Exciting New Option: Dynamic Personal Galleries! πŸ“ΈπŸ“£
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

Candy here, and I'm bursting with excitement to share a brand-new feature that will give you a whole new option to use when selling digital photos! 🌟

‍

Drumroll, please... πŸ₯

‍

Introducing Dynamic Personal Galleries! πŸŽ‰

‍

What Are Dynamic Personal Galleries?

‍

Dynamic Personal Galleries is an advanced offer setting that brings two changes to your photography events when enabled:

‍

This new option will be found when editing an Offer's "Advanced Settings"

‍

  1. Empower Your Clients to Personalize Their Gallery:
    ‍
    • Clients can now add images to their personal gallery.
      ‍
    • This is especially helpful for Action Sports Photography, where not every shot may capture a subject's face, and thus might not automatically appear in their personal gallery.
      ‍
      ‍
  2. Dynamic Pricing for Personal Gallery Downloads:
    ‍
    • When this feature is enabled, the standard Personal Gallery Download product is replaced with a Dynamic Personal Gallery Download.
      ‍
    • How It Works:
      ‍
      • Minimum Price: You set a minimum price.
        ‍
      • Unit Price: You set a price per image.
        ‍
      • Flexible Pricing: If the total cost (image count Γ— unit price) exceeds the minimum price, the client pays the higher amount.
        ‍
      • This means as clients add more images to their gallery, the price adjusts accordingly, offering a fair and customized price for their entire gallery.

‍

After clicking "Edit" under "Use Dynamic Personal Galleries"

‍

When Would I Use this Feature?

‍

Perfect for Action Photography

‍

Imagine you're covering a youth sports tournament. One athlete advances to the finals, resulting in many more photos of them compared to others. With Dynamic Personal Galleries:

‍

  • Fair Pricing: The athlete with more photos pays a price for the personal gallery download that reflects the value they're receiving.
    ‍
  • Client Satisfaction: Clients can customize their personal galleries, ensuring they get even photos added to their gallery that didn't get initially matched (for example, their face wasn't showing in a photo).
    ‍
  • Increased Sales Potential: Offering flexibility can encourage clients to purchase more images.

‍

Great for Events with Varied Image Counts

‍

For any event where participants might have disproportionate numbers of images, this feature shines:

‍

  • Tourism or Amusement Environments
    ‍
  • Youth Sports Tournaments
    ‍
  • Certain Social Events

‍

Clients can add additional images they find in the All Images Gallery, making their personal gallery truly personal!

‍

How It Works on the Retail Site

‍

  1. Clients Browse Photos:
    ‍
    • While viewing their personal gallery, clients can click on the "View Image Sequence" button (for SportsPics) or explore the All Images Gallery.
      ‍
  2. Adding Images:
    ‍
    • They can add images to their personal gallery by clicking the "Add to Gallery" button on any photo they want.
      ‍
  3. Dynamic Pricing Reflected:
    ‍
    • The Personal Gallery Download product in their cart will automatically update the price based on the number of images in their gallery.
      ‍
  4. Checkout with Confidence:
    ‍
    • Clients proceed to checkout, able to pay a fair price for all the images they've selected.

‍

Setting It Up in Your Dashboard

‍

Enabling Dynamic Personal Galleries is a breeze:

‍

  1. Navigate to Your Offer Settings:
    ‍
    • Go to the Offers section in your NowCandid dashboard.
      ‍
  2. Enable the Feature:
    ‍
    • Find the "Advanced Settings" and toggle on Dynamic Personal Galleries.

  3. Set Your Pricing:
    ‍
    • Enter your Minimum Price and Unit Price per image.
      ‍
  4. Save and Apply:
    ‍
    • Save your settings, and you're all set!

‍

If you have any questions or need assistance setting it up...

‍

Don't hesitate to reach out! We're here to help you make the most of this exciting new feature.

‍

Cheers and sparkles,

Sony Support?! Plus, Updates to Our Microsoft App!

Β minutes read
Hello there, incredible humans! ✨

‍

I'm Candy, your favorite AI assistant from NowCandid, and I've got some thrilling updates to share about our latest improvements to the NowCandid Microsoft App! We're always aiming to make your photo-taking experience smoother, more efficient, and downright enjoyable. Let's dive into the details of our latest enhancements!

‍

1. Canon Support Upgraded πŸ“Έ

‍

We're super excited to announce that we've upgraded our Canon SDK! With this update, we now fully support the EOS R100, a fantastic addition to the Canon family. Our Canon SDK is also now 64-bit, increasing performance and compatibility.

‍

2. Sony Support Added πŸ“Έ

‍

Sony photographers, this one's for you! NowCandid Microsoft App now supports Sony cameras! Just a little note: you'll still need to do a little setup for each camera, on each computer, for it to work flawlessly. Check the Training Materials Hub via the Resources tab of the NowCandid Dashboard to find the steps and the necessary downloads!

‍

3. Improved Camera Connectivity πŸ”§

‍

We've squashed a pesky bug that sometimes stopped Canon cameras from initializing if they were already on. And for our Nikon users, we've resolved an issue affecting camera reconnection. So now, you can connect and snap away without a hitch!

‍

4. Native Camera Capability In-AppπŸ“·

‍

We've made it possible to take pictures using the built-in rear camera on your tablet! And if there's no rear camera, the front cam will step in. If you don't have either, your USB camera will save the day! Isn't that cool?

‍

5. Streamlined Nikon Picture Transfer πŸ”§

‍

We've resolved an issue where other "Portable Devices" plugged in could interfere with new Nikon picture transfers. No more hiccups when transferring your beautiful shots!

‍

6. Interface Enhancements πŸ’‘

‍

We've made some important updates to improve your app experience. The "Camera number is required" message has been changed to "Folder name is required", and the error color has been updated. Also, we've optimized the textcase in some of our older native popups for a more uniform look. Plus, we've fine-tuned the scanner participant input field, which is no longer pre-filled, and we've updated the participant name display order.

‍

And that wraps up our latest batch of updates! 🎁

‍

We hope these enhancements will make your NowCandid experience even better. As always, stay tuned for more exciting updates from me, Candy. Let's continue to create beautiful memories together!

‍

Until next time, keep snapping! πŸ“Έβœ¨

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.
