Hi Tim,

I'd like to be able to use multiple currencies, allowing the shopper to select their currency or use geo ip rules to set it for them.

I was thinking of installing a second sytist set for a second currency (installed in a different sub domain on the same primary domain. It would be a bit of a hassle to set up with the same products in two different databases but is something I'm seriously considering. Is there any discount for a second license to be used on the same domain?

Thanks,
Jim

when someone sends a request to access a gallery we get notification to allow them.. I don't like to screen these request because I never know who or what relationship they have with the client of the gallery... this is the reason the gallery is password protected...

Feature Request : be allowed to assign a email address to each gallery so that we can put the clients email there...... This way when a request comes in the Client / owner of the gallery will get the request and they can give them the password to their gallery or screen them. .. If no email in entered then the request can come to the admin. This way we don't have to ask the client if it is ok to allow access to their gallery.. This feature would be especially good for photographers who do boudoir photography ... I wouldn't want personal private images of my clients to get out especially in this type of photography... Plus I'm sure the clients would appreciate these kind of pics to get out either .... What do you think?

Sytist has many great features.
But I miss 2 core functionalities for selling images, that are essential for us:

- building hierarchical-structures to sell (licenses) of images
- a good search functionality over ALL photos

I am using this as my main sales tool now! some way of getting reports and sales .

trying to go through order now to find out who hasn't ordered on an event and it is really hard when you can't filter the list in any way.

Thanks

Edited by

Similar to the above, I would like to get a sales report per gallery. I need to know how well each event sells,

Edited by

Its been mentioned before but I would like the following discount and promotional offers added ...
1. . Buy n get 1 free. For some prints we do an offer of buy two get one free, so the option of offering being add this as a discount option would be useful. The customer could not add it unless the condition had been met, or if we set up , for example, buy 2 get 1 free, every 3rd one is automatically priced at zero (or an offer price)

2. Free gift. We offer a free gift for orders over a certain value. An option to prevent an item (free or otherwise) being added unless the basket total >= ?x would be great

3. A variation on tiered pricing such that additional items could be offered a a reduced rate. Eg The first print is ?15, the all additional ones are ?10 or 1 is ?15, 2-10 are ?10 each, 11 and up are ?5 each.

Edited Mon Aug 17, 15 3:51 PM by David King

A similar idea to David's #2 item: I would like to be able to offer an Early Bird special which is a free ITEM rather than a discount.

Ideally this would be a photo item from our price list (or store) which would then ask them to choose a photo when they've reached the minimum purchase - sort of like incomplete packages do.

Hello Tim. Back From VaCA and ready for another great season! I wrote a while back. Below is the link to the post for a feature request.

http://www.picturespro.com/support-forum/sytist/index.php?t=20923-subscription-feature

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Happy Developing.

Edited by

Maybe a forum feature would be handy too: The ability to "upvote" someone else's suggestions :-)

Edited by

Copy an Option to different items in Store or Buy pages.

Thanks.

Edited by

Tiered Pricing :)

Edited by

Tim,

I think Sytist is a great tool for what I have paid for it, but if I could have more I will always manage to find something else to ask for

1. I need to be able to sell watermarked and un-watermarked versions from the website for immediate fulfillment of digital images *Critical*

2. For me the sales total is after discount, currently reading stats is misleading - maybe an option so we can choose? *Critical*

3. I would like to have total sales figures with each gallery just like Photocart - gives me full oversight of good and bad jobs *Critical*

4. Default splash pages (multiple pages) i.e. for each category I could have a different splash page. *Medium priority*

5. Bulk email control, i.e. my web server will only allow 100 emails an hour so it is difficult to email all those that have viewed a gallery *Low priority*

6. Discounts / Coupons valid against a particular product *Medium priority*

7. In Photocart I could see a stat for total images uploaded to the gallery. *Low priority*

8. The possibility to email all those with active shopping carts over a date range i.e. not email those already emailed *Low priority*

9. Paid for discounted price list i.e. customer pays a fee for 12 months on VIP price list *Needs customer research first*

10. A way to bulk add to paid for access galleries *Medium priority*

I know that my request for some features may be unique, for others not possible, but then there are the others. You can not develop all of what everybody wants but maybe if there was a poll here for most sought after features you could target your efforts to the most popular.

Many thanks for all the help and support over the years

Please consider adding a way to automate or streamline sending the "warning" emails when a gallery is about to expire.

(As seen in this thread: https://www.picturespro.com/support-forum/sytist/?t=20678-automate-the-gallery-expiring-emails#23106)

Edited by

To David King & Michael Weeks: You can get some statistics of how much was sold from a gallery already - when viewing the gallery in admin, click "Stats".

Edited by

@Michael L; yes but, unless I'm missing something, those stats are for the last 30 days only.

Edited Thu Aug 20, 15 4:37 AM by David King

Have an option for downloads to have it be "completed" without having to upload the files. I use dropbox instead of your system because i want to be able to upload and change files on the fly.

I am not sure how you can do it but I'm looking for a tick box that says "Upload override- redirect to url for download" or something like that

Where I can plug in their dropbox file and they can manage it.

Edited Wed Aug 19, 15 9:59 PM by Alicia Williams

I like the reports the way the Photocart does them. I miss that.

It would be great to do an invoice for Orders that had tax for June-Dec and have it show just those orders, to pay state salestax.

Another feature that might be a bit obscure, but would ROCK would be to have files labeled with a 2 or 3 letter code at the end as we do them at events, with the photographer's initials. Then to have the site create a report showing how much of a certain photographer's photos sold from a specific event. I use a viewing software on site at events and that one feature saves me hours and hours of post event calculations.

Edited by

My two penneth (it would have been three but you added in the default text for galleries this time around - yay!)

1. I would like the gallery price to reflect an early bird offer rather than showing the standard price.

Some clients dont listen to us and dont read the information we send - they look at our standard price and declare we are too expensive. If the early bird rate was shown instead we would sell more

ie - if I sell something as standard for ?100 but offer 25% off with an early purchase - I would like the price to reflect this and say ?75 until the early bird expires and then revert back to the standard price.

2. I would love a system for a 'champion product' that highlights something that is the best deal ever - I know pop up boxes can cause issues but if when they log in they get presented with a reminder of this special with a link to add it to the basket that would be great

Thanks in advance
Pete

I knew there was another.

recent Shares is wasted on me as I have sharing turned off but something that is nearly important as Orders for me is the status of the Montage Proofs that I have placed for customers. If the status of those could be on my Admin page that would be great and bin the Shares.

Mike

Edited Fri Aug 21, 15 12:27 PM by Michael Weeks

An all-powerful search box.

Please set up the main "Admin" search box to look through everything site-wide: tags, gallery names, clients, and orders. It would be so useful to be able to see all our points of contact with someone from a search like that.

It is at times frustrating to have to open a drop-down menu (People, or Orders) and try to click in the search box and type something because if the mouse slides the whole thing vanishes.

EDIT: the search box also doesn't search partial text, which can be frustrating. If I tag something in the plural (composites) and search for the singular (composite) I get no search results. I don't think that's a big coding change but it would be a huge improvement in the usability of the search tools.

Edited Fri Aug 28, 15 12:04 PM by Michael Leenheer

Can there be a feature where we can add photos to any gallery by means of automated process like folder sync , like Drop Box.
That way , if i add a photo to a certain folder in drop box, it automatically gets added instantly to the gallery.

Edited by

Is there a way to either:

1. Allow people to see the pricing, but then prompt that you must be logged in to add items to your cart when they attempt to add the items to their cart.
or
2. Place the "you must login to view options and add purchases to your cart to alongside the photo (like the cart options are when they are logged in) rather than the little message in the upper right corner?

I am finding customers are not seeing and I kept getting calls asking how to purchase this so I had to change back to password protecting the sections; which in turn has caused a bunch of unnecessary accounts from extended family.

Edited by

I know we have a "must buy from this category" before buying from others, is there a way to extend that so that you can make only a specific category linked to that category. Example, can buy print collections, canvas, metal, but cannot buy digital images until you purchase from the prints collection. Or cannot buy from a specific category until you have a minimum of $xxx in purchases? Example: spend $xxx and then be able to add products from this category.

Edited Sat Aug 22, 15 11:19 AM by Ryan O

Tim been very happy with the product as well as your support when we have issues!!

1. What we would like to see added is a way to have different logos for different events. Figure we handle a lot of sporting events where we have different sponsors, if we could streamline the logo addition when importing/offering free/logo downloads it would be great!!

2. A way to have the watermark separate from the actual image. That way if we accidentally checked the watermark or didn't check it we wouldn't have to upload and process them all over again!

3. Coupons specific to products, figure we like to offer different coupons, but not being able to limit where it can be used doesn't help!! I understand you can have products that do not apply coupon or discount but that doesn't help us!!

4. On the back end a way to edit the mobile version in the template, figure some things just don't look right in mobile.

5. Also a better way to track tax and sales. Which looks like it was requested before would be a better way for sales statistics. Some I am very happy with what you have so far, but there are a few things missing!!

Thanks for everything you have done this is a great product!!


One more thing that I just realized while editing a few pages. A way to disable the caption being shown on slideshows. So maybe a checkbox that enable/disables it in the gallery? Would hate to remove captions that will help with SEO if we don't want them viewed with the photos. Thanks!

Edited Sat Aug 22, 15 12:14 PM by Geoffrey Bolte

1. I would love the option to have an automated "Your gallery is expiring soon" email that we could set to send automatically 24 hours before gallery expiration to any email that has logged in to view the gallery.

2. I really, really miss the "add to package" option from the thumbnail view. It is much easier for clients to add a set of 15 digital files, then pop back out to thumbnail view and click the icon to add image to package. The way it is now they have to click into each image and choose...it's clunky, especially if a client doesn't want to choose those 15 files right at that moment.

Thanks for considering.

Edited by

I would love a file from all gallerie orders, so I can pull together the files automatically on my end.

On my old cart they had a program where a file downloaded and I pulled it into PS and it automatically pulled the files from the gallery for me, and I just uploaded them.

It saved HOURS of my life pulling one file at a time to order.

Edited by

Hi

I wish there was an option for adding png's of different framings as preview overlay for my prints. It would help my customers to find the right framing for theire picture.

Edited by

Hi Tim,

2 more requests:

1. I know that clients can add collection options when selecting the collection, is there a way to add or remove those options after they have added everything to their cart. I often find that clients want to add or remove options (changed their minds) and then get frustrated if they have to start all over.

2. A continuation of the first. I find clients want to upgrade their collection and get frustrated when they have to start over. Is there a way to allow collection upgrading. Example they upgrade and if the same products are listed in the upgrade it keeps them in the cart as part of the new upgraded collection, only removing or adding a warning red triangle etc. if that item is not part of the larger collection?

Ryan

Edited by

Love the system in general. Just a few add ons I would love to have.

1. I would love an add on to the form detail...even if it was an extra option we paid for so that the forms could be more detailed and include signatures like machform. I hate having to add all session fees from my machform sign ups manually into sytist and having an additional software is just a pain. I would love a machform-like feature we could use.
2. I miss the orders having a count of how many pictures purchased and how many prints on them. It was very handy for double checking orders before being made with the lab.
3. I would love an automatic expiring gallery notice that would be sent out 1 - 2 days before the gallery expires. If forget to do this myself at times if it is a busy week.

Edited by

To expand on Usula's request 3. Auto notifications for gallery expiring and also for early bird expiring.

Edited by

allow more than 999 photos to be uploaded at a time. I have a wedding with 1300 and I exceeded the limit for upload :( I resize them too.

