CashPayToday (Dollar General & More): Step-by-Step to Make a Cash Deposit for Holman
CashPayToday lets you deposit cash for someone at Holman without needing a debit or credit card. Alabama DOC lists over 800 statewide locations - including Dollar General and Family Dollar - so you can handle it while running errands.
Set up your CashPayToday account at cashpaytoday.com before heading to the store. This step isn't optional - if you show up without registering first, the cashier won't be able to process your payment.
Add the person you're sending money to as a recipient in the CashPayToday system before visiting a payment location. This connects your cash payment to the right inmate account at Holman.
After registration, CashPayToday gives you a barcode for your payment. Print it out or pull it up on your phone - either works at participating locations.
Note: Retailers can have their own checkout rules. Bring what you’d normally bring for an in-store payment, and be ready to follow the store’s instructions at the register.
- Go to the register and present your barcode - show the printed barcode or the barcode on your phone.
- Tell the clerk you’re making a “VANILLA DIRECT PAY” bill payment - using that exact phrase helps the cashier ring it up the right way.
- Tell them how much you’re sending - the cashier will enter the amount for your cash payment.
- Get and keep your receipt - hang onto it in case you need to confirm the transaction later.
Speed is a big reason people choose retail cash deposits. CashPayToday deposits to Holman generally post within 24 hours, while mailed deposits can take up to a week. If commissary day is coming up, that faster window matters.
Tip: Keep the store receipt until you’re sure the funds have been credited to the inmate’s account.
