Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    List what you need to manage

    Photography businesses typically manage: client bookings, shoot details, gallery delivery, licensing agreements, image metadata, and invoice tracking.

  2. 2

    Describe the app to Appaca

    Tell Appaca: "Build a photography management app with bookings (client name, shoot type, date, location, package, deposit status), a post-shoot workflow (culling, editing, delivery deadlines), gallery delivery status, and invoice tracking per booking."

  3. 3

    Set up booking records

    Add each booked shoot with client contact, date, location, and agreed package. This is your live calendar of upcoming work.

  4. 4

    Track post-shoot workflow

    After each shoot, update the workflow stages: images backed up → culled → edited → delivered. Set deadline dates for each stage to stay on schedule.

  5. 5

    Log gallery deliveries

    When a gallery is delivered, record the delivery date and link. Track whether the client has accessed the gallery and confirmed receipt.

  6. 6

    Manage invoices and payments

    Track deposits received, final invoices sent, and payments received. Flag overdue payments for follow-up.
