Client gallery
For weddings, families, babies, studio or business shoots, all photos belong to one client. The client gallery shows them under a single code, sorted into albums. One code. All photos. Neatly sorted.
At a glance
- Pixalo creates the gallery code automatically when you create the shoot.
- Albums organize the photos, for example ceremony, party and couple shoot. Clients see them as tabs.
- The client only sees the gallery once the shoot is Active.
The order type decides when you create the shoot whether it runs as a client gallery. See Choose the order type.
Volume
Many people, each with their own gallery: school, kindergarten, sport, staff. One code per person.
