# How Do I Set Up Photographer-Collected Payments?

## This guide walks you through the setup process for when you, the photographer, are the selling entity in the store.

### **Overview**

When you choose to [collect payments as the photographer](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/how-do-i-adjust-who-collects-payments-in-my-store?hsLang=en), Pass can still automate the production of print products. However, you become the selling entity for the order and are responsible for all aspects of sales tax and payment handling.

- **Payment Handling**: When your client places an order, the full payment is deposited into your selected payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, Square, or Offline). The production and shipping costs for the order are then charged to your payment method on file under **Plans & Billing**.
- **Lab Fulfillment**: Photographers can choose to self-fulfill items or use labs integrated with the Pass system.

**Benefits of Collecting Payments as a Photographer**:

- Use a currency other than USD.
- Self-fulfill products in the store (not available on Free and Beginner Plans).
- Collect payments directly.
- Avoid sales commission fees (except for Free and Beginner Plans, which have a 15% commission).
- Adjust sales tax rates.
- Receive quicker deposits.
- Order confirmation emails are branded with your logo and details.
