Frequently asked questions

This FAQ document is designed to assist employees in learning more about Shutterfly's new partnership with Rain. If you have additional questions about the program after reviewing this FAQ, please contact Rain directly by phone, (424-369-7246), or email, care@rain.us.

Who is "Rain" and what service do they provide?
Rain is a financial wellness benefit offered by Shutterfly. Through the Rain app, employees can access their earned wages before their regularly scheduled payday.
When will Rain be available to Shutterfly employees?
Rain will be available to employees beginning Monday, October 26th, 2026.
How does Rain work?
Through the Rain App, employees make a request to receive up to 50% of their earned wages before their scheduled payday. The amount of advanced pay is then deducted from the employee's next paycheck. The pay advance is not deemed a loan and no interest is assessed.
Is Rain a loan?
Rain is not a loan, and there are no fees other than the small advancement fee of $3.49 for instant transfers. There is no interest. The money advanced from Rain is the money that an employee has earned at work. Anything advanced will be deducted from the employee's next paycheck.
Where do earned wages come from?
Shutterfly signed up for Rain so that employees can access wages from the Rain app. Earned wage information comes directly from Shutterfly. Employees will see earned wages in the Rain app within 24 hours of a completed shift.
Why has Shutterfly partnered with Rain?
When the immediate need for funds occurs between paychecks, Rain can provide employees with alternatives to high interest rate payday loans and high overdraft fees.
How does Rain transfer pay advance funds to employees and what is the cost?

• ACH transfer to any bank account (1–3 business days): FREE

• Instant transfer to an external debit card: $3.49 fee per transfer

- Fee is adjusted from the next paycheck, not the transfer


Who is eligible to participate in Rain?

Rain is available to all active Shutterfly employees aged 18 and older. Employees on a leave of absence are not eligible until they return to active status.

Is the amount that is eligible for a pay advance ("eligible pay") calculated the same way for hourly and salaried employees?
Hourly employees: For pay advance purposes, eligible pay is always calculated based on the employee's hourly wage rate.

Salaried employees: Eligible pay is calculated to an hourly rate using a formula that is based on the employee's annual salary.**

The employee's annual salary is converted to a bi-weekly salary (annual salary divided by 26 paychecks annually), then to a daily salary (bi-weekly salary divided by 14 days in the pay period), then to an hourly salary (daily salary divided by 24 hours in a day). For pay advance purposes, a salaried employee then accrues eligible pay every 4 hours throughout the pay period. For example, an employee with a $50,000 salary will accrue $5.72 every hour, 24/7.
How soon after an (hourly) employee's shift will Rain be notified of the employee's punches?
Rain receives employee's punch data multiple times per day, and the Rain app will reflect a balance of pay that can be advanced. Therefore, wages will be reflected in the Rain app within 24 hours of the employee's shift ending.
How will the Rain advance appear on an employee's pay stub?
The total amount transferred during each pay period will be shown as a separate line-item deduction with the code RAIN.
How do I get started with Rain?
Download the free "Rain Instant Pay" App from the Apple App Store or Google Play store. Create an account and select "Shutterfly" or "Lifetouch" as your employer, depending on which entity you are paid through. Use the email address and phone number that matches your payroll profile with Shutterfly.
How to update your contact information with Shutterfly to power my Rain App?

You may need to log in to the Shutterfly Employee Central portal to update your email and mobile phone number if Rain is unable to validate you are a current employee.

Are Shutterfly employees required to participate in Rain?
No. Rain is a voluntary optional benefit. If you do not wish to participate, no action is needed.
How does an employee cancel their enrollment in Rain if they decide to no longer participate?
Rain complies with all consumer protection guidelines, including the requirement to delete customer information at the user's request. There are 2 ways to end your enrollment in Rain: 1) Remove the link to your debit card and/or banking information and delete the app from your phone. 2) Contact Rain directly and request deletion of your account and your personal information.
