All-in-one for photo & video businesses
ShootPortal is photography business management software for client-commissioned work. Clients, projects, estimates, scheduling, payments, video review, and delivery share one system and one branded portal, so the business side takes less of your week.
Real ShootPortal screens from a live account. Client details are blurred.
The other half of the job
The other half is inquiries, quotes, schedules, revisions, invoices, and deliveries, usually spread across more apps than clients.
A form builder, a calendar, an invoicing app, a file transfer service, and your inbox, each with its own login.
Who ordered what, what they paid, and what they prefer lives in memory and old emails.
You can't see at a glance which jobs need a quote, a shoot date, an edit, or a payment.
Files go out before payment, and outstanding balances hide in a separate app.
Clients get a form from one tool, a link from another, and an invoice from a third.
Bringing on a second shooter or editor means sharing logins or forwarding everything.

A 52-second tour of real ShootPortal screens: requests, proposals, the calendar, the pipeline, video review, payments, share links, and your own brand and domain.

Product tour
Pick an area to see how it works. Every view is a real ShootPortal screen, with client details blurred.
Clients request a service from your catalog with the address, a preferred date, and notes. ShootPortal creates the project and the client record, can send a preliminary estimate automatically, and you follow with an official proposal the client approves in the portal.
Propose a shoot time and the client accepts, declines, or counters. Shoots push to your Google Calendar and your Google events show on the ShootPortal calendar. Details on the photography booking software page.
Every job moves through eight stages from New Request to Delivered. Each client record keeps contact details, notes, a message and activity timeline, project history, lifetime revenue, and outstanding balance.
Request payment from the project and clients pay by card through Stripe Checkout into your own Stripe account. Take a deposit on approval, request the balance later, and mark offline payments paid. See photography invoicing software.
Clients comment at exact timestamps, pinned to the frame, and approve each deliverable or request changes. You post numbered versions on the same review. More on video review software.
Deliver photos, video, 360 tours, 3D embeds, and documents in the client's portal, with original or 2048px downloads and ZIP files. Downloads can wait until the project is paid and delivered.
