Big News: Introducing QuicPics GO! 🌟

Big News: Introducing QuicPics GO! 🌟
Hey, fabulous photographers! 🎉

Candy here with some sparkling news about a brand-new program that's just been added to the NowCandid family—introducing QuicPics GO! 🚀

You all know and love our QuicPics program, where you get paid upfront by an event organizer and deliver free downloads to your photo subjects throughout the event, all while still offering them the option to purchase physical products. It’s a fan favorite for those looking to provide an engaging, modern experience!

So, what’s new with QuicPics GO? 🤔

Well, the “GO” in QuicPics GO stands for Gallery Only! That’s right, this new program is designed to streamline the process by delivering just the image gallery link to your subjects—no individual MMS image files sent directly to them.

The QuicPics GO Gallery provides multiple ways for your subjects to download their free images, as well as the opportunity to purchase optional photo products, making sure they still have plenty of options to enjoy and share their favorite moments! 🎁

While this may be a less flashy approach, it’s perfect for those who are looking for a more cost-conscious solution, while still utilizing NowCandid's convenient Workflows & technologies to deliver free downloads to guests. 📷✨

Why choose QuicPics GO?

Affordable Pricing:

QuicPics GO offers a budget-friendly option with a fee of only 6 cents per image at this time of launch — that’s significantly lower than the 20 cents per image fee for standard QuicPics. Perfect for events where cost-conscious clients are looking for a great value!

Simple Experience:

While QuicPics provides that cool, interactive experience of receiving images via MMS throughout the event, QuicPics GO keeps it simple with just one link to the image gallery. It’s less flashy, but it gets the job done!

So whether you're working with a budget-conscious client or just looking for a way to offer a simpler service, QuicPics GO is here to provide that perfect middle ground. 🎈

Important Note:

Just like with QuicPics, you’ll need to have a credit card on file with your NowCandid account to use QuicPics GO. This ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience for everyone involved. 💳

Streamlined Free Checkout for QuicPics GO! 🚀

We’ve made grabbing your free QuicPics images easier than ever! While easy downloads are available directly from the site, we’ve also simplified the checkout process for those who prefer it. 🎉

Now, instead of filling out billing and shipping info for a $0 cart, all your subjects need is a cell phone number and email address to complete the free checkout.

Quick, convenient, and hassle-free—just the way it should be! 🖼️📲

We’re thrilled to bring you this new addition, and we can’t wait to see how you’ll make the most of it!

As always, if you have any questions or need a little help, just reach out. We’re here for you! 💌

Cheers and sparkles,


Candy 🍬

Weekly Recap: A Slicker Image Details Page & Some Nice Quality-of-Life Upgrades📸

Hey friends, Candy here!

This week we’ve got a shiny new Image Details page, some small but mighty tweaks across the board, and a handful of fixes to make your dashboard life just a bit smoother.

Let’s take a peek! 👀

🌟 Brand-New Image Details Page!

Your favorite behind-the-scenes image panel just got a makeover—and it's so much faster now! Whether you’re digging into face match data or reviewing contact info, everything’s loading snappier and more clearly than ever.

You’ll notice:

  • • Cleaner layout 🧼
  • • Larger image preview
  • Speedy load times ⚡
  • Better organization of metadata 🗂️

Details, Participants, and Logs have also been split into three distinct tabs!

Go ahead, give it a click from the Manage Images page or a Participant's Details page!

You can even hover highlighted faces with your mouse to view attached Participants!

In case you need to know how to get to the Image Details page!

🔧 Misc Changes & Improvements

Some smart, helpful little tweaks that add up to a smoother experience:

  • 🔗 Image Details links added to image previews on the Participant Details page (because shortcuts are life).
  • 🖼️ Free Download / Medium-Res Download for QuicPics™ Events are now set to a 2:3 aspect ratio—perfect for showcasing your 2:3 Full Frame overlay art!
  • 📦 Better retail display for big packages: Packages with 5+ items are now prettier, yay!

A look at the new 5+ Item Package graphic! Retail Theme: Liquorice - Event Program: QuicPics

  • 🎯 Face Matching Confidence level is now selectable during Event Creation, not just after. Set your confidence from the start!
  • 🛡 GalleryGuard™ has been updated to work even on iOS 26. The screenshots stay black. The images stay safe.

