Set up free and premium photos

You can give a client some photos free and sell the rest. A premium photo shows with your watermark and a "Premium" badge until it is bought; after that it shows clean and downloads as the original.

Choose how a gallery starts

There are three ways: all photos free, all premium, or the first N photos free. Set your studio's default in the store settings, and change it for one gallery on its Settings tab.

"First N free" counts the visible photos in gallery order, leaving out photos you have set by hand.

Change sets and single photos

  1. Open the gallery's Photos tab. Premium photos are marked.
  2. Select photos and use Free or premium to set them by hand. A photo's own choice wins over its set's, and a set's over the gallery's.
  3. Set a whole set free or premium, for example the haldi free and the reception premium.

Set the prices

  • Switch the store on for the gallery and choose its price sheet.
  • Sell a single photo, a bundle of a number of photos the buyer picks, a set, or the whole gallery.
  • On the gallery's Settings tab you can give this gallery its own price for one photo and for the whole gallery.
  • Prices are in rupees with GST included; GST is worked out on each line.
  • 0% commission on every sale, and 3% + GST on our keys, only on those payments. Use your own Razorpay and pay us nothing. A sale you mark paid by UPI or cash carries no fee.

What the client sees

  • Premium photos with your watermark, a "Premium" badge, no download, and "Buy this photo".
  • They pay by UPI to your UPI id (you mark the order paid), or online on your own Razorpay keys, or on our keys once your payout account is active and we have switched them on.
  • Bought photos show clean and download as the original, even when the gallery's downloads are off.

Questions

Can a client get a premium photo without paying?

No. Until it is bought, only the watermarked sizes are sent, and its download is refused.

What does the watermark say?

Your logo when you have one, or your text, at the position, size and opacity you choose in the store settings. Empty text uses the studio name.