Edited by

Be able to include some shop items, such as personalised keyrings, mugs etc that require prints in the price list that appears alongside the print. Rather than expect the user to go to the shop, add the product and then go to the gallery to choose the images. It would be much simpler if the item appeared alongside the images. with the other purchase options.

Edited by

Feature 1: When a customer/s login it takes them straight to their gallery.

Feature 2: Expired Gallery Notice - with an option to purchase more time.

Feature 3: Like/Hide Button for each photo so gallery owners can manage what photos are shown.

LOVE SYTIST!!! Thanks Tim!!!

Edited by

I would like to add a vote for Eric's second and third request, both would increase revenue for us photographers and timely orders. Sytist completely blows photocart out of the water and I look forward to seeing the direction you take with it Tim. I would also like to add that I love that you actually care and listen to what we can use to make this the best tool for us!

Edited by

Adding reports for galleries, this has taken up the most amount of time besides fulfillment, using the excel sheet to sort orders for shipping. The work around I've used is creating a custom shipping option for each event and sorting by that, but it's still a pain.

Lab integration would be huge!! Would definitely be willing to pay for that, but understand that might be difficult with a self-hosted website.

Edited by

Hi Tim

I have a section on my website where I want to be able to charge individuals to view each gallery.
I cannot see this working unless I keep the price low and offer an incentive.
Is there any way I can, lets keep this simple, charge ?1 to view the album and issue a credit for this.
Then when they have viewed three albums, and have three credits be able to get a free (3 credit) download?

I don't think there is any way of doing this on the current version?

Edited by

this may be a reach but maybe a feature added to the account creation so someone can join a mailchimp mailing list when they create their account to receive special offers?

Edited by

Collection image notes would be of great use, is there a way to add this in, they seem to work on individual images, but not for collections or collection images? I added a notes section (which is a temporary fix), however they are not able to edit or add their notes after adding an item even when viewing their cart.

Hello there,
I have the following requests / suggestions:

a.) At the moment I still use another photographer system in which you can let generate QR codes, which are then subsequently printed as a card and include the access code for future gallery (the codes are stored in the background). If you then, for example, photographing a kindergarten, the child is first photographed with the QR Code and then the child, then the next with the QR Code and so on. The group shots have no QR Code and are visible to all in the folder and all other photos are organized so that I can upload all the photographs of the children at a time and getting the photos after the QR Code to get the parents of each gallery display. I hope I could explain it understandable.

b.) It would be great if you could create coupon codes that are avoidable only certain your categories. I would for example like to do action where I give a discount of X on canvas screens, this may however be applied only in this category werden.Oder I sell Birth cards through the shop, and here it might give X% but only there. Of course it would be great if the customer buys in much upselling and all vouchers may be used as long as it has a product from each category.

c the dispatch of automatic reminder emails when the galleries expire.).

Here are a couple of feature requests:

1. From each client gallery I would love to be able to export a summary of images ordered, options (b+w, borders & finish etc.), sizes and notes etc. without client information, into an excel or CSV file. This would be great with just the image number and not the gallery location so as to be able to import it into Lightroom.
2. I would love to have the option for the images to be uploaded and initially filtered or viewed as black and white images.
3. I would like to see a filter option on the Order tab to be able to sort by each client gallery or at least view each client galleries orders independently.
4. Multiple select and move images in the 'photo display order' in the galleries

Many thanks

Simon

I can't embed an external link in a Section Preview but I can in a Page (Content) Preview.

Featured Sections & Featured Content previews present themselves differently (Content under Sections) on the home page and may present a jumbled appearance when both are used.

My request is to either allow external links in Sections or allow Featured Sections and Featured Content to show seamlessly (beside each other) on the Homepage.

Allow your order form (UNDER ORDERS ON THE CART) to say at the top above the images "Downloads, PRINTS, AND # of Images"

I get so confused when it says "8 prints" on my order, but I have 7 images and 8 prints in my cart. When someone orders a photo more than once its hard to keep track and each time i have to go back and triple check someone ordered something twice.

I have uploaded photos of what my cart shows me and what your invoice shows me.

Reports

Currently the reports are based around the calendar year but most of us have will have different accounting years and it might be nice to be able to set that as the default

Mike

Edited by

1. Privacy Option: a client can opt for certain photos to be private (often times they don't share with family because there are a couple photos they don't like).

2. Coupon codes for specific items-- I know this has been mentioned, just seconding my vote.

Edited by

Tim thought of something today.

Would love to be able to do a recurring payment/subscription package type deal. Where it is automated. I know stripe can handle it, can you institute it into Sytist? Figure we have a few clients that pay monthly/quarterly. Also would allow us to offer a payment plan on some of our larger packages. Thanks!

Edited by

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the creating this thread. Will add the suggestions to here as and when I have any:

1. To display BUY ALL as a single item in the invoice instead of displaying all the images.
2. When sending email from client gallery, the current default is turn on for people who have access to the page etc... it will be good to set the default off so that we don't accidentally send out messages to people unnecessary.

I would like to be able to view and see who my best customers are as I do a lot of repeat business i.e. order customers by sales

I would also like to be able to easily find any deactivated accounts

Mike

Edited by

I briefly browsed this section so hopefully I am not already repeating a request. I would love to have the ability to set a Buy All (such as the digital files, or a 5x7, etc.) to only be allowed to purchase after a minimum order requirement is met through my standard a la carte prints and collections.

Also, the ability to duplicate a section would be great!

Edited Thu Sep 24, 15 7:06 AM by Tara Brooks

I would like to see the gallery association in the compiled order area. As a school and portrait photographer, often I am trying to pull orders from different schools at a glance. It would be beneficial for me to be able to look at the orders area instead of having to go to each gallery and click on stats, total, etc.

Thanks for your consideration

Edited by

It would be useful to be able to assign an email template to an order status. So that when an order is set to that status the email is automatically sent (or a yes/no option is displayed to confirm)

Edited by

Hello All.
I had a look at the requests and hopefully I did not overlook any similar requests. If I did, my apologies.
I would like to see a calendar based booking system feature in the sytist application.
1. This would enable a potential client to check the availability of and book a photographer for their event.
2. Allow a photographer to track their bookings, time and set their availability

Hi Tim

Just created an account to offer my two cents. I am nearly ready to jump in and purchase your product which I have been getting accustom to. Two things I would like to see in this program and I know I will probably have more suggestions once I get it and go live.
But till then:
1. the ability to have orders be sent automatically to print labs for order fulfillment through you upgrading your software. Maybe including software for our particular labs we use so that we can bridge the gap. Not sure about the logistics for this though. I prefer to work with local professional labs but am not against using major U.S. labs as well. For me that is the only major change that would send this program over the top and complete my list of what I am looking for in such software. I would rank this at number one on my wish list.

2. our option to show first time guests (through IP address maybe) in the home page, or just galleries, or any page, a dialog box to accept a notification that indicates that all images are copyrighted, etc. Something like your cookies dialog box but a small dialog box for copyright notice. I know this will not prevent anyone from attempting to copy images but at least we did our PSA. This is not at the top of my wish list but something I was thinking about. Such notice is usually at the bottom of the page which no one really pays attention. Just like to bring it to the forefront and have guests and customers know.

Again thank you for developing a strong software and am looking forward to jumping into it really soon.

Gill

Edited by

@Gill Valls: your item #1 is a very in-depth bit of software development. I'm not involved in developing Sytist in any way but I had a bit of an inside view in one lab's efforts to develop software for this purpose and it is VERY complicated. One part of the issue is that as a photographer you can not create your own products on the site -- you need to download the product list from the lab you select or you will end up with products in your catalog that the lab can't create.

Your option #2 is already possible by using the "Splash Window" option on photo galleries and pages - Tim is ahead of you on that one!

Edited by

Hi Michael

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. It goes without saying that software development is complicated. I am not a software developer and just offering ideas for those who are experienced in this field to ponder the possibility. I believe in one post early this year Tim was looking into the possibility of such an option and another poster suggesting ROES software. However, if it is not possible at this time that is fine. Not the end of the world.

As for #2 I will look into that.

Kind Regards
Gill

Request: Sample / Preview Photo as part of the "Sub Products" in a Store item.

What I would like to have is an image that refreshes as they change the options they select. For example if I create a t-shirt product in my store, and the shirt comes in crew-neck and v-neck style, when they click the style button the preview photo could update based on the chosen option.

Edited by

Hi Tim,
Rather than the add photo icon, I think it would be easier for my client if there was an add to cart or add this photo button, like we had in Photocart. I know some of my clients will not know what to click on to order a particular image.

Please add range pricing for Buy Alls like in Photocart
EXAMPLE:
In Photocart I had tiered pricing set up with range pricing, that was a cost for all images that changed when the # of photos in a gallery increased.

Price
Range Pricing
From To Price
5 to 12 $25.00
13 to 24 $45.00
25 to 99 $89.00
100 to 200 $100.00
201 + $150.00

Hi,
I also would like to have external links in sections.
It would be nice to be able to feature a specific page, not just sections on the home page.

Strange, I'm not seeing my post here! I'll post again! These are in my priority request order.

1. Tiered pricing like already posted
2. Batch move orders to custom statuses
3. Batch re-upload adjusted images
4. Ability to send email only to those who viewed gallery who HAVE NOT placed order
5. Have "required purchase from group" be on a sub group vs main group. i.e., you can only purchase from this group if you buy from ANY other group.
6. Ability or organize product base in sub groups

Hi Tim,

Would it please be possible to have an option when viewing a proofing page in admin and filter so only the images which have comments are shown ? I use proofing pages a lot with my customers so they can request revisions and it would be really handy to see just them ones they have requested rather than having to scroll though all the images. If there could be radio buttons or tick boxes to show all images, those with revisions, all unapproved images and all approved images it would be really helpful.

Thanks

Jason

Edited by

It would be great to have some sort of zoom feature. So clients can hover their mouse over the images and only see a little bubble of zoomed detail. Of course the source of the zoom would need to somehow be obfuscated so it can't be retrieved.

I've got into the habit of only putting up smaller sized thumbs as I've come across a lot of my images that have simply been screen grabbed. I know they can still do the same, but now it's pretty poor quality if they do.

Edited by

Ability to restrict search & replace to current gallery so images that happen to have the same name, but totally unrelated don't get replaced!

Edited by

I didn't read all of the posts above but one of the first was a name search over all of the photos and galleries of the site and this would be very important for me, too. Please make it happen!

Edited by

Hello,
to me it would be very important the possibility to have the possibility to assign only a selected payment for a gallery,for instance to a dance school give only the possibility to pay only at school and not with other methods,like paypal or bank transfer.
Thanks

Edited by

Please add ability to duplicate a photo product in the store and all its options. Usage: when designing a product that has several options AND has multiple design versions of the same type of product (like photo cards) it would be way easier to dupe the product and all it's options and then simply change out the design/version photo.

Edited by

Might be a long shot but could you add an online sign up feature similar to Sign Up Genius or mysignup.com? I'd be willing to pay extra for a feature like this. Styist already acts as my website, customer gallery and ordering. If I could add a calendar that customers could sign up for time slots and pre-pay for sessions that would be fantastic. I currently use mysignup.com which I can link to from my Stytist website but it's very basic. Sign Up Genius has advanced features but they cost too much (especially the prepay options). I'd rather pay you and have it integrated in my website.

Hi,

On the orders page I would like a field to show which gallery/subgallery the order is from. Perhaps even the option to sort the data by order number or gallery.
Why?
I photograph schools/nurseries.
When the orders come in on the orders page I have no way of knowing which order is from which school/nursery.
Each school has its own deadline that I batch the orders together to send off to the printers. Currently, I have to repeatedly drill down into hundreds of orders to check and double check I have got all the right orders batched together.

