Welcome to the brand-new GotPhoto shop!
The new design is now available to everyone! We've designed a sleeker, more user-friendly interface for your shop, making it even easier for your customers to order photos. We've also enhanced the GotPhoto system behind the scenes to ensure a smoother shopping experience.
The new shop design has been thoughtfully optimized to be intuitive, clean, and user-friendly—particularly on mobile devices, which are the primary way customers order their photos today.
Additionally, the new shop offers an exclusive feature: The Retouching Feature (currently in Beta, US only).
Some features are coming soon—details about the current limitations are at the bottom of the article. We’re excited to bring you a smoother, feature-rich experience-stay tuned!
Activating the New Shop
The new shop is currently available on a job-by-job basis. Once you have received the notification email from GotPhoto, create a new Photo Job from within your GotPhoto dashboard. Open the Advanced settings section, and tick the Use the new proofing shop box.
Please note: Once you have created a job with the new proofing shop setting, you cannot revert to the old proofing shop style for this photo job. Likewise, an existing job cannot be switched over to the new shop. To change your shop style, please create a new Photo Job.
Testing Phase
As this is a new feature that is continually undergoing improvements, we ask that you first create a test job to be certain that everything in your account runs smoothly. Please follow these steps:
- Duplicate your favorite Price Profile(s).We recommend adding the words "Beta Test" in the Price Profile name.
- Remove all personalized products.
- Remove all Green Screen backgrounds.
- Create your test job using the instructions above.
- Add your duplicate Price Profile to your Photo Job.
- Upload some photos to your test job.
- Log in to your shop to make sure everything looks right.
