💳 Accepting Payments Through PhotoBiz Forms & Contracts

The PhotoBiz Form & Contract Builder makes it easy to collect payments from clients while they’re filling out a form. Whether you're taking session deposits, event registrations, custom orders, or even donations—this tool has you covered.

This guide walks you through how to set up a form that includes payment.


STEP ONE

Access Your Forms

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click FORMS from the menu on the left.

STEP TWO

Choose or Create a Form

Click on an existing form you want to add payments to, or click + New Form to start a new one from scratch.

STEP THREE

Add a Payment Field

On the right-hand side of the form builder:

  1. Click the Miscellaneous section.

  2. Select the Payment block.

This will add a payment section to your form so you can start accepting payments.

STEP FOUR

Set Up Your Payment Details

Once the payment field is added, click on it to open the settings.

Here you can:

  • Set a price
  • Choose merchant settings (the payment processor)

🔔 Important: Your form won’t be able to accept payments until you’ve connected a merchant account.

STEP FIVE

Add Pricing, Taxes, and More

Now it’s time to customize how payments work:

  • Set a base price
  • Add sales tax (if needed)
  • Include shipping
  • Attach digital downloads that are released after payment

Once you're done, be sure to click SAVE CHANGES at the bottom of the page.

💡 Pro Tip

If your pricing depends on what the client selects (like session types or package upgrades), set the base price to $0.00 and add your paid options using:

  • Checkboxes
  • Radio Select fields
    (be sure to use the Advanced features to assign prices to these options)

When everything’s set up, your payment field will look like this inside your form builder:
