Selling prints and photos

Free and premium photos

• All free, all premium, or the first few free: for the studio, a gallery, a set or one photo. For example, the haldi free and the reception premium.
• A premium photo shows your watermark and a "Premium" badge, with no download, until it is bought. Only the watermarked sizes are sent until then.
• Once bought, it shows clean and downloads as the original, even when the gallery's downloads are off.
• Free photos are never marked.

Your price sheet

• Item kinds: a digital photo, a digital set, the full digital gallery, a print, a canvas, a framed print, an album.
• Each item has the name the buyer sees, a size, a price in rupees with GST included, the GST rate, whether it is shipped, and whether it is on sale.
• Start from a suggested sheet (a full-resolution photo, the full gallery, 8 x 12 and 12 x 18 prints, a 16 x 24 canvas and a 12 x 36 album). Every suggested price is ₹0 and switched off: nothing is on sale until you type your own price.
• Switch the store on for a gallery and choose its sheet.

How a buyer orders

1. They open Shop prints in the gallery, choose a photo and an item. Prints take a quantity; whole-gallery items are bought without a photo.
2. At checkout: name, a mobile number (any country), an optional email, and an address with PIN code only when something is shipped.
3. The order gets a number (ORD/2026-27/0001, a new series each financial year) and waits for payment.
4. Once paid, they get a WhatsApp confirmation, and download links to the original files on their order page.

Payments

• UPI to your own UPI id: the buyer sees a UPI link and QR code with the order number as the note, and you mark the order paid.
• Online through Razorpay (UPI, cards and the rest of Razorpay Checkout), on your own keys, or on our keys once your payout account is active and we have switched them on. On our keys the platform collects, keeps its fee, and Razorpay pays your share to your bank account through Razorpay Route.
• No card details are stored by the platform; Razorpay Checkout takes them.

0% commission on every sale, and 3% + GST on our keys, only on those payments. Use your own Razorpay and pay us nothing. Orders you mark paid by UPI or cash carry no fee.

Keeping a gallery longer

• Clients can pay you to keep a gallery open after its closing day. You set a price for each length, from 1 month to 2 years. A length with no price is not sold, and the offer starts switched off.
• The offer shows on the gallery in its last 30 days. For 30 days after the gallery closes, its link still opens to offer more time, and nothing else.
• Paying adds the time to the closing day, or to today once that has passed. It is paid like a print, and you are told. The client gets a receipt by email.

After the order

Your order list shows each order with its buyer, gallery, total and status, filters by status, and the paid total this month. Move an order to in production, shipped (with the courier and tracking number), delivered, cancelled or refunded.
