Everything in one place

From the first enquiry to the wedding day

The paperwork side of a photography business, done properly, without a pile of separate tools.

Enquiries that arrive sorted Free

A form that sits right on your website, an instant thank-you to the client, and a Leads inbox that shows you what's new.

A pipeline you can see Free

Drag each lead from first contact to booked, and turn it into a job in one click.

Packages clients choose from Free

Build packages from what's included, add optional extras, and let clients pick on your proposal.

Contracts signed on a phone

Typed or drawn signatures, a signed PDF and a record of every step. Three a month on the free plan.

Invoices with deposits Free

Split any invoice into a deposit and a balance. Clients pay by card, straight into your account.

Online booking Free

Clients pick a time on your booking page, and the contract and deposit go out on their own.

The booking link

Your client picks a package, signs and pays. In one link.

Put your proposal, questionnaire, contract and deposit behind one link. Your client works through it page by page on their phone, and the job moves to Booked when they pay.

  • Package cards showing what's included, with one marked Recommended
  • Optional extras with quantities, and a total that adds up as they go
  • Pages unlock in order, so nobody pays before they've signed
The pipeline

Every enquiry, where you can see it.

Enquiries from your website land on a board you set up your way. Drag a lead along as the conversation moves, and turn it into a job when they say yes.

  • Your own stages, from first contact to booked
  • The date, venue and couple carry over to the job
  • Search every client, lead and job from anywhere
Payments

Deposits and balances, paid to you. No cut.

Clients pay by card into your own Stripe account. Shutterflow takes nothing from your bookings on any plan, including the free one. Stripe's usual card fees apply.

  • A deposit and a balance, each with its own due date
  • GST worked out on every line for Australian studios
  • Invoices in Australian or US dollars
Contracts

Signed on their phone. Kept on record.

Start from the photography agreement that comes with your account, or paste your own. Your client signs in the browser, and you keep a signed PDF that can't be changed.

  • Names, date, venue and package filled in for you
  • A record of when it was sent, opened and signed
  • Three contracts a month on the free plan

  • It can only read. Nothing is sent, changed or deleted
  • On the Studio plan, with a 7-day try-out on Free

Questions about free

Is the free plan really free, with no time limit?

Yes. There's no trial clock and no card to enter. You can run real bookings on the free plan for as long as it covers what you need.

What happens when I reach a monthly amount?

Sending the next one asks you to upgrade to Studio, or it waits for the 1st. Nothing you've already sent stops working, and anything your client does, like signing, paying or booking online, always goes through.

Do you take a percentage of my payments?

No, on any plan. Clients pay into your own Stripe account and the money is yours. Stripe charges its standard card fees, the same as it would anywhere else.

Can I bring my clients across from another tool?

Yes. Import your clients and jobs from a spreadsheet, whichever tool it came from: you match the columns and check a preview first. Or just run your next enquiry through Shutterflow and let current bookings finish where they are. How switching works
