How to Order Photo Prints using the Walgreens app

Although it is easy to share photos from your iPhone using the Share functions in the Photos app, there are occasions when you need to order prints that you can give to older parents or holiday cards that you send during the holiday season.  

Using the Walgreens app, you can select and order prints directly from your phone.  After the process is set up, you will find this easy and convenient and will allow you to pick up your prints at the store in often less than an hour.  

Also, you don’t have to transfer your photos by sitting at the kiosk they provide in the store for this purpose.  

This Nugget will walk you through the steps.

 

 

 

Before you Order

There are a few setup steps before you can start placing your orders.

  1. Create an account at Walgreens.com.  Get started by clicking on Account in the upper right corner and choose Register and enter your name, email and password.
  2. Install the Walgreens app from the Apple App store.
  3. Log in to the app using your account information.  
  4. Look for a photos discount coupon code on Walgreens.com website.  Use Safari or your favorite browser and go to https://photo.walgreens.com to go directly to the Photo center.  Look on this page for deals.  Click through to find the coupon code and write it down so that you can use it in the app.  Coupon codes will not be offered during the order process.