Edit: I've just seen this issue has already been raised by another photographer in my field.

Hi Tim,

Have you given consideration to add text messaging to Cell(mobile) numbers functionality?

As the majority of customers use their mobile devices it would seem to be a sensible next step option. It would also alleviate the issue we constantly have with e-mails arriving in Junk/Spam folders and the customer not realising they are there.

Kind regards

Simon

Hi Tim.

So far I love this product... and I do have a couple of things that would make this product more valuable to me:

1. Recurring Invoices - I love the fact that you can setup invoices and give individuals the option to pay with Credit Card. But as a wedding photographer I have many customers who like to sign up for monthly payment plans. A feature to setup a recurring invoice to occur on a set basis (say once a month) for the same amount... etc would be awesome! (and probably not too difficult to implement... right?)

2. Contract Signing. Maybe this one is not appropriate but would be great for me or anyone that deals with signed contracts. Maybe something similar to CudaSign.

I would like to require clients to be logged in in order to add to cart, but still be able to view the products and images without being logged in. Also to set this on buy and store pages which do not have a price list. This would allow me to contact customers who have put items in their cart, but not checked out

Point 3.

I also require a summary of sales from all sub galleries within a gallery to calculate a clients commission.
Hopefully, I'll have some time to look at the database over the next fortnight and create an sql script for it.

I would REALLY love to see the orders come in more organized by Print Size,

4x6,

5x7

8x10

Digital Prints

I find it really hard to put in orders and toggle back and forth making sure I don't miss anything. When I pull the orders up my clients go back and forth between 4x6 and 5x7

This would also go hand and hand with the feature of saying 12 prints, 10 images (so you know that an image was ordered more than once.

I'd also love to see the columns and number of prints ordered on the order sheet not so far apart, or placed closer to the print size.

Maybe make the spacing between each print order smaller too, that would help!


Having them all grouped by size would help SO SO SO MUCH!

My clients are also consfused by the "buy all" item.

They click on a photo and say "Buy all" but they think they are only buying that one photo for $250 even though I have it saying they get ALL iamges.

There must be a better way

We service many schools and we would like for parents to be able to order from various galleries all in one cart. For example, school portraits, sport portraits, prom portraits, etc. They used to be able to order from multiple galleries, but now it will only allow them to order from galleries with the same price lists. This creates an issue because people only want to check out once. Today I lost a sale because of that.

Please consider reinstating this option. I understand what you said about people choosing different images from different galleries but this has never been a problem in the past.

thank you

Really need RSS feed option. Our non profit is now podcasting. RSS is vital to our progress!

Have options that are available for collections that can only be selected once within that collections. e.g.. I'm using options to have client specify where an image is to be positioned in a multi image print. It would be nice to be able to remove that option once it has been selected

Edited by

This may be a big upgrade, but it would be cool if there where collection templates that could offer multi image prints that actually showed what the template looks like and allow the clients to drag and drop images into those openings to fill their print so they can see how the final product looks. That would be awesome

Edited by

One thing that I foresee wanting to do is to offer a category of premium greenscreen backgrounds that add an extra fee to the order.

In other words, to be able to offer a group of background galleries at the standard price, and 1 or more premium background galleries that add a dollar amount to the composite image. Maybe have an option to add 1 fee per background, no matter how many images it's used with, or a separate fee for each image the background is used for.

I know a lot of event photographers doing greenscreen work tend to have their pricing set up this way.

Edited by

How about shipping options for product options. e.g.. I offer a print to be matted that wold require a higher shipping cost.

Also how about pricelist per image. I have some fine art images that have specific sizes and it would be nice to have a specific price list for them

Edited by

It would be great to have access to historical website stats. Perhaps at the end of each month, a text file is generated saving all the details from that particular month that can be accessed in a folder at the host. There are many times when I need to look at the performance of old pages.

Tim,

One of the sites I use for printing any options to possible integrate WHCC products or their system to help give my workflow a boost and to help streamline my online business. Here is their web site https://www.whcc.com/resources/integrated-services in reference to this process.

Let me know it would be great to have people order and pay and the photos go direct to the printer or fulfillment company.

Tim,

I think that the S3 hosting option is great. However when you upload photos from FTP, it doesn't organize the files that it uploads to S3, instead it puts them all in the root folder. You can imagine how hard it is to organize or even find anything on my S3. I noticed that when you upload from the web interface it creates a date folder for each upload. That would help tremendously!

would love and to have logo on purchased downloads!!!
loaded over 75,000 images this year with very little problems and your customer service is remarkable. thanks

not sure how to explain this one... I have some PSD files that are shots of frames I sell... would it be possible to do any of the following ( based on green screen concept)

1: have the client select a frame then insert the photo they want to purchase in to the frame so they can see what it would look like framed?
or (or both?)
2: have the client take a pic of the wall that they want the print to go on, upload it to the cart then see the image on top of the pic they uploaded so they can see what it looks like on their wall?*

Hello Tm, If this hasn't been asked for already, i would like to be able to sort the product base list. Right now the full list sorted by price and I would like to be able to sort by name and or size and have that sort be carried over to the price list screen when adding products to lists. It would help to have all the 4x6 and 5x7 etc. labels grouped together.

Many Thanks for a great platform!!

Edited by

Another quick one...
would it be possible to tag clients? (but we could generate our own tags)
example:
jo blogs - family
exotic sports cars - business
kevin smith - client
Bridal 123 - partner

and then filter them so we can generate a list of contact details for marketing? and bring the notes section across ;)
these details could be added on the people page

still the best platform out there!

Magnifying glass zoom feature the same as in Photocart but for Sytist. The idea is to take a small photo in a gallery and be able to zoom without having to load the 'large' version of the file.

Would it be possible to add a "Random" option on the slide show? I use a slide show on the home page and it would be great if the content could vary whenever someone visits the site.

Edited by

It would be fantastic if I could create a drop down menu with whatever links I choose, rather than just links in a specified section or category. :)

I'd love to see the ability for clients to make comments on each photo in a collection or package. I use Sytist collections mainly for album ordering, and sometimes my clients will ask me make changes to a certain picture. It would be nice if they could do that in the shopping cart instead of having to email me separately. Thanks!

Edited by

PLEASE! I'd like to be able to post notes to a gallery, notes that are visible only internally - so me and my employees can log phone calls, email dates, etc - notes on what the customer has requested photoshopped, complaints, concerns, promises, etc - so we can stay on the same page when talking to a client regarding a gallery.

Edited by

I would love to be able to "like" or vote on ideas submitted here in the request forum, maybe somehow help prioritize needs.

I service schools, and the ability for parents to order across multiple galleries and checkout all at once is desperately needed. I see someone else has posted the same need... this is a huge deal...

Thanks!!

The following would be massively beneficial to all Sytist users!

The ability to clone a page -->

Would love to be able to clone a page that is loaded with generic text, sub galleries, each with standard headings, and each with their own text and unique price lists, etc. Being able to clone pages would save massive time in not having to set each of these up when creating a new client gallery.

Uploading images -->

Would love the ability for people to upload their own images with the ability to then purchase products from a pricelist - just as though the images were being added to any gallery. Yes, some pretty fundamental issues would have to be addressed like upload destination, upload filesize maximums (and minimums), and image agreements, but these have been similarly dealt with in other areas of Sytist. All of those criteria could be set in a main control panel. The upload function could be added to forms, and the variables, including which pricelist to set the uploaded image to, could be set at the page/category level. It could then be populated dynamically much like image tags in a gallery.

Product previewing -->

As an expansion of the greenscreen idea, how about adding the ability to add standard product image files where a client could select an image from their gallery and it would overlay their image over the product (like a print in someones hand, or a print on a wall).

Editable database -->

Forms in Sytist are excellent! Would love to see them be viewable, searchable, and editable after the fact in the admin side. For example a couple filling out a wedding contract remotely, then having the ability to adjust and refine later. As a next step to that, having it attached to a customer's account so they could edit it themselves later when logged in would be gravy!

Automatic emails -->

This is a touchy one, but having the site send standard emails automatically would be amazing! For example, once images have been uploaded to a new gallery, 3 days after images are uploaded to see how things are going, a reminder email that the gallery access will be expiring in 2 days, etc. I had this feature in a custom site ten years ago and it was so helpful! It was a matter of setting up "triggers" (variables) for a category. Eg. send _X_ email -- _X_ days -- _after_ -- _gallery creation date_ -- . There were only a handful of criteria to deal with and then it was a matter of having the emails that fit the criteria be send when the clock hit 12:00am everyday. Because there would be various email going based on different criteria, there were never more than the server could handle or would look suspicious.

I would love to see image view stats on individual photos again - like photocart. We always check gallery views and see which image our clients clicked on most. Then we offer specials on that image if they did not already purchase it. It was a great sales tool to have those stats.

Edited by

Kim, I sure would too! I would like to have control over when the "tables are too big" and when this data gets purged. This helped me tremendously in Photocart.

Edited by

CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE

I would like an option per payment method which adds a percentage to the final price in order to recover my costs. For example, I would add zero if they pay by bank transfer, and 3.5% if they pay by Paypal. This is quite common in some countries/industries.

Edited by

I would like for you to devise a way to compile all orders from a setting in one report. That way, I can have the total number of orders for each image number, instead of having to look at different reports and compiling my own report. This would help minimize mistakes in compilation. I am sure other photographers could benefit from this feature as well. For example, if you have three different families ordering from one photo shoot, it would make ordering a lot easier.

Features I am missing from Photo Cart....

1.) Baby/Wedding Registries for clients to give out to their friends and family to help pay for sessions.
2.) Reports on what items off the products lists are selling more than others. So an itemized list of all items that have sold for the year.

Thanks, Tim!

I have my galleries organised by type such as

Erika, there is already a registry system in Sytist:
http://www.picturespro.com/sytist-manual/articles/registries/

And when you view the products in your Product Base, it will show you the total sold.

Would love the ability to send a cart "nudge" - reminder to clients. I have a bunch of clients with Shopping carts loaded to the top, but no one is buying! Would love to send an automated email after a set number of days that says "Don't forget you still have your shopping cart " or something like that.

I have one client just sitting on a slew of spending a lot of money and I want it!! :)

EXPORT TXT FILE of orders

I would really like to be able to export a list of orders. Not all the orders for a time period. Orders filtered by order status, or orders by page/gallery sold (i.e. when you go from page sold totals, to the list of orders).

The spreadsheet could include any information from the order that is at the order level - i.e. Customer Name, Billing Address, Shipping Address, Payment status, order status, shipping date, Tracking number, sub total, discount, sales tax, total sale, cog. etc.

This file would be used for multiple things.
1. To create shipping labels. List can be imported into label creating programs to create shipping labels. Currently I hand copy and paste each field. As you suggested I contacted other people that use the software and asked how they do this and no one had a good way. All agreed a spreadsheet would really help.
2. To total the sales outstanding - sometimes I need to know how many dollars in sales are outstanding to ship (gives me an idea of my COG outstanding)
3. Kick backs to leagues/schools etc. I provide my leagues a list of who purchases and their basket totals as a verification that I am paying them the correct amount. Also use this to create my check.
4. Sometimes I need a summary of what is outstanding for orders by status, but I don't need all the detail the order print out provides.
5. I used to have this feature and used it all the time.... These are only a couple uses.

Would also be nice if the spreadsheet included the page/gallery the sales came from or the one where the highest percentage came from.

FILTER ORDERS that are OPEN

In the orders tab - would love to have the option to view orders that have the tag "open" only. Currently the option is to see all "open orders" or those that have been assigned to other status, but there is no way to view "unassigned" or those that have not had the status changed - the ones that show status as "open". This could just be displayed on the left menu with the other statuses as "Open or unassigned" along with the other statuses.

