# Making payments

> Pay project fees before viewing photos or downloading delivery files.

Some projects require payment before you can view photos or download the delivery. This is set up by the owner and can be required for viewing, downloading, or both.

## Payment requirements

The owner can set up two types of payment requirements:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="View requirement" icon="eye">
    You must pay before you can open the project and view any photos.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Download requirement" icon="download">
    You must pay before you can download the delivery package.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Making a payment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check payment status">
    If a payment is required, you'll see a prompt with the amount due and any payment instructions the owner has provided.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the instructions">
    Use the bank details, PayPal address, or payment link provided in the instructions. Payment is handled outside the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Await confirmation">
    Once the owner confirms receipt of payment, the requirement is lifted and you can access the project or download the delivery.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  If you've already paid outside of Shootbin (bank transfer, cash, etc.), let the owner know so they can mark the project as paid manually.
