GalleryDock client gallery with or without a store

Quick answer

Choose a client gallery with or without a store by checking payment status, included deliverables, extra image sales, and optional print offers. GalleryDock follows the gallery and store settings you choose; it does not infer contracts, payment status, included deliverables, or the right price for an assignment.

Workflow

Run a controlled client workflow

Keep each handoff explicit so the client and creative team know what happens next.

01

Confirm payment status

Identify what has already been paid outside or inside the gallery.

02

List included deliverables

Write down the exact files, quantities, or products included in the assignment.

03

Define optional purchases

Choose whether extra images or prints should be offered.

04

Configure and test

Open the client view and verify that delivery and purchase actions match the agreement.

Project-specific review

Keep every decision in context

Review the decisions that belong to this project instead of collecting vague approval messages.

Already paid

Deliver the agreed files without adding an unnecessary purchase step.

Package plus extras

Identify the included amount and price only the optional choices.

Purchase still open

Configure the store path to match what the client still needs to buy.

Optional wall art

Deliver the included digital work while presenting prints as a separate choice.

Quality control

Verify before the final handoff

A successful handoff needs a tested client path and an honest boundary around what the software does.

Test the client view

Open the client view on desktop and mobile. Check access, readable labels, media playback or product choices, and the next action without horizontal overflow.

Write for the client

Use names and instructions the client understands. Keep internal production language out of the final handoff unless it helps them make a decision.

Keep the product boundary clear

GalleryDock follows the gallery and store settings you choose; it does not infer contracts, payment status, included deliverables, or the right price for an assignment.

Close the loop deliberately

Resolve every open point, verify the intended final file or order state, and only then publish or deliver the next version.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this workflow

Does every client gallery need a store?

No. If all agreed files are already paid and no add-ons are offered, a clear delivery gallery may be the better path.

Can included images and paid extras share one gallery?

Yes, when the included amount and the additional purchase choices are configured and explained clearly.

What if the session has not been paid yet?

Use the sales path that matches the actual agreement and verify it before sharing; GalleryDock does not determine the contract for you.

Can I deliver digital files and still sell prints?

Yes. Keep included digital delivery distinct from the optional physical print offer.

Does GalleryDock detect what a client already paid for?

No. The photographer must configure the gallery to match the real agreement and payment state.

How should I test the decision?

Open the exact client view, confirm downloads and included items, inspect every paid option, and stop the checkout test before purchase.