My business process has been to review an order and then place it in the appropriate status. The order being in a status means I have started a process. There is no way for me to view orders that have not been assigned to a status (or in my case started) When there are thousands of orders in "open" I would like to be able to check to see if something has not been moved to a status. I used to also use the spreadsheet in the previous post for this.

Edited Thu Dec 03, 15 5:48 PM by Melissa

The ability to schedule emails. The ability to assign individual songs per sub gallery. (This would be very helpful for weddings!)

Would love to be able to apply a logo to paid downloads. I know the feature is available for free downloads, but not for a paid (or instant) download.

I need to be able to follow up on carts for users that are not logged in. I need clients to be able to see the prices, but then prompt that you must be logged in to add items to your cart.

Please add an option to view pricing when not logged, but must be logged in to add to cart.

I am hoping this is on your TO DO list.

Thanks Tim

I would like the ability for me to add comments to pages on project proofing. Sometimes we need to add comments or notes against requested revisions - at the moment we have to add this onto the e-mail. It would be so much better if we could add the notes on an image by image basis.

Edited by

Hi Tim!

I dont know if you guys have already talked this but I was wondering if you could add "see only client selections" in the proofing area. Sometimes I have over 700 images and scrolling through all of them to get the approve selections is a bit annoying. Again, if some how I have missed this feature please let me know :) Thanks.

(may have posted in wrong place, sorry)

I feel like these 2 issues are the only thing really holding this product from being one of the best photographer behind the scenes must haves in the biz. Please consider.

To be able to have an email subscription form which will allow me to send out specials and notifications with new blog posts. This would be great for promoting sessions and discounts and drumming up a customer base and following. When a customer signs up for their account an option to get emails, newsletter and so on. Or when a customer first comes to the website allowing a pop up option to sign up for discounts, subscriptions, newsletters and blog info.

Pricing options that allow separating prices and are collapsible within a group.
For example....
Price List 1:
Fine Art Prints: (arrow here to expand or collapse)
5x7
8x10
11x14
Fine Art Metal Prints: (arrow here to expand or collapse)
5x7
8x10
11x14
Fine Art Canvas:(arrow here to expand or collapse)
5x7
8x10
11x14
Add Ons & Products: (arrow here to expand or collapse)
Coasters
Key Chains
Acrylic Magnets

Not sure where the product options went, but it would be nice to add products to a price group as well.
For senior session I can add key chains, for school sessions, acrylic magnets and so on.

It would be amazing if we would be able to add additional credit for each option we create on a product.

Base Product = $50 Credit

OPTION 1
--- Sub-option 1 = No Credit
--- Sub-option 2 = No Credit
--- Sub-option 3 = $50 Credit
______________________________
Total Credit of Base Product with Option 1 (Sub-option 3) = $100 if purchased.

This shouldn't be too complex to implement, but would open so many possibilities for us to create awesome packages as well as sell discounted credit if purchased ahead of time, etc.

EDIT: Also, the fact that there is sub-option for each product option is awesome. And all sub options should have a credit field attached!

Here is a screenshot of how it could look like for maximum simplicity: http://alomia.ca/sy-photos/2015/12/30/10/large_cd47caeb8_Option_1_w_3_SUB-OPTIONS.png

If there is one request I could make of Sytist it would be a tweak in how the current Justified layout is generated. Rather than the current method of setting a fixed row height, I would like to see Sytist dynamically generate varying row heights and photo widths to display all of the photos in a gallery with no cropping. After spending the last month preparing my new Sytist site this is pretty much the only thing I miss about my old site. With my old site you specified a minimum row height between 60 and 400 pixels (I used 250), that way row heights would not drop below the specified threshold but they could range between that number and the maximum in order to make everything fit. If this could be incorporated into Sytist it would be fantastic, maybe giving us the option of either fixed heights as it is now or minimum heights.

Here's an example of how it looked on my old site, all four rows are being displayed at slightly different heights (with corresponding differences in image widths), everything fits and there is no cropping:


The current Sytist method for comparison, lots of cropping as can be seen by my cropped watermarks in the top row of photos:


Most of the time the effect was fairly subtle as in the example above. Sometimes it could be more dramatic (which I personally liked):

I agree with Garry Hamilton on the following

I would love to see a calendar based booking system feature in the sytist application.
1. This would enable a potential client to check the availability of and book a photographer for their event.
with online payment for retainer fee.
2. Allow a photographer to track their bookings, time and set their availability

Edited by

I have a client that had items in their cart favorites bucket and wanted to buy "All" of them. She kept clicking the "Buy all button" and was very annoyed it meant buy the entire batch from the gallery just not the 30 she selected.

I think to fix this, you could do two "buy all favorites" button and a "Buy all in gallery" button.

I spent two days telling her to stop clicking BUY ALL. :)

Edited by

OOPS I accidentally added this to the common thread. Is there a way to add Square as a payment option?

Edited by

I would love to have the minimum order by gallery back as we did in Photocart. I have a client that needs to spend more than my minimum amount based on a special agreement, but I hate having to make an entire new price list just for her. Also, when you change price lists in a shopping cart (I have one of my base price lists with and without a minimum order) then I have to clear their cart and reinput everything in their cart if I change their price list to the no minimum order one. I sometimes have to do this if a client is ordering cards or announcements in a hurry and the rest of their order later on. Thanks Tim!

Edited by

Ursuala one of the things you can do with Sytist is make it a pay to view gallery and give them credit on their account so if Minimum spend is $500 you charge $500 to view and give them $500 credit

Hi Tim, we're still learning how Sytist works but so far it's great! Thanks!

One thing that would be huge: changing photo size options at the photo upload stage.

We use different photo sizes depending on the type of job to prevent image theft. For weddings we do larger files since they already have the hi-res files; for schools, we make them very small and watermarked. Instead of changing the default size settings each time, it would be nice if we could pick sizes on the photo upload page.

One other minor thing: we don't use many of the options on the Gallery page, but one thing we need is the Page Link. Right now it's hidden under More Options. It would be nice if it was displayed up top, say under the description, so you don't have to click on anything. Or maybe an option to re-arrange the options? Haha maybe that's too much.
Also, our site uses an SSL cert, so all links must be https, but the page link displays a http URL. Not sure if that can be changed as an option.

Edited by

Hi Tim,
A request I have in the project proofing department is for the client to be able to leave a message with the Approval. I use it for album design and it is working well but if the client is happy with the design but would like to request something retouched they need to send me an email at the moment. (I only retouch the images when the design is approved)

Hope this makes sence.

The Photo display options for display Galleries (not selling Client Galleries) aren't very good, unless I'm missing something.

The Slideshow option is ok, but an option to have a row of small thumbnails at the bottom, for quick navigation, would be nice.

Standard Photo on page w minis in closer to what I'm looking for, but you can only put the minis on the left, not the bottom or right. Weird. And using the minis to navigate is useless, because you see the photo once you mouse-over a mini - clicking doesn't make a permanent switch to that photo, as it should. You have to leave your mouse over a mini to see it.

Edited by

I would like to have a big red "Unpaid" message in the "view orders" page.

The message is there when you view the page which displays all the open orders but my workflow is to open the oldest open order, and then click the "newer" link which takes me to the next page. I don't always look whether it is paid or not and end up preparing photos for clients who haven't paid. A red sign would alert me straight away.

**Customer export**
I would like to have the option to "order by" any of the selected fields - such as "company" "city" state" as I use the exported data to generate targeted email campaigns.
Even better would be to integrate a Mailchimp API to pull customer information and keep my Mailchimp database in sync with my Sytist.

I don't know if this has been already requested or not, but could a preference be added to change the size of fonts (ie make smaller) when using the editor on iPads or other tablets? At present interface font size is fixed and this makes it incredibly clunky if trying to edit one's site using a tablet, running either iOS or Android.

Cheers!

I would love an easier way to sell digitals. I currently use another site for my digital sales where I can just upload and then email a pin # for download. Would love to have it easier or similar to this on Sytist. It is also confusing for customers when they purchase digitals, (I'm not sure why, but not everyone is as smart as we are ;) ) PIN numbers for downloading would be amazing.

If there is already an easier way to do it, let me know :) Thanks!!!

Oh, and registries. On photo cart I had the registry option where customers could register for their baby / bridal showers and I don't see that in Sytist. Thanks again!

"Work List" from Photocart.

Hi all...
I am just about to renew my subscription to: www.stickyalbums.com (remove if not appriate)

Please let me know... so i know where I am going to put my money this month ;)

Hi Tim

I want to be able to allow my customers to download a certain amount of images.

maybe I might have missed this... but is there anywhere we could add some more user fields to registered customers?
Date fields and other info that we can relabel ourselves?
and also the possibility to link clients together such as siblings?

Sytist has really become a great tool for me, I am liking it a lot, so thank you!

As Aaron mentioned above, I also really miss the old photocart "Work List". I feel like I am wasting so much ink and paper as I print out these packing slips to fill my orders. I really need the total number of prints/images at the top of the work page again (as with photocart) so that I can recheck that when filling their order. Also, I've always wished that it also listed the total number of 4x6's, 5x7's, etc.

One thing I am having a problem with, is that I have some digital file packages created, and as they fill their package with their images, it is not listing which SUB gallery it is from. It lists the page and the main gallery, but not the sub gallery. I am dealing with literally thousands of candid photos, and it is really hard to find what sub gallery they are coming from. All my other regular print orders are working fine.

Thank you!

Excellent continued work Tim! Here's a few thoughts:

Multiple sidebars - Something useful for those with multiple genres in their site. The sidebar is excellent, so now ho about having multiples available? Create a new sidebar name, load it with widgets like normally, and have the option to select which sidebar to use at the category or page level. It seems like the framework you have could do this easily.

Alternate files - So far only jpgs can be added to galleries, and other files can be added to the misc files section. I would love to see the addition of uploading things like PDFs, PNGs, and TIFs through the regular upload interface. Not necessarily to view, but to be a download space for customers. We currently use dropbox for sharing files, but to have everything stored for customers in one area on sytist would be convenient now that they are used to the system!

Gallery sort - Would like to have the option of "sort by name ascending" for a gallery. It can be set on the page, but not the page defaults. If you could add the sort options that exist at the page level to the defaults, that would be great!

Editable forms for customers - The forms section is excellent in how customisable it is. I have thought about using it as a detailed document for wedding contracts, but means it has to be done in one shot. We would love it to be editable after the fact. Say, have it set on a page that a customer can come back to to change it, almost like an online document. Then have the corresponding database on the admin side.

Duplicate page - Thank you very much for responding to this! Hopefully you can implement the duplication of subgalleries and their options along with the pages!

Thank you for the continued support on this excellent product!

Would love an option to sell gift cards or vouchers / certificates that the customer can set the price of and buy either for themselves or for a friend

Would love to see the ability to create credits for particular products ie "?xx.xx worth of downloads"

Kind of a variation of the green-screen feature you already have; could you find a way to let clients drop photos into a template? Single image templates would be wonderful -- with the magnificent dream of a multi-image template some day in the future.

We could design PNG files of photo borders with a center cut-out for events, for example, and then use a variation of the green-screen system you already have to allow a preview of a client's own photo inside the overlay.

(Nod to Michael Milner for having a similar idea, posted in October 2015.)

What some posted before:

8. The possibility to email all those with active shopping carts, a reminder that they had item picked out but did not by them. And perhaps have an admin setting to how many reminders to send.

I'm moving from photocart to Sytist (finally) as it now provides some great features that I can use. But the first thing that I've tested has now put me off - the upload process. It seems slow, and I've no idea what's happening under the covers.

