Welcome to the brand-new GotPhoto shop!
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.
We've put in extra effort to make the new shop design intuitive, clean, and inviting on mobile devices, as this is the #1 way customers order their photos today.
As we introduce this redesign in stages, some features may not be available right from the start. Not everyone will have access to the new shop immediately, but we'll notify you via email as soon as it's available to you. Rest assured, we're working hard to enhance your experience, and you’ll see both new and familiar features rolling out soon. 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.

Current Limitations
As we roll out this exciting new feature, we'll be introducing new elements in a staggered fashion. At first, the languages available will be English, German & French.
In this first phase, the following features will not be accessible:
- Public jobs (i.e. jobs without access codes)
- Global Access Codes
- Shopping with multiple access codes from different jobs
- While your customers may be able to access another job and add it to their cart, any additional features (such as discount codes) will not be available.
- Price Profile Advanced Settings (i.e. mandatory package purchase, minimum order value)
- GotPhoto's Green Screen feature
- Offering free downloads
- Crop adjustments by customers (We recommend not offering any products that utilize crop guides — such as buttons, keychains, ornaments, or any non-standard aspect ratio products — if you do not want to utilize Manual Revision)
- Photo effects selected
- Customers adding additional information for customization (e.g. trading cards)
- "My Account" section
- Wishlist
- Primary color selection
- Social Networks
- Google Analytics tracking
- HTML adjustments (i.e. the Expert Shop Settings)

Please review the list above to see if your photo job meets these requirements.
