For School Portrait Photographers

The problem
Parents miss the order window because nobody emailed them three days before the deadline.
PixVend
Set an Order Deadline on each class gallery. The Marketing Automation plugin emails every NotifyMe subscriber the configured number of days before — and again a few days after the deadline as a last-call.
The problem
Three siblings, three different classes — the parent doesn't want to navigate three different galleries.
PixVend
Find My Photos searches every gallery you've uploaded by face. One selfie surfaces every kid's photos at once, across grades and classes.
The problem
Manual classlist management is a job in itself. You don't want to type 'Mrs. Johnson — Grade 2 — Section B' five times per upload.
PixVend
Folder-aware upload maps your folder hierarchy to galleries automatically. School → Grade → Section becomes the navigation, no typing.
The problem
Print orders for school photos are bread-and-butter, but the print platform you tried takes 25% of the markup.
PixVend
10–17.5% tiered markup commission (Starter to Enterprise) plus print drop-shipping via Prodigi. You set the markup; we handle fulfillment.
Tools that match the workflow
Per-gallery order deadlines
Set when each class's order window closes. Reminder + last-call emails fire automatically.
Find My Photos by face
Parents upload a selfie, get back every photo their kid is in — across every grade and section.
Folder-aware bulk upload
School → Grade → Section. Drop the folder, we recreate the hierarchy as galleries.
Email capture popups
Capture parent emails on the coming-soon page so the 'photos are live' email lands when galleries publish.
Print fulfillment
Prints, canvas, package deals (8x10, wallet sheets) drop-shipped via Prodigi. Print Bundles plugin sets up Good / Better / Best packages.
Discount codes for schools
Per-school or per-class codes — TEAM10, EARLYBIRD, RETAKE — with usage caps and expiry.
Frequently asked
How do parents find their kid's photos?+
Find My Photos lets a parent upload a selfie and search across every gallery you've uploaded — every grade, every section, every retake day. They see only photos their kid is in.
Can I set an order deadline per class?+
Yes. Each gallery has its own Order Deadline. The Marketing Automation plugin emails NotifyMe subscribers a configured number of days before (default 3) and again a few days after as a last-call.
How does pricing work for print packages?+
The Print Bundles plugin lets you build Good / Better / Best packages (e.g. 8x10 + four wallets + class composite). Buyers see the package price; prints drop-ship through Prodigi. You take a tiered commission on the markup above print cost.
Can I run a per-school discount code?+
Yes. The Discount Codes plugin scopes codes to a specific gallery or store-wide. Set usage caps and expiry. Codes apply automatically at checkout.
What plan fits a school photographer?+
Starter ($19.99 / month, 100 GB) covers most small operations. Pro ($49.99 / month, 1 TB) for districts. Business ($249.99 / month) for state-wide work where Find My Photos and advanced analytics matter most.
