A step-by-step booking workflow that turns inquiries into booked, paid shoots without the back-and-forth.
Map your booking workflow first
Every booked shoot follows the same path. Documenting it lets you automate the repetitive parts and deliver a consistent client experience.
The 6 stages of a great booking
Inquiry → proposal/pricing → contract signed → deposit paid → shoot → gallery delivery & final invoice. Each stage should trigger the next automatically.
Connect it with one platform
When CRM, contracts, invoicing, and galleries live together, the whole workflow becomes seamless. That’s the core idea behind ShutterSync.
