When using the Existing Gallery Backup app, you are able to offer your client to purchase an annual subscription-based hosting for their gallery, keeping their gallery online and backed up safely in the cloud. The subscription automatically renews, and your client can safely access his gallery store at any time. This secures an additional source of revenue for your business.
Please Note: Pic-Time commission is collected for the Gallery Backup product for the subscription. For paid plans, the commission is USD $1+10% and for free plans the commission is USD $3+20%.
Add Existing Gallery Backup App
1. To get started, click on the Sales & Automation tab.
2. Under the Automations tab, select More Automations to add a new app.
3. Choose the Existing Gallery Backup app and click Install App.
4. Change the name of the app if you like and click Add Automation App.
Gallery Expiration
5. Modify the Gallery Expiration time. The expiration period will start once the app is assigned to the gallery. You will also be able to edit this date before you assign the app to the gallery.
Gallery Backup Product
6. Then modify the gallery backup product. Pic-Time commission will be collected from this product. The commission rates are $1+10% from a paid plan and $3+20% from a free plan.
7. The template provides the name, price, product description, product store tile and the subscription messages, so all you have to do is click Apply. You can also modify it to fit your voice and preferences.
Campaign Timeline
8. Set the Campaign Timeline. The campaign will start relative to the project expiration date. For example, if you select 14 days, the campaign will start 14 days prior to the project expiration date. This campaign will notify the Main Clients about the backup product and that their gallery is about to expire.
Discount
9. Now you can add a discount if you would like.
Please Note: the discount can apply to all products in your shop except for the Backup Product itself (this is due to a paypal limitation). Use this discount to promote any last minute shopping your clients would like to complete in their gallery.
10. Here you can modify the discount, description, code, whether you want to apply free shipping, whether you want to have a minimum order amount for this coupon, if you want to allow discount stacking or if you want to limit the coupon to specific products. For more information on what discounts you can offer, click here.
Main Client Emails
11. Then modify the emails sent to the Main Clients notifying them of their discount, their gallery expiration, and the Backup product. First adjust the trigger, if you would like to delay the announcement email and reminder emails. This will not delay the start of your campaign but only delay the email send time. Learn more about the Optimized Send Schedule here.
12. Now you can edit or delete any of the emails.
13. Editing emails is easy. Your announcement email will go out at the start of the campaign. You can also add email reminders before the expiration of the campaign. You can edit the email Design, Images, Content, and Style. Learn more about customizing emails and images here.
14. Once you have reviewed your text and design, click Apply to save your changes.
Banners
15. We can now begin customizing your banners. There are 5 types of banners: text banner, large banner, photo banner, product row, and store rotator. Each banner has various editable parameters. You can modify the design, text and style of the banners. Learn more about the banners here.
Gallery Backup Renewal
16. Then set up the Payment Reminder email. This will be sent two days before the subscription is set to renew.
17. The last step of the app is modifying the Gallery Backup Renewal Failure Email. This email will go out to your client if their card has failed to process for the gallery renewal the year after your client has purchased it.
17. Once you are done, you can leave any internal notes to yourself and click Save to save the app.
Assigning the App to Galleries
1. To apply to a group of galleries, click on the app itself from your list of installed apps.
2. Click Assign to Galleries.
3. This will open the assignment setup page. You can also apply the app to an individual gallery. Go to the gallery's Automations & Discounts tab and click + More Automations.
4. Select your app from the list of active apps. In the Assignment Setup page, you can select the galleries you want to send the campaign to, and edit the expiration date of the gallery.
5. Then click Apply and that’s it!
The app is now assigned to your gallery. If at any point the user would like to cancel their gallery backup subscription, they can do so directly from their Paypal Subscriptions page.
