How to create shoot packages? How to use associated shoots?

If you offer packages (maternity & newborn, wedding & engagement, etc.), you will need to create several shoots linked to each other.


First, create the main shoot. It serves as the reference for all the administrative side (contract, quote, invoices, etc.).


Then, in this main shoot's page, open the ⋮ menu at the top right and click Add a linked shooting. This creates a second shoot, linked to the first one.


Shoot page


In the creation window, you can choose the settings of your associated shoot: shoot type, date, workflow, etc.


Then there are two scenarios:


1. The client chooses a package from the start


In this case, all the administrative side is handled in the main shoot. Leave the option "Use the main shoot for the contract and invoicing" switched on.


In the new shoot, you don't need to create a contract, quote or invoice, since everything is handled in the main shoot. The "Estimates and invoices" and "Contracts" tabs don't even appear in it.

2. The client books a second shoot later, outside a package


In this case, you need to handle part of the administrative side in the associated shoot, since this service was not included in the main shoot. Switch off the option "Use the main shoot for the contract and invoicing".


In the new shoot, you can then create contracts, quotes and invoices for this new service.


Examples


Case 1


The client wants to book a maternity + newborn package.


You create the main shoot with the Maternity type. It will hold the quote, the contract and the invoices for the package.


Then you create an associated shoot with the Newborn type, leaving the option "Use the main shoot for the contract and invoicing" on, because all the billing is already handled in the main shoot.


Case 2


The client wants to book a wedding.


You create the main shoot with the Wedding type. It will hold the quote, the contract and the invoices for the wedding.


Later, before the wedding, the client also wants to book an engagement session.


You then create an associated shoot with the Engagement type and switch off the option "Use the main shoot for the contract and invoicing", because you will need new billing for this extra service.
