How do I upload my photos?

You can access MY MOOTSH from either your phone or your desktop. You can start your order, save your selections and complete your order at any time, from any device.

Step 1:  Add your photos
Click on the + sign on the welcome screen of MY MOOTSH to add your selection of photos.
We recommend that you upload a maximum of 60 photos when uploading from your phone and that you use the desktop version of Mootsh for larger orders (60–120 images).

Once uploaded, photos will automatically be sorted by the image size closest to their original ratio. 

Step 2: Edit  your order

Once your photos are uploaded, you will see your selections in a thumbnail gallery, sorted by print size (photos are automatically sized in the ratio closest to their original dimensions).
From this screen you can:

  • Refine your selection: remove unwanted images using the trashcan icon in the upper left corner of the window and then tapping the photos you wish to remove. You can also add more images using the + button.
  • Add multiple copies of the same image: click on the thumbnail of the image you want multiple copies of and add as many copies as desired.
  • Select the size of your prints: If you wish to resize your images you can do so by clicking on the thumbnail of an image and selecting  Adjust Size to customize the crop. If you do not edit the image sizes they will automatically be printed in the size closest to their original ratio.
  • Save your order for later: start your order today, and complete it when you’re ready! Click Save for Later and your uploaded photos will be waiting for you the next time you log in.

Step 3: Review Your Order

From this screen, you can:

  • Edit your contact sheet date: use the drop down menu to select the month and year you wish to feature on the contact sheet (the dated thumbnail image gallery) included with your order. If you do not edit this section it will print with the date of the current month.
  • Edit your border preference: choose your border preference for this order. If you don’t edit your preference here, Mootsh will automatically print your photos in the default border style set up in your Account Settings.
  • Review a summary of your order: verify the total number of prints, quantities of each image and the size of the prints in your order.
  • Go back to your selection: if you’re unsure about your photo selections and want to refine it, click on the Back button at the bottom of the page (not your browser’s back arrow), and you’ll be guided to the previous step. 

Step 4: Confirm your order
From this screen you can:

    • Edit your shipping address: here you can edit the shipping address for your order. When you edit the shipping address from this screen, it does not overwrite your default address and will only use the edited address for the specified order. If you don’t edit the shipping address, your order will be sent to the shipping address set up in your Account Settings.
    • Add a gift note: use this space to send a note to a gift recipient, or to summarize the month of photos for your own albums! Use up to 320 characters/8 lines to tell your story. Sorry, emojis are not supported.
    • Review your extra prints order: if you order more prints than your available print credits, we’ll direct you to a checkout page to pay for your extra prints. Click Continue to Payment to complete your order.
    • Place your order: when you’re ready, click Place Your Order, and your photos will be sent to our photo lab. Print sizes, contact sheet details, and border preferences may not be edited after placing your order.

When is the best time to upload my photos?

You can upload your photos at any time.

Will I be reminded?

Mootsh was designed to help members develop a monthly printing routine, and sends reminders each month to help build their printing practice. Throughout the month, we’ll reach out with reminders (up to three emails and a text message) to upload your photos if you’ve not already done so.

Will I lose my credits if I don't upload before my renewal date?

No. Unused credits will roll over to the following month and can be used at any time so long as your account is active.

Can I collect previous months of photos?

If you want to collect past months of photos organized by the date they were taken, you are welcome to  place additional  orders. All additional  orders come with their own contact sheets dated by month and year, which you may customize prior to completing your order, making it easy to catch up on memories made before joining Mootsh! . See the section “Additional Orders” for more details.

Can I request a specific packaging design for my order?

Our customers love our vintage inspired sleeves! At this time we are unable to accommodate individual requests to personalize order packaging, but hope to offer such services in the future.

ADDITIONAL ORDERS

Can I place more than one order per month?

How much does it cost to place an additional order?

If you have 0 shipping or print credits left in your account, you’ll have to pay US$ 5.00 for handling and shipping and US$ 0.85 per print. If you have previously unused shipping and print credits that accumulated in your account, they will be applied toward additional orders placed throughout the month.

Can I use my available print credits when I place an additional order?

Why would I place an additional order?

The reasons for additional orders are as unique as your memories! Our members most frequently place additional orders in order to build their photo collection and catch up on past memories or mail photos to loved ones. Additional orders are also perfect for professional photographers, and those interested in sending photos for gift occasions! Since all additional orders contain their own contact sheet and shipment preferences you can easily order photos chronologically and ship them anywhere in the United States.

MY PRINT CREDITS

How do print credits work?

Each renewal of your membership will add 10 print credits to your  MY MOOTSH  account. You can easily keep track of your current print credits from your account dashboard.

What happens if I don’t upload photos during one renewal period?

If you don’t upload photos during a given renewal period, the credits (shipping and print) you accrued that month will simply roll over to the following renewal period  and can be used at any time in the future (so long as your account remains active).
For example: your Mootsh membership renewed on January 15. At that time 1 shipping credit and ten print credits accrued in your account. The month gets busy and you forget to place your print order! Not to worry! Your shipping  and print credits will roll into your February 15 renewal period and you’ll then have 2 shipping credits and 20 print credits awaiting you when you’re ready to bring your memories home.

What happens if I want to print more photos than my available print credits?

You are welcome to order more prints after using your account’s available print credits! Each extra print will cost US$ 0.85. You’ll be notified when your order selection includes extra prints and you’ll also be notified of the cost for these extra prints before placing your order.

Can I use my available credits when I place an additional order?

Yes! Available print credits will be automatically applied to your additional orders.

Is there a cap to the number of photo credits I can accrue in my Mootsh membership?

No. As long as your account remains active your unused print and shipping credits will simply accumulate in your account. What is required to remain active? Keep your payment information up to date so that your monthly renewal charge can be completed!
