Questions about switching
Do my Pixieset galleries come over?
No. Foto has no import for another service's galleries or favorites. Upload the originals, use Send To and Gallery, and share the Gallery's link with your client.
Does my client need an account?
No. The Gallery's link is how the client gets in, with a password if you set one. They pick, leave notes and answer each round in the browser.
Can clients order prints from a Gallery?
Yes. Choose the prints a Gallery sells from your drop-ship products. Your client taps Buy Print on a photo, pays on your own checkout, and your lab prints that photo and ships it.
How do the client's picks reach my editing?
Foto's Library shows the Client Picks, and Adjust shows the client's note on the photo, so you edit the picks and then deliver the Gallery.
