How do the photo sale and download galleries work?
When you have finished a photo shoot and you have to hand over the images to your client, the option of handing over a CD or a USB stick is a thing of the past. What works best now are the photo sales and download galleries, powerful tools within your photography business that will allow you to sell and download photos to your clients:
- To offer a much more comfortable, professional and modern service.
- Significantly reduce the time you spend meeting with customers or emailing their photos.
- Increase your revenue by selling extra photos, packs, etc.
- Etc.
Another advantage of these tools is the easy operation of both the private customer galleries and the online shop by you and your customers.
Private galleries for sale and download of photos
In the case of private access galleries for clients, once the client accesses your website to their private gallery through their username and password, they will find all the images from their photo session. In this private space he will be able to download directly all the photographs that you have previously agreed with him. Another option that is very interesting is that if you configure the gallery so that it has multiple modes (selection, download, sale, etc.), the client will also be able to buy extra photographs at the same time.
Public image sales galleries
And if it is a public access gallery, for example, the sale of photos of a sporting race, anyone who wants to can immediately access the gallery and directly buy the photos they want in the format they are most interested in. Moreover, with the option that you can configure for quick purchase, this process will be even more agile, which will favour the purchase of images.

Business solutions that enhance your business area galleries
At Arcadina we don’t just provide you with a simple website and business area, we offer you a series of extra tools that you can customise and use as you wish so that your digital photography business offers all the options you want.
That is why today, as a complement to the photo sale and download galleries, we would like to talk to you about 2 of these tools that will help you to improve your business area and boost sales even more. We are talking about the use of artificial intelligence to speed up the search for images by face and/or bib number and the possibility of offering the sale of printed photographs in professional formats through Arcadina Labs. Let’s take a closer look at these two interesting options.
Use Artificial Intelligence in your image download and sales galleries
Both in the private galleries and in the online shop, you will be able to activate Artificial Intelligence so that your customers can search for their images much faster. This function is perfect for when, for example, you have a gallery with photos of a wedding and your guests want to quickly search for the images in which they appear. By activating this AI option, the search by face, either taken from one of the photos in the gallery or by taking a selfie, will be very fast and effective.
Another very graphic example is a gallery of an obstacle course in which more than 300 athletes have participated. In order for each participant to effectively search for the images in which they appear, they will have 2 options. Search for their face as in the example of the wedding gallery, or even search for their bib number.
With this active AI tool, searches in large galleries will be made easier and, as a result, the chances of your sales will increase considerably.

Sale of photos in professional formats by Arcadina Labs
Another of the many ways you can get your customers to make more purchases once they have viewed their images, is to offer them the possibility of printing some of their most special photos in a number of special formats, such as: canvas, HD metal, Desk Block, etc.
In Arcadina Labs, you will be able to activate all the previously configured formats that you are most interested in, and when your customers place an order through your gallery, the laboratory will directly manage it without you having to worry about it. And when the order is ready, it will be sent to the address that your client has indicated when placing the order.
In short, once you have activated the Arcadina Labs service, you will not have to do anything and in return you will receive the benefits of each purchase made and your customers will love the idea of being able to print some of their photographs in such spectacular formats as methacrylate.