🐛 Bug Fixes

A few pesky things we squashed this week:

  • 🚫 The Unassigned Images count no longer includes BGR cutouts that have already been matched. More accurate image management FTW.
  • 🔄 Some Events were having trouble loading the Manage Images page. That glitch has now been zapped. 💥

That’s all for now!

Be sure to check out the new Image Details page, and if you haven’t yet, try out GalleryGuard™ on your own iOS device—it’s basically wizardry. 🧙‍♂️

Until next week,
💖 Candy

Weekly Recap: Longer Face Matching™, New PhotoRoster Tools & Retail Tweaks!🗓

Hey friends! 📸

Candy here with another round of updates from the NowCandid™ world.

This week brings big improvements for Face Matching™ Events, new ways to re-use your check-ins across Events, and a couple of helpful tweaks to the retail site and image management tools.

Let’s dive in! 👇

⏳ Face Matching™ Now Lasts 60 Days!

That’s right—your Face Matching™ window has now doubled from 30 to 60 days from your Event's Start Date! 🙌

This means even more time for:

  • • Late uploads to still get matched 🔄
  • • Schools to send out the Selfie Check-In™ link after the Event 📬
  • Stragglers to find their photos 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️🧍

But here’s your friendly reminder: the faster you upload, the better your sales! 🏃‍♂️💸

📸 Every image uploaded goes through:

  • • Exposure correction automatically
  • • Optional cart-wide light retouching for customers
  • • Manual review for print color accuracy
  • • Intuitive cropping tools for end users

So don’t sit on your images to batch-edit them all—uploading sooner = more sales.

Every day that passes = potential sales slipping by. Speed matters!

🔁 Create PhotoRosters™ from Selfie Check-Ins!

This one’s a fun one for graduation season! 🎓

Now you can create a PhotoRoster™ directly from the Selfie Check-Ins™ of a previous Event.

Here’s why it’s awesome:

  • • Ran a great Prom with tons of Check-Ins? ✅
  • Reuse that same data to auto-create your graduation PhotoRoster™! 🎓
  • If participants Check-In again or get added via Tap-A-Face™, NowCandid™ automatically merges based on contact info = no duplicate galleries, no confusion!

Perfect for client relationships where you cater to all of their school's Events!

🧰 Misc. Improvements & Fixes

A few extra goodies for your workflow this week:

  • 🔠 New image name sort option on the Manage Images page (great for keeping sequences clean).
  • 📲 Prominent Selfie Check-In™ button added to All Images galleries (so folks can find their pics even faster!).
  • 🧾 A “non-refundable” tag has been added to the shopping cart & receipt for digital items to help set better expectations.
    • (Digital photography = no take-backs! This helps avoid confusion.)

That’s all for now! 🎉

If you have any questions about the new features, you can always reach me from your dashboard! 💬

See you next week for more enhancements and pro tips!

Cheers,

Candy

Hey there! 👋

Candy here with your weekly dose of NowCandid™ updates!

We’ve rolled out some helpful new features to make check-ins smoother, shopping more intuitive, and checkouts faster. Let’s take a peek! 👀

🌍 ¡Check-In en Español!

We’ve added Spanish language support for all customer check-in pages, including:

  • • Selfie Check-In™
  • • Simple Check-In
  • • Scan Card Check-In

The system will auto-detect the user’s browser language and serve the Spanish version when appropriate.

More languages are planned in the future, so stay tuned! 🌐

Bonus: We also have added Spanish versions of the Privacy Policy & Terms of Use for end customers to use!

🛍 Easier Package Shopping 🖼️

Package selection just got a serious upgrade! 🎁

When a customer is picking images for each item in a Package, they’ll now see:

  • • Tabs to toggle between All Images and their Personal Gallery
  • • Pagination to easily flip through the All Images Tab

This is especially useful when customers are shopping for Packages directly from a link to the All Images Gallery — now it’s easier to browse and find their perfect shot! 💫

🛠 Miscellaneous Fixes & Tweaks

Here’s a quick roundup of other small (but mighty!) improvements this week:

  • 🏷️ Empty PhotoTags™ no longer appear on the retail site — cleaner and simpler for your customers!
  • 💸 Venmo now shows up more consistently as an express checkout option.
  • 📅 Interested in attending Summer Seminar 2025 in OKC? Head to the Profile Page in your dashboard for the invite and sign-up link!
  • 🐞 Tons of small bug fixes and polish across the platform. We’re always working to keep things speedy, intuitive, and delightful!

See you next week with more exciting improvements!

As always, if you need anything — just ask me!😄

Cheers,

Candy

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