I think that there needs to be an asynchronous upload process, rather than keeping a browser window open - and better feedback on the process of the upload (3 of 5670 processed) Googling around a bit turned this up http://symcbean.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/php-and-long-running-processes.html

So upload starts a separate php process, and allows you to keep working on your site. And your site should stay more responsive to customer requests. It would also mean you could create an api of sorts to initiate the upload process remotely after the ftp transfer is finished.

Can you please look into added Bitcoin payment support? It would save us all a lot of money in fee's.

When replacing the photos on an order with the edited photos for the customer, I would like to be able to upload all of the edited files in one go - exactly the same way that you can overwrite/replace images when uploading to a gallery. I want to be able to do this and replace the photos on the order only.

My process is to upload all photos into a gallery in low resolution, mostly unedited - and then edit them (after purchase) and upload the high resolution file to the order only.

Perhaps there is already a simple workaround? I understand I can replace the photos in the actual gallery, but I'm not sure if that's ideal. Any thoughts?

Ooh and a mobile App! Which would download the images to their phone, and show up like an app on their main screens so they can use it offline.

please return old Photocart Coupons and Product options

Would like to see a way to duplicate a current or used coupon. This would duplicate just the discount parameter and name.. you can have it leave the CODE and Expire dates empty so that they may be customized.

In the original Photocart under product options I was able to have a drop down list in which I could place photos of a product. For example I have attached a sample of the drop down to choose which Invite a customer would like.. or to allow them to see maybe the difference in photo texture finishes. or album covers ect...

A feature where the customer could drag and drop or select and display different images in a composite product.

Image Overlay,
I know the subject came up a while ago, shortly after Green Screen was released. I haven't heard back that i can remember, butI would love to see the ability to have an overlay option as well as Green Screen background. Here is 2 samples. The first one is with GS BR as well as an overlay. there are also instances where i would like to give the option of a school mascot or Text overlay. Hopefully available prior to next football season.

I know I've addressed this in another area of support, but thought I'd put it here.

I would like that nothing in the shopping cart to be able to change unless the customer does so. This CAN happen when 'options' are added to the same image. If a customer puts an image in the shopping cart withOUT any image options chosen, and then later decides to add that same image, this time with options added, the first image that was already in their cart automatically gets those options added to the first one, since it's the same image.

Just seems very wrong that adding any product can change what is already in their cart.

Hoping for a re-vamp on those image options soon.

Now that I've seen the impact the featured gallery has, I'd like to use billboards more (really, for every gallery). Since these are for client galleries, I'd like to use images from their galleries, so I'm choosing the upload slides option instead of most recent from section. My first request is, Can't I just use images already uploaded to the gallery? Why have to re-upload images?

Second billboard request - Can we have the ability to use text that covers all slides, So that the gallery title could always appear in the billboard? I know I can add it on each slide separately, but a global option would be nice.

Third billboard request - can we format the text on slides to be center-aligned the way you've set up the text in featured-gallery? Really, I would like the whole text feature-set of featured gallery to be available in billboards, so the text centers on the image, then the arrow button appears.

Edited by

Feature Request - Ability to delete photos except for Photographers' Favorites. It would be nice to be able to select all of the photographers' favorites throughout subfolders, (maybe this can already be done?) when a gallery is expired, move them to the main folder, and delete all the subfolders. Then I'd just have a gallery of my favorite images to keep up for marketing.

It surely was asked for some time ago but I would love to be able to use Sytist in a second language. Tim, please, that would be very nice. It would be sufficient to be able to use German and English for me, no need for more languages. I found a topic that dates back a long time but it seems you did not follow this route.

Featured Image Billboard - Hi Tim, here's another thought after using gallery exclusive. Could you give us a third billboard option to use the featured images from a clients gallery and subfolders? It feels like you might have a lot of the coding already done, and that would be life-changingly useful!

Manually Rearrange Galleries - can the popup window that allows this be sized to fill the whole screen so that it's easier to see which images are being moved on larger galleries?

Edited by

Hi, Tim!
It would be great to have a possibility to send print order e-mail to known photo lab, with link to generated zip archive.
1. Client chooses files he wants to print, photo paper type.
2. Chooses photo lab (list from my sytist).
3. Chooses a method of getting photos. (Pick up from photo lab, or from photographer, or sending by mail).
4. Places order, makes payment.
5. Photographer receives order, uploads files to gallery.
6. Photographer clicks the button ?send order to photo lab?.
a) Sytist generates zip archive with chosen files.
b) Letter with order details and with link to archive goes to e-mail address, associated with photo lab name from the list. Copy of letter goes to photographer?s e-mail address. May be also a link to online order, where is photo cropping information.
7. If client chooses ?pick up from photo lab? method, in the letter there will be the name of client or person, who will come to photo lab to get photos.
8. If it is possible, with confirmation that photos have been downloaded by photo lab.

It would be great if I could add a page, PDF document (like signed contracts) or direct link to a persons specific My Account Page through the People section.

And/or add a section to the bottom of their My Account Page that I could customize to the client (my idea is to have a "Next Steps To Take.." and other notes to communicate with the client in simpler way than a chain of endless emails.)

Having a boutique business with a more intimate relationship with my clients, I would love to make the My Account Page more personalized and user-specific to take it beyond just for them to keep track of their orders and gallery site.

Thanks!!

A coupon which adds a product - a free download or print or store item even - to the shopping cart at no charge.

I'd like to add either free downloads when a certain value is purchased, or maybe a set of free wallets for 'orders over $x.xx'. Looks like I'm not the only one either, based on a quick search for "coupon" in this thread. :-)

(The current method of offering a % or $ value off the order isn't nearly as effective as giving a specific product; clients could just use the coupon to discount other products which may have lower profit margins.)

Edited Fri Apr 22, 16 12:09 PM by Michael Leenheer

I offer my clients a discount when they purchase an image more than once and currently they have to check a box as an option to take advantage of this. A few times though people have not checked the box when they could have, or they have checked the box when they shouldn't have. Oops! I'd like to automate the discount - is there a way that you could add the option to recognize an image is already in the cart as an item or as part of a collection and apply a discount to it each additional time it is added to the cart?

Edited by

Regarding the new "gallery owner" feature: could that be streamlined to be a part of the process when assigning "people" to a gallery? Our client list is over 10,000 people and scrolling down that long dropdown list twice ... well it would be nice if we could just have a tickbox to say "Also make this person the gallery owner".

I really would like to be able to click phone numbers to call them when they are displayed (e.g. the People info pages, Order pages, etc).

After testing the new feature for multiple free download sizes, I see that if one downloads more than 1, all files are given the same name. I'd like to see an option to add a size indicator on the filename, such as "-large", "-medium", or "-web".

For the same feature, the description shows "Largest available size" if one of the options is set to allow that. It would be nice to be able to change the description to indicate that multiple sizes are available.

I'd also like to see an option to create a "package" of downloads with multiple sizes, which would make it easier to offer quantity discounts for multiple packages, which in itself could be a separate feature request. (To offer discounts on packages).

Thanks.

I would love there to be an option to upload a PDF print release to an order that has a digital download. Also the ability to set a limit on how many times a customer can download an image from their order.

I need to be able to email all those that have registered and not purchased for things like reminders that Early Bird discounts are due to end, people that have already purchased really do not need to know.
I still have that issue that my server is limited to 100 emails in an hour and I can get events with far in excess of that registering and being able to send out the emails over a longer period via a cron job would be great.

Edited by

I?ll echo 2 points mentioned above.
- Gift vouchers from grandparents to go towards a session
- Mail shot to people who have registered and have items in basket but did not complete purchase. The feedback I have had from nursery managers is that the online ordering system is too complicated for many parents and they gave up. I?d like to be able to email all the clients connected to a gallery (with multiple sub galleries) to offer assistance at the point the early bird discount is due to end, or order deadline due to expire.

Edited by

Tim

Been thinking,

It would be great to instead of offer a discount for early bird, but to offer a free print or digital product if placing an order within a specific amount?

Also if we could limit coupons to specific items - such as a digital product only discount, etc.

Maybe limit coupons to specific galleries?

I know there is a bunch more, just can't think of them off the top of my head!!

Thanks,
Geoff

Keywords... would be nice to have the possibility to avoid the same keyword 100 times just because it was written in the meta file uploaded. Then it's a real pain to select them in that list. Also, typing the first letters and having a list of them would improve their use...

Please, please, pretty-please could we have the ability to create a paid access option on sub galleries? I'm an equine photographer and for horse shows, some people register ahead of time, but others don't. It'd be great to allow access to the overall gallery while still charging those who haven't signed up to view their photos.

Thanks for the consideration!

I would love to have the following slideshow features:
1. A button that a client can click to start a slideshow from the thumbnail view - like Photocart has.
2. Ability to have music with a slideshow that is started when clicking on the "play" arrow that is on an enlarged image. As it is, music can only be played when selecting the option to have the gallery view begin with a slideshow.

Could we have more flexibility in the wording of the Early Bird Discount? The syntax seems awkward to me.
Here's how I have it appear now: "Order online before May 25, 2016 and receive a discount on orders of $20.00 or more 15.00% off."
Here's what I would like to have it say: "Get a 15% discount for online orders placed before May 25, 2016." In other words, the awkwardness comes from having the discount percentage tacked onto the end of the sentence. It's much cleaner to have the percentage appear before the word, "discount" instead of at the end - and similar to the way Photocart did it.
I would like the option to choose whether or not to have an order amount as part of the discount requirements.

Is it possible to notify clients when they login that they have downloads available when they haven't downloaded them yet?

I find that customers don't seem to know to go look at their order for the download links, even though it's on the order email as well as detailed when they go through the checkout.

Edited by

when offering a free download of an image - is it possible to make it clearer that the image that the image has been downloaded ..

when the image is clicked, they are relying on their browser to tell them it is downloaded, and the DOWNLOAD NOW window doesn't change .. so they click it again if unsure and end up with multiple downloads which skews figures and confuses the person a little

Just change to DONE or something would be helpful

Edited Fri May 20, 16 4:25 AM by mike norman

I'd love it if there could be a multiple person approval option with the proofing galleries. We have a team of people who all need to sign off on images before they can be used. Also if the whole process could be mobile responsive that would be amazing. I work with people who don't have time to sit down at a computer.

Edited by

Can you start looking at the Checkout Section and consider some adjustments there.
Right now there's too much going on before the purchase commitment. A quicker checkout would really help out.

The fewer the decisions a potential buyer has to make before clicking the Process Order button the better.
If someone is purchasing just digital files or services, why do they need their zip or their address?

Do we really want them distracted with creating an account at this point?
Would it better to treat it like the Gallery Exclusive and remove all the links from the top?

Please provide a way to turn off watermarking for individual galleries.
Please provide a way to turn off the huge preview photo shown after clicking on a gallery. It looks terrible with vertical images - which are about 75% of the portraits I shoot. Or, an alternative is to have it respect the proportions of the picture so that both verticals and horizontals are shown in their entirety.

I regularly use print credits and would love to be able to duplicate or copy an existing print credit like in PC. It would be a big time saver.

Edited by

Tim, I don't know if it would be of interest to you, but I am recruiting a group of about 10 people to be a testing group. They will be people of widely varying computer skills - everything from barely computer literate to seasoned "expert" users. My goal is to have them navigate my site, including the shopping cart, with instructions to complete a range of tasks. Then, I will determine which areas are not intuitive, and therefore cause problems that hinder or prevent them from completing the assigned tasks.

Having been the webmaster of my sites for over 20 years it is easy for me to get "tunnel vision," thinking that something is obvious and intuitive when in fact my clients are baffled by it.

If you are interested, I will share the results when I complete the study.

