Create a selection gallery

Create a gallery where the customer chooses the photos they want and sends them to you.

Written by Félix Mezcua

A selection gallery lets your customer choose the photos they want for their album, or those they have contracted, and send them to you.

Create the gallery

1. Go to Client Galleries / Galleries / New gallery › Create gallery.

2. General information: name, menu option, content (Photographs or Videos), Favorites function and, if you want, tags (for example “Weddings 2026”).

3. Permissions: Selected customers and choose the customer.

4. Finish the wizard and upload the photos from the Photos tab, with or without a watermark. See Upload, order and organise photos in subgalleries.

Set up the selection

In the gallery's Functions tab, Proofing settings block:

  • Enable selection limit: how many photos the customer can choose and what each extra photo costs. See Selection settings and extra selections.

  • Actions after selecting (what happens when the selection order is confirmed), each with its own switch: send the download link, deactivate unselected images, unpublish the gallery and convert it to sales. The last one is only available in galleries without the Sales function.

How the customer sees the gallery

1. They enter the client area with their user and password.

2. They hover over a photo and click the heart: it turns pink. At the top right they see how many they have chosen.

3. They click View selection to review them.

4. They click Confirm selection and fill in the short form to send it.

You receive the selection as an order: Client Galleries / Orders, with the Favorites function. If you turned on comments, you will also see the comments on each photo. See Tags and comments in orders.

Send the gallery to the customer

Send button (by email, WhatsApp, social networks or copy the link). See Send login details to a customer.
