Packages

A package is what a customer buys to unlock the full-resolution files on a watermarked shoot that sells by package. Until a package-mode shoot has at least one package attached, customers can browse the watermarked previews but have nothing to purchase — so there’s no way for them to pay you or download their originals.

Prefer to price each photo on its own? Use individual photo pricing instead — it replaces packages for that shoot. See Customer access tiers.

What a package is

Each package describes one thing a customer can buy:

  • Name — what the customer sees, e.g. “5-photo collection” or “Full gallery”.
  • Description (optional) — a short line explaining what’s included.
  • Type — how it’s sold:
    • Bundle — a fixed set of items for one price (e.g. 10 photos for $99).
    • À-la-carte — the customer picks the individual items they want. (The gallery also shows the effective per-item price when a count is set.)
    • Pre-paid / Contract — for jobs already settled outside the gallery; this type isn’t shown to customers (see below).
  • Applies to — which media the package covers: Photos & Videos, Photos only, or Videos only.
  • Media count — how many items the customer selects under this package. Set an exact number (e.g. 5), or check Unlimited for “all of them”.
  • Price — what the customer pays, in USD. (Customer payments route directly to you — Skyforge takes no cut. See Payment setup.)

A customer who picks a “5 photos for $49” package chooses exactly 5 watermarked photos, pays $49, and unlocks those 5 originals.

Create a package

  1. Go to Admin → Packages & Pricing.
  2. Click New package.
  3. Fill in the name, type, applies to, media count (or Unlimited), and price.
  4. Save. The package is now available to attach to any watermarked shoot.

You can build a small menu of packages once and reuse them across shoots — there’s no need to recreate them per job. Editing or deleting a package only affects new purchases; orders customers already completed are unaffected.

Attach packages to a shoot

Packages are created at the workspace level, but customers only see the ones attached to their shoot.

  1. Open the shoot under Shoots and make sure its access tier is Watermarked.
  2. In the shoot’s Packages section, either:
    • pick an existing package from the dropdown and click Add, or
    • click Create new package to make one inline and attach it in one step.
  3. You can attach more than one package — the customer sees them all and picks the one they want.

A couple of things to know:

  • If a package’s media count is larger than the number of files in the shoot (e.g. a “10 photos” package on a 6-photo shoot), you’ll see a warning. The package still attaches, but the customer won’t be able to fill it — lower the count or add more media.
  • Switching a shoot to Prepaid hides its packages (prepaid shoots deliver everything directly with no purchase step). The packages aren’t deleted — switch the shoot back to Watermarked and they reappear.

What the customer sees

On a watermarked shoot, the customer’s gallery shows your packages as cards above the photos. They can:

  1. Tap a package to start selecting (a bundle caps the selection at its media count; an unlimited or à-la-carte package lets them keep adding),
  2. Review their selection and pay through the gallery, then
  3. Download the full-resolution originals for the items they bought.

They’re never charged twice for the same file, and they can come back and buy a different package later.

A note on the “Pre-paid” type

The Pre-paid / Contract package type is a record-keeping option for jobs you were paid for outside the gallery — it has no price and isn’t shown to customers. For delivering already-paid work, you usually want a prepaid shoot instead (which skips watermarking and packages entirely). See Customer access tiers.