By the way, I so appreciate you and this wonderful tool that you have developed. My comments are intended to help make a great product even better.

I bought PhotoCart when it first came out, to replace my own custom-written shopping cart. By the way, my first shopping cart was, I believe, the first of it's kind in the world. I had it programmed because there was nothing available for photographers and I began getting inquiries from photographers all over the world asking where I got it.

I'm checking the people function, when mails are growing slowly, it seems hard to find the right person or group of persons that have been involved in a page.

Being able to add a few category or group names (kind of keywords for peoples) in the People data could improve that search.

Actually I use the "company" selection, but as they can change it, then it gets difficult to reselect that option.

Would those extra fields accessible only by the admin help other Sytist users?

Some of my Wish-List
1. A choice to add an external URL link in the Gallery Exclusive Design "Your Contact Page" drop-down.
2. A way to add our custom links to the ones above an enlarged photo. Now only Favorite - Share - Filter - Compare are shown.
3. A way to disable the large preview photo, and to have it display the entire photo - both portrait and landscape photos.
4. A way to start a slideshow from the Menu Bar.

Edited by

@Paul White - A few posts up you asked about turning watermarking off for individual galleries. I don't think you can turn it off once you've watermarked them, but you always have the option of not watermarking a gallery on upload. In the upload photos screen, there's a checkbox on the left to watermark or not.

You also asked about the 'huge image' at the top of the screen - this is a new feature that is easy to disable. It's Gallery Exclusive Mode, and is toggleable from the main edit page, just below the publish,draft drop down.

Edited by

Will Wenzel, Yes, turning off Gallery Exclusive Mode does get rid of the huge preview. However, it also gets rid of some features, such as the link to my main website and my phone number. It should be so simple to have the preview image respect the image proportions so that the entire image is displayed. That would be ideal, but just turning it off would be an improvement.
In another post I request the ability to turn off the Early Bird after upload. Sometimes, I realize that I mistakenly added the discount. I have, however, found a work-around. I just set the expiration date of the discount to a date before today, and of course, the discount disappears!

Edited by

@Paul White. You can edit your header to include a link to your main website and phone number in Design, Header and Footer. You can adjust the Early Bird globally by editing your section (which might be client galleries). Site Content, List All Content, choose the section in question. Click the pencil icon to edit, and choose default settings on the right. At the bottom of the list is early bird special default days - you can set that to 0 so you never have an early bird unless you specifically add it.

FYI, I don't work for Tim or Sytist, I'm just a happy user.

Edited by

Will Wenzel - I realize all of that, and have already done it, but when a client gallery is entered the Header disappears! Don't misunderstand, I am a happy user also. I bought Tim's first program, Photocart, when it was first released and think he does an awesome job. It can certainly be improved, however, and I offer suggestions toward that end.

Edited by

Hi Tim. Three CLF related requests - 2 should be easy, 1 harder.

First, in the CLF global settings (Design>CLF settings) could you please include the checkboxes for 'Contain Portrait Photos' and 'Contain Landscape Photos' that are in Edit Category>Design Options>Edit CLF display so those could be globally set?

Second, those are such useful settings, could you please include them on options for CLF settings that aren't in sections? If I enable CLF for my homepage I don't have those checkboxes.

Third (this is the one that's probably a lot more work) could we get the same display of a constrained images on top of an unconstrained image in billboard settings? Or better yet, could we just use CLF display in a client gallery, with the images populated from subfolders?

I know your list is a mile long, and I'm guessing 1 and 2 are already on the hit list somewhere.

A problem my clients are having, which is aggravating both of us : They overlook the "Redeem Print Credit" box and try to put the Print Credit Code in the Coupon field during checkout. When it isn't accepted, they call me. I tell them they should put it in the Print Credit Box at the top of their account screen. When they do that, it forces them to choose the images for the collection AGAIN. Now they have TWO collections ordered and, of course it wants them to pay for the extra collection. So, they call me again.
Two suggestions: (1) put the print credit field on the check-out form, and (2) automatically apply the credit toward a print or collection if that print or collection is in their shopping cart.

Inherit Parent Price List - Right now if you create a category (Schools) and select a Price list [Standard Pricing], that will be the default price list for that category. When you create a sub gallery (Smith High School) and select a different price list [School Pricing] and upload child galleries (Students) to that sub gallery, it would be great if the child gallery (Students) could adopt the sub gallery (Smith High School) price list [School Pricing] if the the sub gallery has a different price list than the selection for the category [Standard Pricing].

Edited by

I think I have asked for this in the past, when a client sends the automated email to "request password" for a gallery, please change the "reply to" to the client, not me! I can't tell you how many times I'm out and about and think I have replied only to see the Access Code in my inbox hours later.

For expenses, can you add a tax/taxable function?

For Project proofing I would really love the option for "Approved with area for a comment." so the client can approve the design and request retouching. We only retouch images after the album design is approved.

I would love to see some kind of wall display mockup capability. This could perhaps be something where I could upload multiple "walls" in the admin and then for each client gallery select some of the proofs to mockup for clients to see. I'm doing this manually today. But, since you already have the "green background" capability, this may not be a big stretch to develop. This capability would fantastic for clients to see how their images would look in real world settings and let them see what large artwork really is since many times they think an 8x10 is "large".

For the Calendar: The ability to further customize a shoot so that it can only be scheduled a certain time. I like the "once per day" feature, but when I was testing it out I realized that if I only have evening hours available on three days of week and morning hours another two days a week, all five days will show up on the calendar screen, even if they are booking a sunset session, for example. Then if they click on a date that only has morning hours available, they will get to the next page where it shows the time slots and realize there are no evening slots available left for a sunset shoot. Then they have to click back and try a different date, trying to find a date that has evening hours available. If I could mark a sunset session as only available between 6pm-9pm for example, when they go to the calendar screen, only the days that have evening hours available would show up. Does that make sense? I have the same problem with newborn sessions, as I only schedule those M/W/S *mornings*, so I don't want all those other days of the week showing up as available.

Also, the "lunch break" feature is a workaround, but I would also like the ability to set the calendar hours in multiple chunks of time, i.e. Mondays between 8:30-12pm and 6:30-9pm.

Calendar Sync.

I?m a Mac user and I currently use a Wordpress Plugin for my calendar and scheduling. The plugin will allow me to subscribe to different calendars I have created on Mac Calendar and will then block off times it finds on those calendars.

It also allows for the reverse. My Mac Calendar can see my Wordpress Plugin calendar.

So, if I have a lunch, coffee scheduled on Mac Calendar on a certain day, the plugin sees the appointment and will not allow appointments of any kind to be booked during that time slot.

This is also helpful because I can see my wife?s calendar on Mac Calendar as well, and if there is an event that requires both of us in attendance, I can then make a duplicate appointment which the plugin will then see and block off for me.

Thank you.

I love the look and feel of your calendar. Thank you so very much for continuing to advance your product.

I?m a one man studio.
Kids are home for summer break.

Two services:
In studio headshot session.
Location headshot session.

Lets say on a particular day my wife is home until 1pm before she leaves for work, so she can watch the kids while I shoot on location until then.

How can I make it so on a certain day, during a specific block of time, a certain service can not be booked? I can only leave for location services while my wife is here to watch the kids.

Currently I am using a Wordpress Plugin which allows you to manipulate a service??s schedule with individual ?Exceptions?. It allows me to say, for this service, on this day, don?t allow this service to be booked during a particular time block. This allows me to plug in my wife's work schedule a month or more in advance as I learn of her schedule.

It allows me to book in studio headshot sessions all day long, and block off times for my location service when I know my wife will not be here to watch my kids.

Thank you again for your new calendar system!

Edited by

Love the new calendar. Was hoping there would be a way when creating a session type that there would be a special event option, but you could select a wide range of dates. This would help when we run a promotion ie. Fall session packages from Sept 1-Oct 30. That way it could limit their booking to the designated dates.

Thank you!

Edited by

I like how the count of expiring galleries was moved to the leftmost column from the center one. This is much better placement for mobile phones. I would like to see the list of shopping carts moved there as well.

Edited by

1) Would like the ability to limit a coupon to a product like only downloads. This way could give a coupon for free downloads, or give a discount for prints, etc.

2) The ability to either setup the coupon for certain galleries or within the gallery select what coupons can be used in that gallery.

Edited by

Thanks for all your help Tim.

Could all options from the booking section selected be listed on an invoice and any email reminders be listed?

IE: Service is listed as a Senior Session
I have a session scheduled with an upgrade to a location session.
Client selects starts time at 9:00 and with the upgrade it ends at 10.30.
Another option client selected would include pre-purchase of digital files.
Another option would be entered by the client in a text field (in this case the actual location)

Would really like the invoice and subsequent reminders to read something like:
Senior Session,
Date/Time
On-Location (the option name),
All digital Files (another option)
Location: (from text field)

I think the info is somewhere in the software since it comes up in the booking calendar detail but I can''t find it (and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did find it)

Thanks again.

Edited by

Not sure if it was ever mentioned, but a feature where you could easily allow a client to download any of their own 'favorites' within a gallery without manual interruption would be awesome.
I don't want to have to manage all kinds of manual process just to give pictures if the client have paid for them, or if it's a 'family / friends' gallery.

Thank you for considering this feature.

Edited by

Great revisions on the site Tim!! Wanted to touch base on a few more things...

1. View stats on images - photocart had one line under each image in the admin side saying how many times the above image was viewed. Can we add that to sytist?

2. Favorites link - on admin side, add a 'favorites' link for a gallery on the top tab menus - just for convenience sake.

3. Jump to gallery - another feature in photocart that was handy for quickly finding anything.

4. Search wildcards - using an asterisk "*" as a wildcard when searching the DB - handy when not sure what the spelling of a gallery is, for example.

5. Front-end Image uploads - I know I've asked this and it has a multitude of challenges attached, but would LOVE the ability for a client to upload an image and then have it pertain to a pricelist. ei, for clients to order prints and products of their own image. Currently am using a dropbox plugin that allows an upload but not in any way connected to the product page it is on.

6. Admin Upload other files - Would love to see the upload interface have the ability to intelligently upload and sort video files or PDFs into a gallery instead of having to use the 'all files' section and a link.

7. Upload preview images - often we have a need to use the same image in various galleries as a placeholder. Would like the option when uploading a preview image to load it from an existing folder instead of uploading it every time it is needed, much like a media folder in wordpress.

8. Plateau Bonuses - it has been touched on by others. Would like to set an automatic ordering bonus for a gallery. Could be done on individual gallery or category level. Set the order amount, then what the bonus product is. When the customer hits the amount, it is added to the cart as a free/bonus item.

Thanks for the continued service!

Edited by

In addition to the Plateau Bonus that Rob suggested, I would really like a way to upsell products and services based on what people have added to their cart. I'd like a way to suggest enlargements when someone orders a 5"x7" or upsell a canvas wrap when someone has added an 11"x14" print or even suggest an album when someone orders a large canvas.

Also, I would like the ability to tie a coupon to a specific service or print/collection that is offered. Just offering $XXX or xx% is too generic. I need a way to encourage people to consider other options which directly relates to my "upsell capability" request.

Keep up the great work!

Billboard slides active/inactive setting.

Creating a billboard with text effects can be time consuming; I like to rotate my special offers / messages so it would be nice to be able to "turn off" a specific billboard slide and reactivate it a few months later.

Edited Tue Jun 21, 16 4:36 PM by Michael Leenheer

not sure if this one was mentioned. I would like to be able to apply a discount when creating an invoice. That way the discount is reflected to the client and also helps me not have to do the math on the entire invoice to remove the discounted amount.

Would be nice to do this on individual items and/or the total amount of the order.

