Your first job

A job is one photography assignment for a property. It keeps the order, appointments, services, invoice, and delivered media together.

Written By David Dayan

Take one real order through Photeria to learn how the pieces fit together. You can enter the order yourself, schedule the photographer, and deliver the finished media without setting up an online order form first.

1. Prepare the services you sell

Create your services with their prices and appointment requirements. If you sell a bundle, create a package for it.

Choose your payment settings before sending a client their invoice or media. If you require online payment, connect a payment processor first.

2. Create the job

Open Jobs → New Job. Choose the client, enter the property address and access instructions, and select the services they ordered. Use New Client if the agent is not in your client list yet.

Follow Creating a job for the full steps and appointment choices.

3. Schedule and complete the visit

Assign a photographer and appointment time. If the appointment was left unscheduled, arrange it from the job page when you know the date.

Open the appointment for property access details and to record arrival and completion. Keep editing or other follow-up work in the job's tasks.

4. Prepare the media and invoice

Open the linked listing and upload the finished media. Add the property information and build a property website if it is part of the order.

Review the client's invoice, including the items, total, and due date.

5. Deliver to the client

Send the delivery email from the listing. Review the message and the invoice you intend to include before sending it.

The client can open the media page from the email. Your payment settings determine whether they must pay before downloading. Share Downloading and sharing listing media if they need help collecting their files.

When you are ready for clients to place orders themselves, create an order form.
