Client Galleries in PhotoBiz allow users to create private or public galleries where they can showcase their work and share it with clients or the public. These galleries often come with customizable options for organizing images, setting access permissions, and managing client interactions, such as allowing clients to view, select, and purchase photos directly from the gallery interface. This guide will walk you through how to create a new event in PhotoBiz client galleries.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on CLIENT GALLERIES in the left-side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on the NEW EVENT button.
Important Note: Events can be organized into different categories. By default, the new event will be created in the first category in your account, you can drag-and-drop it to a different category, or click on the category you want the event in before clicking new event.
STEP THREE
Configure your event settings.
You can configure the following options in the first section of your event settings.
- EVENT NAME: First name your event, by typing in the event name field. This will be visible to your customer and determine the URL for where your customers access the event (yourdomain.com/proofing/event-name).
- PRICE LIST: If you have Ecommerce on your account, you can select a price list to allow purchasing from your Client Galleries event.
- EXPIRATION DATE: Then set an expiration date. By default it is set to one month from the day you create the event.
- PASSWORD: While this is optional, it allows people to go to yourdomain.com/proofing to enter their password and get into their event.
- COVER PAGE EMAIL COLLECTION: This forces anyone who accesses the client galleries event to leave an email that is captured into your CRM so you can see who has looked at the photos as well as remarket to them with the email automation settings in the next section.
The next section controls the EMAIL AUTOMATION SERIES for your Client Galleries event. You can activate your email series in this section from the drop down menu.

Then you can choose if you want to allow customers to download images from the event. By default this is set to no.
You have the option to turn on digital downloads for anyone accessing the event, or only those with a code and you choose what that code is by typing in the box below yes, with code. This will prompt people to enter a code when they click the download button, and only allow them to if they enter the correct code.
You also have the option for people to download images at Web Resolution, High Resolution, or Original Resolution. High resolution allows for downloads to be printed up to 11"x14'' if the images you uploaded are at least 3000x1730 pixels. Original Resolution allows the client to download files up to 25MB.
NOTE: Original Resolution is an additional add on and can be added by going to the Premium Features tab in the account.
Finally, you get to choose if you will allow favorites, sharing, comments, and if you will display file names in your event. By default favorites, sharing, and comments are allowed. However, by default file names are not displayed.
After you have modified the settings for your event, click create event. This will take you into your event to load images.
FINAL STEP
Once you've created your event, the last step is to upload your images.
