Quick answers for busy graduation photographers.
What is the best NowCandid workflow for graduation photography?
Selfie Check-In™ is the recommended starting point for most GradPics ceremonies. Graduates scan an event QR code, take a reference selfie, and add contact information. Face Matching then connects their uploaded photos with their personal galleries. Other workflows are available when your ceremony needs a different setup.
How does NowCandid help graduation photographers deliver galleries faster?
Face Matching reduces manual sorting, and automated text and email send personal gallery links as matched images become available. Live uploading can make galleries available on graduation day; you can also upload after the ceremony.
Can families order graduation prints and downloads online?
Yes. Families can order downloads, prints, packages, tassel frames, graduation plaques, and graduation cards from a mobile-friendly store. You choose the products, prices, and shipping charges in your Offer before the event.
Can NowCandid help with high-volume graduation ceremonies?
Yes. GradPics supports high-volume ceremonies with hundreds or thousands of graduates. Image matching, personal galleries, automated messaging, and online ordering help keep the job organized from capture through fulfillment.
Do graduation photographers need to upload images live?
No. Upload during the ceremony for faster gallery access, or edit and upload afterward from a computer. Choose based on staffing, internet access, and when you want photos available to families.
How does Group-by-Face help graduation galleries?
When enabled, Group-by-Face lets shoppers tap a face in a photo to browse that person’s images. It helps families explore friend and class photos beyond one graduate’s personal set, according to the event’s gallery access settings.
Does GradPics require a subscription?
No. There are no subscription, license, or onboarding fees. Product sales carry a 5% ecommerce fee and a 3% processing fee, plus applicable product and shipping costs. Neither percentage is charged on collected sales tax.
Face Matching, background removal, automated marketing, retail support, and long-term image hosting are included without separate add-on fees. Optional AI edits have usage-based costs.
Is the GradPics family store mobile-friendly?
Yes. Graduates, parents, and relatives can view galleries, choose products, and complete checkout from their phones. No guest app download or desktop computer is required.
Can graduates check in after the ceremony?
Yes. Selfie Check-In can remain available after the event, so graduates who missed check-in can still connect with their photos. Share the event’s check-in link and plan availability around your gallery and marketing settings.
Do graduation AI edits cost extra?
Yes. Advanced AI Image Editing has usage-based costs. Core tools such as Face Matching and background removal are included without separate add-on fees. Review the selected edit’s price in the Dashboard before using it.
