earnings. For assistance in locating your form, visit your PayPal or Stripe tax statement section. Ensure proper record-keeping for your earnings to fulfill tax obligations.

When Pic-Time is the selling entity, the order confirmation will display the Pic-Time logo. The client’s credit card statement will show Pic-Time as the processing company, and all order confirmations will be sent by Pic-Time.

If there’s an issue with the product or delivery, or it doesn’t meet our service standards, our support team can issue a refund depending on your Order Refund Policy. The refund will be processed through the original payment method, reflecting in the customer’s account as per the payment processor’s timelines.
