How-to: Photo pricing

Set your photo prices

Set a price once for your whole store, then change it only where you need to. An event's price covers every day and court inside it, and any single gallery can go higher, lower or off sale.

Included on every plan. 5 steps. Last checked September 28, 2026.

Step 2 of 5

Price a whole event at once

You

Open the event's settings (the gear on its tile in the Site Organizer) and pick the Pricing tab. Every day, time slot and court inside it follows this price.

a

Digital PriceThe price for every photo in this event. Leave it empty to use your store price.

b

What it falls back toThe grey line says which price applies when the box is empty, and where it comes from.

c

Save SettingsThe galleries inside pick it up straight away.

Step 4 of 5

Sell web, print and full-size files at different prices

You

Optional. Tiered pricing lets buyers choose a smaller, cheaper file or pay more for your original. Turn it on in the gallery that holds the photos.

a

Enable tiered pricingWorks on the gallery whose photos buyers open, such as Court 1. A folder's tiers don't pass down to the galleries inside it.

b

Web, Print, Full ResA price for each size. Leave one empty and that size isn't offered.

c

Digital Price still appliesThe price shown on the gallery page still comes from here, or from the event when this box is empty.

d

Volume pricingBuy more, pay less: set a lower price per photo after a quantity. Also set on the gallery that holds the photos.

Next: step 5

Step 5 of 5

Buyers pick a size and pay

Buyers

In the photo viewer, the Digital tab lists the sizes you offer with their prices. Checkout charges exactly what's shown.

b

Full ResolutionYour original file, exactly as uploaded.

c

Which price wins

PixVend uses the first price it finds, from the photo up:

1. Gallery

The price on the gallery that holds the photo.

2. Folders

The nearest folder above it with a price: the day, then the event, and so on up.

3. Store

Your Digital Download Price in Gallery Defaults.

4. None

No price anywhere means not for sale. Buyers can still view the photos.

Good to know

How do I price a whole folder of events at once?
Set the price on the folder, and every event inside follows it. To set a price across many galleries you've already priced, use Bulk settings for everything below in the folder's actions.
How do I make a gallery free?
A price of 0 takes it off sale. For free downloads to clients, use a client page instead.
Where are print prices?
Store Settings, Print Pricing. Prints are priced separately from downloads.
Does changing a price affect past orders?
No. Orders keep the price the buyer paid.
