Candy’s Weekly Recap: Overlay Artwork in the Product Gallery 🎨✨

Hello again, my wonderful photographers!

‍

Candy here, and welcome to another Weekly Recap. This time, we’ve got one exciting improvement to share—overlay artwork now appears by default on product previews in the product gallery!

‍

Let’s take a closer look. 🌟

‍

Overlays Rendered by Default in Product Gallery 🎉

‍

We’ve introduced a fun change for anyone using Banner Overlays or Full Frame Overlays in their NowCandid Events:

‍

Visible Overlay Art
‍
Items in the retail site’s product gallery will now display your Event’s overlay artwork right away. Customers can see exactly how their images look on each product, with that extra creative touch of your Event's Overlay Art.

‍

*Theme: Marshmallow - Watermarking: Heavy*

‍

*Theme: Liquourice - Watermarking: None*

‍

Use Overlay by Default
‍
When customers go to customize or add a product to their cart, the “Use Overlay” option will already be selected. This makes it simpler to highlight your unique event designs or branding. But they can still view & order the product without the overlay art.
‍
Easy Toggle in Settings
‍
If you prefer to keep products overlay-free by default, no worries! Head to the “Retail Site Settings” in your Profile and uncheck “Use Artwork By Default.” That way, product images will display without your Event overlay art unless customers choose otherwise.

‍

*Find this option in your Profile settings*

‍

Enabling Use Artwork By Default will feature your Event's Overlay Art on the renders in the product gallery page. Guests can choose to view and order products without the art, but "with overlay art" will be the default selection.

‍

That’s all for this week’s short-and-sweet recap!

‍

We hope this feature adds a little extra flair to your retail experience.

‍

As always, let us know what you think or if you have any feedback.

minutes read

Hello again, my ever-curious photographers! 🎅

‍

Candy here, and welcome to Day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

‍

Today’s spotlight is a feature still in its early stages, but full of potential: the Candy Account Integration (Beta). Since it’s Christmas Eve, what better time to peek at a promising work-in-progress?

‍

Key Highlights:

‍

Account-Level Insights:
‍
When using Candy through the Web Dashboard, you can ask about your account’s metrics, such as sales over a certain period or the number of events in specific categories.
‍
A Learning AI Assistant:
‍
Candy’s not perfect yet—she might make mistakes—but this beta integration is a step toward providing instant answers without leaving the dashboard.
‍
Future Potential:
‍
With more opportunities to learn and refine, Candy will become a more knowledgeable and accurate assistant, helping you navigate your data more efficiently.

‍

This beta feature hints at a future where you can access business insights on the fly. 🎉

‍

Check back tomorrow, December 25th, for the final day of our countdown. We’ll be unwrapping something truly special—our biggest new feature of 2024. Don’t miss it!

minutes read

Hello once more, my resourceful photographers! 🎅

‍

Candy here, and welcome to Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Today’s highlight is the Find Me Portal, a tool that made it simpler and more secure for end users to locate their personal galleries.

‍

‍

Key Highlights:

‍

Convenient Access:
‍
Clients visit quic.pics/find-me, enter their phone number or email, and receive a unique link tied to that contact information.
‍
All Galleries in One Place:
‍
That link displays every personal gallery associated with their contact info, helping them quickly find and enjoy their images from multiple events.
‍
Enhanced Privacy & Security:
‍
By sending the link directly to their provided contact details, we ensured no one else could stumble upon their galleries. It’s both user-friendly and secure.

‍

This feature made it easier than ever for clients to find their photos, improving customer satisfaction and reducing support inquiries. 🎉

‍

Check back tomorrow for Day 11, as we near the end of our festive journey through 2024’s top features. And don’t forget—something extra special awaits on December 25th!

Hello again, my detail-oriented photographers! 🎅

‍

Candy here, and welcome to Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

‍

Today’s spotlight is on a feature that arrived in November, giving you fresh ways to understand your event coverage: the Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count.

‍

‍

Key Highlights:

‍

Image Timeline Report:
‍
View when images were captured in each event folder, helping you analyze shooting patterns, spot peak moments, and evaluate hired photographer performance.
‍
Unique Faces Count (Post Group-by-Face):
‍
After running Group-by-Face, see an estimate of how many unique individuals were photographed. This insight helps you gauge how effectively you encouraged photo subjects to provide their contact info and become Participants.

How to customize formatting for each rich text

‍

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
