How To Use a Subdomain with Client Galleries

How to Connect PhotoBiz Client Galleries to a Third-Party Website

Overview

If your website is hosted outside of PhotoBiz but you are using PhotoBiz Client Galleries, you can still connect your galleries so clients can access them from your site. This setup is less common and is typically used when your domain and website are managed by a third-party provider.

This article walks you through two ways to connect your Client Galleries: using your default PhotoBiz domain or setting up a custom subdomain. By the end, you will have a working link that allows clients to log into their galleries from your website.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

You are using a third-party website (not the PhotoBiz Website Builder)
You have access to edit your website content or navigation
You have access to your domain DNS settings (for custom subdomain setup)

OPTION 1

Use Your Shared Domain Login Page

Every Client Galleries account includes a shared domain (yourstudio.photobiz.com/proofing) that you can link to your website.
This is the fastest and easiest way to get started.

But if you want your galleries to match your website's domain, check out Option 2.

OPTION 2

Use a Subdomain (Recommended for a Custom Domain)

To make your Client Galleries feel more integrated with your website, you can create a custom subdomain like clients.yourdomain.com.

⚙️ STEP ONE

CREATE AN A-RECORD

In your domain's DNS settings (usually managed by your registrar), create a new A-record with these settings:

Type: A
Host/Subdomain: clients
Points to IP Address: 18.235.135.157

So it looks like:

clients.yourdomain.com → 18.235.135.157

Not sure how to do this? Contact your domain provider or DNS host for help updating your DNS records.

📩 STEP TWO

LET US KNOW

Once your A-record is set up, contact our Passionate Support Team so we can finish the connection on our end.

to access their events and galleries.
