Phototicket iPhone App

Install the Phototicket iPhone App from the Apple App Store to price check or add products to batches.

Phototicket Android App

You can sideload the Phototicket Android App to price check or add products to batches.

You can download the Phototicket Android app from the link above or from our official Phototicket download site where other Phototicket components can be downloaded, like our Windows app, chalk font and product databases.

Using your Android phone or tablet, open Chrome and navigate to https://download.phototicket.com then tap on the Android App Phototicket link:

Once the installation file has been downloaded, tap on Open. You may be asked for permission to install apps from unknown sources. Grant permission.

You will be prompted to install Phototicket. Tap Install.

When the app has installed, you'll be prompted to open the app. Tap Open.

Most stores will be using Phototicket at our standard URL https://app.phototicket.com. If you use a different URL, for example https://sillysollys.phototicket.com, then you'll need to change the default sign in settings:

If you need to change the default sign in settings, tap the cog in the top right corner of the screen:

Change the subdomain to the same subdomain that you use to sign into Phototicket. For example, if you sign into Phototicket at https://sillysollys.phototicket.com, set your subdomain value to sillysollys:

Ensuring that your subdomain is set correctly, enter the email address and password you use to sign into the web app:

Now that you've signed in, you can use the app to either price check or add products to your print batch. If you just want to price check, turn off the Add To One Off Batch switch. To add scanned products to a batch, turn it on.

You can manually type a barcode in the Scan Barcode input, or you can tap the scan icon to scan a barcode:

The first time you scan a barcode, you will be asked for permission to use the camera. Tap While using the app to grant permission:
