AfterShutter is overflowing with custom features! Here are a few...
FREE TRIAL! Download the free trial (coming soon) to give it a whirl before you buy. The free trial is fully functional, so you can even start taking orders from your clients!
No commissions! No recurring fees! AfterShutter is a one-time purchase, and that's all you pay to AfterShutter.
Images are right-click and drag-and-drop protected.
All fonts, colors, buttons, and logos are customizable so you can configure your storefront to match your website perfectly.
Black & White previews that are visually pleasing and not "muddy" like many web-based grayscale conversions.
Multi-image package/collections so your customers can fill a package using different images and add it to their shopping cart as a complete package for one price.
Custom shopping cart which includes thumbnail views, the ability for customers to add notes and options to items, as well as submit the order with PayPal payment or without payment (mail a check later, or call in a credit card number).
Extensive administration area for managing pricing, collections/package, galleries, and orders. Discount codes, coupon codes, and minimum order requirements can also be created inside the administration area.
"View Slideshow" icon so you can enter the URL of a client's slideshow and when the client clicks on the icon, that client's slideshow (that you have created with your favorite slideshow program) opens in a new window.
"Zoom" icon allows clients to open a new window and see a larger version of the current image. Choose to initially display a smaller size to conserve space on the client's screen, and provide the "zoom" tool so the image can be viewed in a new window at a larger size.
Optional expiration dates for galleries.
The ability to take a gallery "offline" so it's not publicly available but still inside your system. Delete it later, or change it back to "online" if the client wants their gallery back without having to re-create the gallery from scratch.
Assign a "showcase" image to each gallery, which will appear with more gallery info (expiration date, etc.) when a visitor hovers over the gallery name on your entry page. This keeps your entry page streamlined and uncluttered, but allows you to still showcase a favorite image for each gallery.
Optional "categories" let you easily split your galleries into various groups -- weddings, sports, portraits, etc.
You can adjust the width of the thumbnail area to accommodate larger thumbnails.
You can choose to have pricing menus across the bottom of your galleries, or down one side, depending on your photographic style and your own preference.
You will be able to offer as many items for sale as you like from as many vendors as you like -- prints, fine art, jewelry, photo gifts, whatever your clients love.
Assign & upload descriptive images for the specialty items you sell. When a customer is browsing the items inside a pricing menu pull-down, the image you have assigned to each item will appear as they hover over that item in the menu. This is a great way to visually display specialty items without making your customers open multiple windows.
You can adjust the height of the header area to accommodate your own custom .jpg or html header.
Set as many pricing and menu sets as you want. Some clients can have special discounts; some clients can have certain items available for purchase; it's all up to you, and there is no limit to the number of pricing sets you can have.
Set up informative pop-up pages that you can use to give your customers important information like tax and shipping rates, descriptions of specialty items, etc.
Divide your pricing menus into groups to present a visually appealing list of items that are clearly separated into logical sets instead of one long list of items available for purchase.
Assign certain pricing groups to individual images. If a certain picture won't look good on a purse, you can set that picture so that customers can't buy purses with that picture! If a certain image is meant only to be purchased as a specialty collage and not a standard reprint, you can set that picture to only be purchased using your specialty items menu and not the standard prints and gift items menus!
You can make your own .swf with your favorite Flash program to replace the .jpg logo on the storefront.
Pay only 2.9% for PayPal credit card processing instead of 15-18% to other online gallery hosting providers.
