How to Use CashPayToday to Deposit Cash for Someone at Easterling (register, barcode, pay)
Need to add money for someone at Easterling but don't have a debit or credit card? CashPayToday is the walk-in, pay-with-cash option Alabama DOC lists for deposits. Once you've registered and generated your barcode, the process is straightforward.
Alabama DOC offers four ways to send money to someone in custody: online through AccessCorrections, by phone, cash at a CashPayToday retail location, or mailing a money order with a deposit coupon. CashPayToday is your best bet when you only have cash and want to pay in person. It's also faster than mailing a money order - funds typically post within 24 hours instead of waiting up to a week for mail to arrive and process.
For Alabama deposits, CashPayToday locations include stores you probably already visit: Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7‑Eleven. You're not mailing cash - you're paying at the register using a barcode tied to the person you're depositing for.
Before heading to any store, register yourself and the recipient online. CashPayToday requires this step before you visit a payment location - show up without registering and the cashier won't have what they need to process your deposit. One important change: as of August 1, 2025, new CashPayToday registrations go through Access Corrections on their website. Start there if you're creating a new account or adding recipients for the first time.
Heads up: As of August 1, 2025, new CashPayToday registrations are handled by Access Corrections on their website.
After registering, generate the barcode you'll use to pay. CashPayToday locations accept either a printed barcode or a barcode image on your phone. Worried about cell service or a cracked screen? Print a copy to avoid a second trip. A clear image on your phone works fine too.
- ✓ Generate your barcode after you register
- ✓ Save the barcode image on your phone, or print a paper copy
- ✓ Bring your barcode to the register (phone or paper)
- ✓ Bring cash for the amount you want to deposit
At checkout, show your barcode to the cashier and tell them how much you're sending. They'll scan it, take your cash, and process the deposit.
CashPayToday isn't your only option. You can also send money online through AccessCorrections, deposit by phone, or mail a money order with a deposit coupon. Have a card? Access Secure Deposits (AccessCorrections) accepts Visa and MasterCard online, and they offer a bilingual phone line at 866-345-1884 for phone deposits.
Thinking about mailing a money order instead? Keep the daily limit in mind - Alabama DOC caps mailed money order deposits at $900.00 per day.
