To show you the full potential of this new feature, which is ready to use both in the online shop and in the customer area, we are going to show you a couple of case studies so that you can see the full potential of this great improvement:

• If, for example, you have sold a basic communion pack to a family where only 8 printed photos are included (without delivering the digital ones), when the customer views all the images in their private area to see the photos they want to be printed, they will also be able to compare the whole gallery in digital format if they wish to do so.

• If you upload photos from a festival to your online shop, attendees will have the option to buy the photos they are most interested in or the whole gallery at once.

How does the sale of a complete gallery with digital download work?

When it comes to putting yourself in the shoes of your clients who want to buy a complete gallery, you will see that the process will be very simple to carry out. Once the client is in the gallery (public and/or private) in question, he/she will be able to see, as always, all the available photographs.

In case you want to buy all the images of a gallery, you will only have to click on a button that you will find at the top right of the full gallery screen. Next to this button, you will also see the price of the gallery, so you will have all the information before you get to the shopping cart.

Once you click on this option, the process will be the same as when buying single photos, the shopping cart window will appear where you can review the items you are about to buy and then you will have to follow the last steps to finish the process.

In addition, in these image galleries, customers will always have the possibility, if they do not want the whole gallery, to buy individual photos and use the quick purchase option.

In the following help article you will find all the information about this last option.

3 advantages of activating the sale of complete galleries

If you are one of the few who still don’t see that offering your customers the sale of a complete gallery with digital download are all advantages, we are going to give you 3 compelling reasons to activate this box every time you create a gallery for sale in your business area.

1# Your customers will save a lot of time when selecting images. This is undoubtedly the most obvious advantage, especially, as we mentioned at the beginning, when the gallery includes many files and you know that there is a good chance that the customer will finally decide to buy the whole gallery.

2# You will save a lot of time solving your customers’ doubts because if you don’t activate this option, more than once they will write to you asking for a faster way to select all the images in the gallery without having to go through them one by one.

3# Your sales will increase. This is marketing and it is more than proven. When we act as consumers we are very impulsive, that’s why platforms like Amazon, where customers buy an item in a few seconds, are so successful. If you make it easy for your customers to make a purchase, it will be much more likely to be effective.