Other than already mentioned tag cloud, it would be nice to have an option to have a menu item visibility triggered not only by the user being registered, but also hidden for the logged in users. That would allow to post articles like "Why register", describing benefits of creating an account. And removing the clutter once they are registered and logged in.

I really appreciate the new features each time they come out! Here are two requests on my remaining list:

* In the gallery expiration email to the gallery owner, have the option to charge for an ongoing extension / renewal. Ex: if a gallery is set to auto expire in 90 days, the email would offer the owner an opportunity to pay $__ monthly or annually to keep the gallery active. A courtesy reminder would go out just prior to the renewal charge, and the owner would be able to cancel at any point. If the owner cancels or the renewal payment doesn't process in time, the gallery will go offline.

* Being able to create gallery types, ex: engagement, maternity, wedding, so there can be different defaults and settings applied to each type. Ex: Engagements could expire in 14 days by default, share the same layout, and have a default price list that is different from wedding, maternity, etc. The default expiration email for the Engagement type could be different from the default Wedding expiration email, for example. When we're creating a gallery, we'd be able to designate whether it's a wedding, engagement, etc.

I know these are big ideas, but figured I'd at least put them out there. They'd be infinitely useful to us, and likely others.

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

I would like the feature improvement of the checkout area in Sytist.

At the moment the "State" section in the checkout area above "Country" seems a bit confusing for website visitors. It is showing all states in all countries, I would like to see if the visitors selected one country such as Australia, only the states in Australia will show.

Another thing is I noticed that if Northern Territory (Australia) is selected, it will actually change to Northwest Territories (CA) for some reason. Please have a look into it.

Thanks,
Alexander

Rebuilding images. P-l-e-a-s-e. Every gallery software available today has one.

Let's say, I have 10,000+ images on my site. And I've decided to change something – pixel dimensions for some particular size, or the watermark/logo… The only way to apply any changes now would be deleting and re-uploading all 10,000 photos. Yet by default we're keeping original uploads. C'mon, even prehistoric Menalto Gallery can do a rebuild/re-render.

Edited by

Hi Tim,

I love your product. I would like to request the ability to sharpen download images. I shoot with a D800 and if someone wants to purchase a 500px image, it comes out pretty soft.

Thank you.

It would be huge help if the Booking Calendar could be synced with a specific Google Calendar! This would allow all sessions to be managed within Sytist and have the info viewable on mobile devices and applications that use a Google Calendar without double entering everything.

Is it possible when admin only notes are made on orders that an alert be automatically generated on the main order page - similar to when there are client notes or approval of downloads pending? (see attached)

I've been in business 30 years, and I have used many different online gallery systems. I have an idea I have not seen before.

There are many reasons I decided to go with Sytist, one of which was SEO. I was tired of sending traffic to a gallery service which I did not host myself. I want Google to see all of the traffic happening on my site.

That being said, I now want my customers to help me generate even more traffic to my Sytist galleries.

You already have an Early Bird Special, but what if a special could be created based upon how many unique visitors there were to a particular gallery?

"Thank you Jennifer for allowing me to photograph your wedding. Your gallery is now live. All items will be marked down to 50% off when your gallery reaches 100 unique visitors. And when your gallery reaches 250 unique visitors you will be able to download your high resolution wedding images at no charge, normally a $1000 value!"

Have any thoughts on this idea?

Edited by

Since we're already parsing ICMP metadata for keywords, why not add an option to size images in a masonry view according to their star rating? Or for simplicity's sake, just 2 options – default and highlight. For example, less than 4 stars – default. 4 or 5 stars – double size in masonry view, and automagically add it to "photographer's favorites".

Just a thought.

Edited by

1) The new booking calendar includes the option to specify the session reminder email text. PLEASE include the me session reminder email functionality for calendar events that are set up manually and associated with a contact.

2) Please include expiration date functionality for the new calendar/event pages similar to how the gallery expiration works . I would like them to disappear from the list of calendar/events and display a message like "Event is no longer available"

Edited by

I would love to have the ability to have a report for an event available in the report section even after the event has expired. It would help keep track of expenses, taxes etc.

To also have the event a person orders from available in the Export report section. Yes, I know some order from multiple events, but if at least the main event could be listed, that would be very helpful.

Edited by

Hi Tim!

I have a feature request for the downloads options.

Multiple watermarking options when offering downloads with multiple sizes to customers.

Example:
0,Full Size,No Watermark
1920,Wallpaper,Bottom Watermark (I have a 32 pixel watermark along the bottom for 1920x1080 photos)
1280,Sharable,Full Watermark

Edited by

When using the Replace Photos feature, would it be possible to have the option to have the file replaced on both the order and the gallery in one action? Right now, if I replace the photo in the gallery, while it does change the image data which technically does change the photo on the order - the name on the order stays original, and does not change to the edited name. This means I need to replace the image on both the gallery photo and order photo so the names remain consistent, which doubles the process.

Edited by

As I mostly shoot events and have many repeat customers the following would be a very useful feature.

Purchasable pricing schemes

Users can pay a subscription to go on to a different pricing structure for a set period of time, but not looking at a continuous subscription.

This The system would need to add them to the different price list and remove them when the subscription expires. They would also need subscription ending notifications.

Mike

Edited by

An ability to assign a special price list to the user for a particular gallery. For example, I can create a "Free Large Download" price list and assign it to the client, but that would give her an ability to download any photo from any gallery.

Edited by

Thanks for the new bonus coupon feature!

I would love to be able to select "buy all" products for a bonus coupon rather than a collection - or to be able to add "buy all" products to a collection.

This is because we give all the digital images free after a minimum print investment. Currently they are instructed to put the digitals (a buy all product) in their cart along with their printed products, then enter a coupon code to get their digitals for free. The coupon code discounts the $ amount of the digitals; but, since this is based on a discount off of a cart total, the coupon would still give them the same amount off even if they filled the cart total with all prints.

Edited by

A way to collapse the list of images for a "buy all" product in an order - so that it shows they bought x of all images, instead of x of image 1, x of image 2, x of image 3, x of image 4, x of image 5...

(or another similar solution that helps clarify the order and packing slip).

Our idea is collapsing, so that when we sell a "buy all" of all the digital images, the client can still "twirl down" the whole list to download each image one by one if preferred.

Edited by

I have 2 coupon feature requests -

1) The new bonus coupon feature is great! Please consider adding functionality to enable the bonus coupon based on a specific item being in the shopping cart vs just a minimum cart amount. For example, I would like to offer a discount on Collection A if Collection B is purchased.

2) I would like to offer BOGO specials. Examples include: 1) buy 1 8x10 get 1 8x10 of the same image free, 2) buy 1 set album get 1 identical album 50% off, and 3) buy 1 canvas get 1 canvas of the same 25% off.

Thanks!

Edited by

I would like to offer a free download of an image if a client:

1) Tweets a specific message
2) posts a specific message to Facebook
3) signs up for an email newsletter (via MailChimp)
4) Any combination of the the above that I choose (e.g. signs up for email and tweets or posts to facebook)

I would like to have Same Sign On capabilities between wordpress and sytist. Please looking into providing integration between the two.

I would like to have more than one calendar or the ability to only show certain times available based on the type of session requesting. I only want to offer certain daytime appointments for headshots and I'd like to only offer specific times for senior sessions (i.e., TH,F,S afternoons)

Edited by

My biggest request would be including all of the EXIF data in the images when someone downloads them. With the capability to read the data and use it in Sytist I don't see a reason why the EXIF should be purged from the images.

I put a lot of info into the EXIF info, and for some of our events it would be nice to be able to track what is being used by a hashtag since I know Facebook automatically pulls data from captions and headlines.

Either way, figure all info gets stripped when downloaded.

Thanks!

I would love to have a sales report that shows which are my best customers, always good for re-marketing

In Photocart it was easy t see what earnings I had for each gallery and having to burrow into each galleries stats is a pain to get the same overview

Mike

Edited by

I would like to option to require people to check the "checkbox" options for Services (i.e. have to ability to mark a checkbox as a "Required Option"). This would allow me to use it in instances where I want to have contract-like options like "I agree to ..." and require people to acknowledge they have read the terms.

All of the other option types (e.g. tab menu, dropdown, etc) have the ability to mark it as a "Required Option"

Edited by

Paul, you could do a drop down and have only the one option. That might work for the time being.

Edited Mon Aug 01, 16 10:11 AM by Ryan O

Great work as always!! The recent addition of having customers' favorite images on the home page is excellent. We would really like to see favorites link(s) in the customers admin page as well. Perhaps along the top tabs (text & settings, photos, 'Favorites', etc) so that it is easy to find them in one place when there are multiple favorites lists from multiple people looking at the same gallery. :)

Edited by

Hello, brand new to Sytist, and really looking forward to using it. Is it possible to have times that are not in 5 minute increments? We want to book sports teams online and a lot of them have 6 minute, 7 minute, 8 minute etc. time slots, so 5 and 10 don't work for those.

Edited by

There is currently an option to require an account at checkout. But, I would like the option to require someone to have an account and be logged in before they can add anything to their cart. This will allow me to capture email addresses and follow up when someone abandons their cart.

Edited by

Would love to see two things:

1. When creating galleries and adding gallery owners - if the person is not in the list have an +add owner option that allows you to populate client info during gallery creating
2. Import People from csv or excel so we can bulk add people.

Thanks!

Edited by

The PhotoCart feature that I miss the most in Sytist is the ability to see how many views each individual image has had. This helps me to know the kinds of poses that have the most appeal and so makes me a better photographer.

I would also like to have the ability to turn off the social media sharing icons for a specific category. For my boudoir shoots I would like to eliminate the possibility of those being used. Along that line, can you tell me if someone does share a password protected gallery, will it show a preview photo on the social media site?

Edited by

I like the option for the Bonus coupon, but would like the option to be able to give discounts on specific items if another item is purchased from the price list.
For example one of our price lists is for sports organizations on their initial order form they can get a discounted team picture with the order of a package. So we would like to create that the same way in the price group. If they purchase a package A they will get a team picture for a discounted price.

Thanks

Edited by

I would also love a way to pull a list of favorites from a specific gallery that includes the names of the clients who's favorite they are. Or maybe some kind of wish list for the clients, also with a way to separate by gallery.
To explain this a little, we take pictures for a group or team, they place an order the day of the shoot but when the pictures are posted to the gallery they have the option to go in and select the image they want and in some cases what digital background and orientation. We currently have them select favorites, including sample background images. and then have to sort through all the recent favorites to find them.

I would like to accomplish this without them having to complete an order online that we could only print individually. Instead have a wish list maybe that can be collected as a list per gallery that could be quickly sorted.

Edited by

Hi Tim,

I know other folks are asking for better photo searching facilities. I was wondering whether it would be possible to include a meta data search? I would like to be able to search by keyword either globally or within individual galleries/sub galleries. Could this be done? I am particularly keen for galleries of sports events where bib numbering is used. if possible, multiple criteria searches would be fantastic.

Thanks
Glenn

1. Allow the client to enter in the amount they would like to pay towards an invoice instead of being forced to pay the entire balance. Think of when you go to pay your credit card online or cell phone bill, you can pay the "entire balance due", "Minimum Amount" or "Specific Amount". This is great for when I sell a large package and then won't have to create a new invoice each month for payment plans.

2. Ability to link my booking calendar to my Google Calendar or iCloud Calendar so times and dates are consistent across all my calendars.

3. Ability to add a buffer or travel-time to a specific booking on the booking calendar to help avoid schedule conflicts.

4. Get the Proofing Galleries optimized for mobile - currently the viewing is clunky and clients cannot add comments when they hit "Revise" on some phones. When communicating with email these days we have to assume the client is using their phone to view and click through.

