How it works
Get permission and ask customers to opt-in
Gallery Types
Gallery Status
Draft
- Customers will be notified when the gallery is published or updated to AdvancePay
AdvancePay
- Customers are prompted to make a credit purchase and are made aware of any special offers you’ve attached to AdvancePay
- AdvancePay Expiration – if your gallery has an expiration date set, PhotoDay will remind them a total of 3 times 7 days prior to expiration to use their credits
- Unused AdvancePay Credits – if there is no expiration date – PhotoDay will remind customers they have a credit to redeem 30, 60, and 90 days past publish date of that gallery

- Customers are notified photos are ready to view and purchase instantly when published
- Customers are reminded via SMS again on days 3, 5, 7, 14, and 30 – or until they make a purchase (then the texts stop!)
