The problem
Every print sale pays the platform too.
Pic-Time's commission falls as the plan rises, from 15% on Beginner to 8% on Professional and 6% on Advanced. On a busy print season, that is real money for doing nothing.
Video sits in a separate allowance, 30 GB on Professional, which holds a highlight but fills quickly once a full ceremony arrives.
FRGMT takes no commission. Prints go through the WHCC lab network at the markup you set, and every dollar of it is yours. More in the Gallery tour.
Video lives in the same storage as the photos, plays adaptively up to 4K, and the couple can watch the highlight in the same gallery, or on a Cinema page for client video delivery.
Comments on the photo itself. Switch comments on for a gallery and the couple can note a crop or a retouch on any photo, pinned to a point when it matters, with no account. You reply and resolve from the gallery’s Review tab.
