I would love a design option/config such as attached for ease of client use.

Photos on the left, Packs on the right, your choices at the bottom.

This also helps with choosing packs as you can see & compare all images at once.
It makes choosing easier and faster, and less likely for a client to declare "too hard" and come back later ( maybe never! )

I also find the scroll button a bit glitchy when I manually key an order for clients having trouble - which validates their concerns, plus you can only see one pic at a time or you need to flick in & out, back and forth etc.  It is the biggest bugbear when asking for feedback - "ease of use".

Thankyou.

For customers that place orders for images that can be downloaded (e.g. instant downloads, add a digital image to a print purchase, etc), I would really like to have the ability to send an image release stating what they can and cannot do with the images. Ideally, Sytist would generate a PDF with the image release and purchased images on it after an order is placed and send it as an email attachment. But, sending a separate image release email with thumbnails of the purchased images would suffice.

I looked for a way to add a message to orders with Download-type products are purchased similar to the "Add Message To Order" option for services, but couldn't find a way to do it.

I would need:

1) automatic email cronjob that notifies of price list changes
2) ability to set 3 price lists with automatic dates (currently two)
3) PRINT, download, other. PRINT with mandatory entry of shipping address.
4) enable the crop function (as well as for "prints") also in "other" photos. for my workflow I prefer to use "other" instead of "download"
5) if gallery expired, allow those who have photos in the cart to complete the order
6) manually enter expenses in a gallery (cost of photographers, assistants, travel etc and have a report that goes beyond the gross profit but adds the net profit
7) The opt-out cancellation link that is added to automatic emails is immediately definitive, better to have a page or popup that asks for confirmation
8) be able to decide on each GALLERY whether access is mandatory only for registered people, now it is only at the CATEGORY SECTION level
9) in the order summary where there is the shipping address, the button to copy has been added, I would need a copy button for each row and one for the phone, because where I have to paste them they are separate cells


thanks

I would like to have the ability to override the price list minimum order amount and set it for a specific proof gallery.

I would like the _my_account_page_text_ field to only display on the top of the main Account page and not at the top of EVERY page/link within the Account section.

I would like the ability to create custom default email/text messages that I can select to be used for the custom order confirmation for services. As it is right now, I have to update the custom email section of each service with the text I want to use for the email. It would be a lot easier if I could just create a few standard "custom" confirmations and then select the one I want to use for each Service.


Also, there's no ability to send a custom text message for the order.

IT would be great to be able to turn off Account creation required to order per gallery.  Our situation is when we are at an event onsite, we offer gallery deposits to see photos from home, however the account creation process on people's mobile phone gets them frustrated.

I would like to have an HTML-enabled text area for each Account that will display in their "My Account" area right below the standard _my_account_page_text_ field.

I would like to have global "Additional Order Fields / Options" that are applied across the board and not just at a Price List level. For example, I would like a way to add a "How did you hear about us" dropdown to every checkout including orders for only services.

In the "Custom Order Confirmation Email" section for services, I would like to be able to select a "Default Email" from the list of email/text messages available. As it is right now, I have to edit the Custom Order Confirmation Email in multiple places each time I update it. It would be great to maintain it in once place.

I would like to have the option to send text messages for order confirmations, too.

I enable writing the email twice for gallery login 

if they are not equal, text appears:

"The re-typed email address you entered does not match the first one .. Please enter your correct email address " 
I can't find this in "DESIGN/PAGE TEXT" to change the language of my country


update 5.2:

now even if you get the email format wrong, the warning message is not translatable into design/page text

Multiple languages

Down here in the south we have a ton of Spanish customers that can not read or speak English.  I would love to have a multi language changer.

Is it possible to get Xero integration please?

It seems to be common with a lot of job management software eg Servicem8. So that any orders/invoices are automatically sent to Xero

It would be great if there was an upload option for customers, or better yet for several photographers working under 1 sytist website. So that they can sell their work, for example, as in a stock section or create galleries themselves with a front-end uploader. With the option to moderate photos and galleries by an admin before they are live on the website.

For customers, it could give opportunities to order print products or retouching services by uploading a file in their order.

Just some directions to think about, what I think a lot of colleagues can offer nice extra revenue models. Would definitely even want to pay extra to have these features in Sytist.

Another extra feature would be great to be able to sell video (clips) via sytist. Although I do understand that technically adds a whole dimension with the necessary support questions. Although many hosts have everything for photo websites (php, sql, gd library etcetera) there is video (ffmpeg?) Some difficulty with it. But still, it would be nice to be able to sell video!

Would be great to have better functionality within the calendar for client bookings.



1. The ability to set gaps between available bookings.
2. The ability to block out some sessions if we want to add a break or a gap at some stage.
3. The ability to auto add credit to customer accounts when they book a session

Now that we can import data from our booking calendar / pre-registers, how about the ability to email attendees with their unique QR code before the day of the photoshooot?  

All attendees to the event are sensible adults and will have their mobile devices available.

That way they can bring their own mobile devices for us to photograph their unique QR code rather than the photographer having to print them out and having to distribute to the relevant person.  They are emailed their passcodes after the photos have been uploaded and the gallery has gone live anyway.  

I have an event coming up where this would be ideal.  

Also, as subject name and contact name are the same (they are adults), is it possible to remove the subject field?

Hi #1 and 2 are already possible, not sure about #3, but you can manually add a credit.

If the licensing details aren't too wordy, you can add this right into the product description so they know before buying, and it shows in their order details. It's a simple way to have it all in one spot.

I would love to have the shipping options, additional order fields, and additional image options set up much like the Product Base and Price Lists are.
So we would create a base of shipping options, which can then be selected to add into a shipping group. Or additional order field base options, which then can be selected to add to a price list.
It feels like such a time waste when I need to re-type the same things when setting up new price lists and shipping groups.

I would love to have a way to sort or filter price lists. Folders would be great, but tags to filter would suffice too. The product base and the collections seem to have tags, but the price lists are just one long and messy list to scroll through.

Requests surrounding Forms:

1. Add the ability to Duplicate a form, so it's quick and easy to make a new one by tweaking the duplicate of an older one.

2. When creating a form, add some sort of indicator to show if a field has been set as mandatory without having to go into the edit for that field. (This shows with an * in the actual form, but not in the create/edit module.)

3. Add a signature field in forms. (Helpful to use for things like model releases when a client account hasn't been created yet so a Contract isn't an option.) 

4.  When creating a form, there is an option to add a text/information field that doesn't require customer input. This is very helpful BUT that information doesn't show in the submitted form. I want these details to be sent to me and the client. Can a "show in submitted form?" checkbox be added to that field option?

The following was posted in the wrong area. Moved it to Feature Requests after realizing my error:

Is, or could there be, a way to offer a subscription to "view photos"? I know I can set individual galleries to pay-to-access. But, as we deal with families who have multiple children in multiple events I am reluctant to charge per event. An annual or day pass, on the surface, seems like it would help us reduce the number of people visiting to take screen shots of our work. Yep, they get the logo, too, but based on the Facebook pages and senior photo board displays I've seen, they simply don't care about that. A subscription won't stop screen shots but would allow us to collect something up front for the all of people viewing but not buying.
