Switching from Pixieset paid for my entire year of software in my first wedding. My couple ordered a 30x40 metal print and framed canvases for both sets of parents. Keeping 100% of my markup put $410 straight into my bank account on a single order.

"The digital allotment feature is pure genius. I include 10 digitals in my session fee. Every single mom hits the limit and buys the remaining 25 images right inside the gallery with Apple Pay. It added $350 in pure profit to every session."

Do you really charge 0% commission on print sales?
↓
Yes, 0% on every plan. We believe software should be a predictable utility, not an equity partner taking a cut of your art. You pay your fixed monthly subscription and the wholesale cost of McKenna Pro's lab products. You keep 100% of your retail profit.
Can clients download photos directly to smartphones without third-party apps?
↓
Yes. Clients can download single high-resolution files, web-sized social files, or entire ZIP archives directly to their iPhone Camera Roll or Android photo gallery in Safari or Chrome without installing third-party apps.
Can I review and approve print orders before they go to McKenna Pro?
↓
Absolutely. You can toggle 'Studio Approval Required' on any gallery to inspect client crops, apply final skin retouching, or swap files before the order is automatically printed and shipped by McKenna Pro.
How do digital allotments and extra photo upsells work?
↓
You can set an included photo quota (e.g., 10 or 15 digitals) with your session fee. In the gallery, clients see a real-time progress bar. When they favorite additional photos, our built-in checkout lets them unlock the extras individually ($15/ea) or buy the entire gallery ($199) with one-click Apple Pay.
What is your trial policy and risk reversal?
↓
Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required to begin. If you don't love the speed, PIN security, and extra print profits, you can walk away anytime with one click.
