Configure the Viewing module and collections

Module setup



To activate the module, click Modules in the left-hand menu, then All modules. Look for Viewing and sale, click Enable, then reload the page.


Then go to the Viewing module settings (Modules menu > Viewing session).


On this page, two cards act as shortcuts:



Set your default values


Default values apply to all your viewing sessions.
You can then adjust them session by session without ever touching your account default.

1. Digital photo pack


If you sell digital files as well as prints, turn on Offer a digital photo pack. Fill in:

  • the number of photos included in the base pack
  • extra tiers if needed (e.g. +5 photos at one price, +10 at another). Leave the list empty to offer only per-photo purchases
  • the price per photo beyond the quota


2. Identity, music and catalog


Visual identity: logo and color used during the session (opening and closing cards of the slideshow, start screen background). By default, your main identity.
Music: choose a track from your built-in library (search by title, genre, mood), or several in a row as a playlist. Directly in the viewing session, you can also import your own MP3.


3. Slideshow


Choose the font for the texts (the same Google Fonts as your visual identity), as well as the default texts of the opening card (session name, client name, date) and the closing card (thank-you message).


4. My default lists


On top of the Love / Like / No rating (which is exclusive: a photo has only one of these three statuses), you can create selection lists to sort your photos by their final use. A photo can belong to several lists at the same time.
Create here the lists you want to find automatically in every new session (e.g. "Album selection", "Free prints"): name, color, and a maximum quota if you don't want the list to go over a certain number of photos.


These lists are only offered on a session that hasn't started yet (no rating or cart saved). As soon as you actually use one of them during a real session, it becomes specific to that session, and you can edit or delete it without touching your defaults.


5. Catalogs


Catalog of products offered during the session: choose whether your client can be offered all your active products or only those from a specific price catalog (handy if you have different catalogs depending on the type of client or session).


6. Order form


Order form tab (in the global defaults only): enter your Order form notes, for example your delivery times, your terms or the deposit required. This text appears on all your order forms, just above the signature. You can adapt it form by form from each session's order form (see Sell during the viewing session).


Customize a specific session type

Below the global defaults, a section lists your session types (wedding, newborn...). Open the one you want to adapt: it starts from a copy of the global settings, which you can edit independently. A Revert to global defaults button cancels this customization at any time.

Configure products and collections



This setting is done directly in your usual product catalog (Modules > Prices). It only appears if the module is enabled on your account.

  1. Open your product and go to its variants table (you need at least one variant, e.g. size 20×30).
  2. A Frame column is visible: click the icon to open the setup for that specific variant.

  1. Choose the style:
    • No frame (default)
    • Classic frame: color (presets or custom) + width of the visible moulding (in cm)
    • Gallery wrap (canvas box): color of the sides/edge + width of an optional thin floater frame + stretcher bar depth, which changes how strong the drop shadow generated in the module is

  1. Add a mat if needed (width + color), available for both styles.
  2. Tick Apply this frame to all variants of this product to avoid repeating the setup size by size.

This setting is purely visual: it has no impact on prices, quotes or invoices. It applies automatically everywhere this product is used during a viewing session (actual-size projection, room view, collections).


Create your collections for sale


A collection groups several photos into a single visual (triptych, photo wall...), which you then offer in one or more variants (different sizes/prices for the same layout).

1. Create the group


From Viewing session > Collections for sale card > Manage collections > New collection:


  • Name of the collection (e.g. "Prestige trilogy")
  • Status: active or not (an inactive collection isn't offered in any session)
  • Availability: the session types concerned, or leave everything unticked to offer it for all session types

A first variant is created automatically, and you're taken to its editor.

2. Design the visual of each variant


Each variant is a completely independent composition (its own visual, its own openings, its own price): for example, you can offer the same triptych in 20×30 cm and 30×30 cm, with different layouts if needed.

  1. Start from a template (Triptych, Diptych, Folio, Row of 4, 2×2 Square, 3×2 Grid, "1+4", Large+3, Photo wall, Panorama+2) or build from scratch.
  2. Add blocks:
    • Photo opening: a free photo slot, not linked to a product, which the client fills in during the session.
    • From a product: locks the slot to a real product from your catalog, with its actual size and its frame already set up (see previous section). Its size follows the chosen product; a selector lets you change variant or product without dragging a handle.
    • Sub-collection: nests another of your existing collections inside this one.
  3. Move and resize each block with the mouse (automatic snapping to edges/centers, sizes rounded to the centimeter), and rotate a single block or the whole composition at once for a collage effect.


3. Set the price

  • Label of the variant (e.g. "90×40 cm")
  • Price excl. tax, with a price incl. tax preview calculated automatically
  • If your composition contains at least one "From a product" block, a price suggestion appears (sum of the products used): click "Add a variant with this price" to create a new pre-filled variant, which you can still edit afterwards

4. Duplicate a variant

To offer the same collection in another size, use the "Duplicate this variant" button (in the editor) or "Duplicate" (in the group's list of variants), then adjust your products and dimensions.