5. Let the client zoom-in on the image when in a Proofing Gallery.

6. In a Proofing Gallery, it would be great for me to be able to create some custom radio button or checkbox options for the client to select instead of an open text area when they hit "Revise". People are just emailing me directly to communicate the changes, so I'm trying to figure out how to make this step simplified for them and have them use the site instead.

7. Allow a Deposit option for regular Store products and services (not needed for gallery site items). Big ticket items like Save the Date cards and Add-On wedding coverage would be an easier upsell if the initial cost to purchase is a little easier to swallow.

Thanks so much Tim!

I would also very much like to have multi-language support as it was in previous PhotoCart.

Image Overlay,
I know the subject came up a while ago, shortly after Green Screen was released. I haven't heard back that i can remember, butI would love to see the ability to have an overlay option as well as Green Screen background. Here is 2 samples. The first one is with GS BR as well as an overlay. there are also instances where i would like to give the option of a school mascot or Text overlay. Hopefully available prior to next football season.

It would be great on the Calendar check out that the shopping cart to the left shows you what you are buying. It says "two items" but there is no way to know what they are actually signed up to buy. See far left, but I can't get the image to upload. :(

Edited Tue Oct 04, 16 10:10 PM by Alicia Williams

I would like to see the ability to print shipping labels for clients without the order details. the packing list is good for the order processing workflow but is not functional as an actual mailing label. A way to select clients and batch print labels maybe 4 to a page or something like that would be great.

Edited by

In "site content" I wish there would also be the "recently modified pages" link like we can find in the "home" section

Edited by

Minor improvement for better efficiency... especially on smartphones where it is difficult to see the"cross" button
When selecting an image for the cart, once done, you can click on the "continue shopping button", you would expect reaching the gallery, but in fact you have to close the pop-up window..
Would it be possible to avoid this second click to reach directly the gallery page?

Edited by

1. Print fulfillment through BayPhoto, WHCC, or ProDPI (not a Miller's lab!)

2. We currently use 17Hats studio management software and have noticed that Sytist could do the same things with a few additions. We currently use 17Hats in the following way: First, a client inquires and we send a quote that lists all of our session package options. They choose their options and the quote is accepted/submitted. They are then automatically emailed a link to a detailed contract to sign. Once that's signed they are automatically sent to an invoice for their chosen options and they make their payment. They are then emailed more details about their specific session. The automated email feature is great because it sends reminder emails about their session and we've also set it up to send a "book your next session" email 4 months after their session (automated emails that can be assigned to different places in a workflow is critical!).

We work primarily with newborns so we first book people based on their due date. Currently, their due date gets scheduled on our calendar without a session time. Once baby is born they are given another session date with a time. So they are on our calendar 2 ways and the way we know if a session is an actual "to-do" session is if it has a time. It would be great to designate due dates in some other way on the calendar, but this absolutely needs to be a part of our booking process and calendar.

We would actually prefer to have a web page with all of our session and package options to send to an inquiry so they could just add it to their cart, pay the deposit, sign the contract, etc... Sytist could absolutely already replace the quote/list of session package options, but it wouldn't be as elegant as we'd probably like.

3. Ability to sync with Google calendar.

Edited by

I second the possibility of Sytist doing what 17 hats does. We are also using it to organize workflows and client inquiries. If this was integrated in sytist it would make order processing, and the automated emailing so much easier. as well as if it could hold contracts that could be sent and signed and stored. and of course the calendar sync.

Edited by

The ability to set promotional sale price on products and also on booking services, and show the customer with the sales price is and what the normal price is (i.e having the original price crossed out with a red line or x and the sale price next to the original price.)

I also agree with some other folks that it would be nice to have a way to do contracting with clients.

Edited by

Can you possibly put a link on the top of the admin page for the site content we have, or give the option to add a custom button from our list of site content. I always need to go into Site Content, List All Content, and then find my Client Galleries Button. I go in here to go view the list of Client Galleries to see how many people viewed the gallery. I'd love a quicker way to access it.

Edited by

Please give us dynamic row height in the Justified gallery layout. I made this request when I first purchased Sytist last December but since there has been no indication that this is being worked on I am requesting again. It may seem like a trivial thing but the whole reason I have a photography website is to showcase my photographs, photographs which I spend a lot of time editing and cropping so that they are presented exactly as I wish them to be. To have Sytist cropping images on my website, taking away that control from me, is beyond aggravating! Even worse, it looks very amateurish to me to have thumbnails where my watermark has been cut off or is cut in half because of the cropping. If it isn't clear what I am asking for please refer to my post from last December, or look at any flickr photostream to see how dynamic row heights are used to eliminate cropping.

Edited by

I've asked before Tim and I'll ask again and once it's done then I'll PAY for updates, a 'feature' I didn't anticipate having to pay for when I signed up a few years ago ...
Maybe you could break the 'wishlist' into admin and sales.
Much of the update stuff seems to be admin.
Perhaps my sales model is too simple, they order by website, pay by credit card and I ship ...

But the FUNDAMENTAL of sales starts with the SELECTION of and image and the SIZE of the image
So can we PLEASE GET A DECENT cropping tool that shows the Client what the image selected will look like at a given size ?
Like Smugmug do so well.

Here again is a link to a Smugmug gallery to show you how easy it is for the Client.
And it would save me many hours writing emails noting that an 8 x 10 print would actually look significantly better as an 8 X 12 (as an example)
Then waiting for their reply.
Then finally completing the order.

I did a quick search for "expenses" in this thread, but didn't quite find what I'm looking for, so my apologies if someone else has already mentioned this...

I would dearly LOVE to be able to import expenses from my bank's downloadable account files. It would be unspeakably amazing if overall accounting could be tracked this way - using a bank's csv file to import and categorize info - but I'd be happy with just being able to import expenses via csv file. They could map toe existing expense fields, so they wouldn't have to be complicated (as far as my tiny programming knowledge is concerned). This would eliminate the need for accounting software (an additional expense), and I'd only have to fiddle with importing to one place instead of multiple places. A cost/time savings all the way around!

The other thing that would be absolutely super is to be able to re-arrange the admin home page. The current setup isn't quite as useful to me the way it is.

Oooh! And I have to second the ability to sync with Google calendar. That would be so sweet.

THANKS SO MUCH for Sytist, Tim! I'm moving away from photography a little bit, but Sytist is still (almost!) perfect for my next venture. I love it! :)

Hi Tim!

I would love to see some kind of barcode or label system happen in Sytist! We are a high volume school portrait company and are always looking for easier and faster ways to spit out labels for the kids' orders.

Thank you! :)

Edited by

I would like a way to like another person's request for new features, this would limit the amount of these requests by making it possible to basically vote for someones suggestion.

and I would also like the barcode option, and a better upload solution, and calendar integration, and automated emails with workflow reminders.

Oh yeah and THANK YOU Tim for all your hard work and the features you are releasing to us on a regular basis.

Edited by

Love the new features Tim! Now just a suggestion, would it be possible to have contract signatures hashed (SHA-256 preferred) and signed by a trusted timestamp server? This is to add a layer of security for both the client and the photographer if an issue arises that a contract was altered.

Edited by

I have a list of people that have opted out of emails but I can not export a list of customers without them, now that would be beneficial, would also be great to be able to export customers as just those that have visited a gallery section

I have a section for montage approvals but I have to go in to each montage to close it, would be great to have close as an option in the section, would also be great to be able to sort these by open, awaiting attention etc.

I would like to know who my high spending customers are and I would lobve to hav a view like in photocart where I could see all the galleries and how much spent

Mike

Edited by

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I would love to see list of galleries and orders on the front admin page. I don't really care to see who has what in their cart and I don't really care to see recent visitors; both are displayed so prominently there. I thought I'd be able to customize the content of the front admin page but haven't found a way to do it.

It sure would be nice to see the actual list of orders right there and the list of galleries!

Thank you for your consideration :-)

I might have asked for this before, but I would LOVE a nudge button on the shopping carts. I have about 3K in orders sitting, and people were in the middle of ordering and walked away.
I have a lot of kid portraits and people are probably trying to order during nap time and then get distracted.

A nudge button on our back end, if they are logged in, would be fantastic.
If this feature existed, I would force people to always log in before ordering.

Edited by

I like the new contracts. I would also like it if there was a way to make some of the contract area like a form so say if you had information in a Model Release that needed to be added like birthdate (or something custom) that we could create inside the contract with fillable data for the Client to answer and sign.


I'd also love an area we could Add Estimates and if they are accepted.

Calendar Feature Request: along with the "Lead Time" setting, could you add an "End Time" setting?

I would like to have the available booking dates have a limit, so people can't book extremely far in advance on me. For example, right now someone could book a session for Thanksgiving day next fall (or 2 years from now) because I haven't manually blocked off the holidays yet ... it would be nice to put a limit on the over-eager clients :-)

Edited by

Tim, what about the possibility of exporting a sales report that will break orders down by what category they have been assigned to?
I really need to get some analytics on how many of each type of session, and how much each type of session earned.

I also miss the amount per gallery from Photocart on the gallery list.

Thanks

Options - Still problem with the way options is set up. If i create an individual option on a print size, it charges it for every quantity they choose. For example: I offer a "add event logo" option. With the individual options, if they order 3 prints with the option box checked, it charges the option 3 times also. Please consider making an option for us to charge it for every print or only one time. I know the other way of doing options only charges the option one time, but read further for glitch with that.

Problem with the other way you can add image options (that only get charged one time). For example: If someone orders print number 1 with a "add event logo" and then would also like that same image without the logo, the cart AUTOMATICALLY adds the option for that image on all of them. BIG PROBLEM as I see this one. Example of problem..... If I add photo number 1 in my cart and choose the "add event logo" option, then I choose to select photo number 1 again and maybe order it in another size WITHOUT the logo option checked, it AUTOMATICALLY says I want that logo on everything that is photo number 1. Any time a customer chooses the SAME photo, some with options, some without, it puts the options on all of them!! That is changing their cart even if they input it correctly!! Ughh! Anytime someone orders the same photo with options I have to contact them to see if they want the option on all of them.

PLEASE PLEASE consider some changes on options. Possibly just add one more option for us to choose whether to charge it one time, or for every print, OR make it so even if they choose the same photo in another size that it won't add it to every one of that image. The old Photo Cart seemed much better on this aspect.

I also do not like that if they choose options in their shopping cart, I cannot see what options they have checked in their cart until checkout. ??
Please......

Incredible work as always Tim and team! Have a few thoughts/suggestions:


- Sidebar - currently you can enable or disable sidebar for a section and subpages, but wondering if it would be possible to have the sidebar disabled for the section page and then active for the subpages.

- Sidebar - would love to see a "multiple sidebars" feature. Similar to billboard or sections, where a sidebars can be individually created/customized then selected at the section or page level for greater variety.

- Wall Designer - possible to add canvas/print products, collections, or rooms to a specific wall designer subset, then add them to the pricelist that way? Basically the same way a product or collection is added to a priclist. Currently we find the list of canvas products (for example) very long when all sizes are in the one list.

- Wall Designer - possible to show names of collections when selecting?

- Wall Designer - could it be possible to zoom in on the entire collection, like zooming in on an individual image?

- Billboard - Possible to add a video to a billboard?

Thanks again!

Calendar request 2: more detail in the "Stats" section.
I'd like to be able to see how many of the sessions have been booked, and also the options - how many people bought the upgrade, for example. Ideally this would also be sorted or filtered by date - so I can see, for example, how many sessions I booked this month vs the same time last year.

(The first request was an end limit on open bookings so people can't book more than XX weeks in advance.)
