Packages
Packages bundle several products at one price. Parents buy the whole set with one click. For you that means a higher order value with less effort.
At a glance
- Three package types: Standard Package, All Digital Photos and Selectable Digital Photos.
- With several copies, parents choose a separate photo for each.
- Like products, packages only appear in the shop once they are in the job.
Under Packages you see all packages with type, price, contents and status. Change the order with the handle, just like products. They appear in the shop in this order.
- 1Load template starts with a ready-made package. New Package starts empty.
- 2Type: Standard, All Digital Photos or a selection with a number of photos.
- 3Price: the package price parents pay.
- 4Contains: how many products are in the package and which ones.
| Package type | Parents get | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Package | a fixed set of products, such as two prints and a file | print sets and combo offers |
| All Digital Photos | all photos of their access code as files | families who want everything |
| Selectable Digital Photos | a fixed number of photos of their choice as files | affordable entry packages |
Package templates shows ready-made packages with images: combo, print and digital packages. The image shows the contents, with price and discount below.
Select packages and click Next. In the second step you see contents, name and price.
- 1Contents: Pixalo uses matching products from your catalogue (available). If one is missing, it says will be created.
- 2Create: creates missing products and the packages in one step.
An unchanged price stays a discount
The Standard Package combines any products and quantities. On the right the Shop Preview shows the package price, the savings and the contents.
- 1Package type: the box below explains the chosen type.
- 2Package name: what the package is called in the shop and on the invoice. Item number and description follow below.
- 3Pricing Method and Package Price: a fixed price or a percentage discount on the sum of the single prices.
- 4Shop Preview: crossed-out single price, discount in percent and the contents. Above it you choose a Package Image.
- 5Order limit per access code: limits how often the package can be ordered with one code.
Manual Entry
You type the package price yourself. Optionally an Original Price shows the old price crossed out.
Percentage Discount
Pixalo works out the package price from the sum of the single prices minus your discount. If product prices change, the package follows.
No discount?
Under Products in Package you put the contents together. Pixalo adds up the value of the single products.
- 1Add products: search and a list of all variants. Ones already included say Added.
- 2Photo choice note: explains what a quantity above 1 means for parents.
- 3Photos selectable: with 2 prints, parents choose 2 photos. Change the quantity with plus and minus.
One photo per copy
With one click parents buy all photos of their access code as files. They choose no products. Pixalo automatically takes all released photos.
- 1Package type All Digital Photos: the cards explain the process and the requirement.
- 2Package Price: a fixed price, no matter how many photos a child has.
- 3Shop Preview: parents see the Buy All Photos button.
- Digital product as a template: below you choose a digital product. Its name appears in the order and on the invoice. Its price does not matter.
- If you have no digital product yet, create one first under Products.
- A fair fixed price raises the order value noticeably. Many studios use roughly the price of five single files.
Parents choose a fixed number of favourite photos, such as 5 out of 20, and get them as files at the package price.
- 1Photo Limit: how many photos parents choose. No more and no fewer.
- 1In the shop the package opens a selection window.
- 2Parents choose exactly the set number of photos.
- The package is in the cart. The selection can still be changed there.
Offer tiers
A package only appears once you add it to the job under Products & prices in Packages in this event. Also:
- Group photos print only: packages with an image file are not offered for group photos. Digital packages then contain no group photos. More under Products.
- Free: if all products in the package are free, the package costs 0 too. Pixalo points this out.
- Discount codes apply to packages too. More under Discount codes.
Frequently asked questions
When is a package worth it?
As soon as you want to offer several products together for less. A single product needs no package. Create it directly under Products.
Does the package price change when I change product prices?
Not with manual entry. With a percentage discount Pixalo recalculates the price from the current single prices. Existing orders stay unchanged.
Why is a package missing for a group photo?
Group photos print only is switched on in the job. Group photos are then only available as prints or photo gifts.
What happens when I delete a package?
The package disappears from the catalogue and the jobs. The products it contained remain. Existing orders stay unchanged.
