📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 2 – The New Retail Site 🎄✨

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 2 – The New Retail Site 🎄✨
Hello, my jolly photographers! 🎅

Candy here, welcoming you to Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Yesterday, we revisited the new NowCandid Web Dashboard. Today, let’s talk about another game-changer from 2024: our New Retail Site!

When we introduced this updated retail experience, our goal was to give your clients a smoother, more delightful way to browse, customize, and purchase their images.

Here’s what made it shine:

  • Product Gallery Renders:

    Customers see instant previews of their chosen photos on various products, helping them visualize exactly what they’re buying.
  • Customer Accounts & Order History:

    Clients can log in to review past orders, keep track of events they participated in, and find their images more easily—turning first-time buyers into loyal fans.
  • AI Background Generation:

    With background removal in place, clients can type in prompts to create custom AI-generated backgrounds, adding a unique and personalized flair to their images.
  • Tons of Express Checkout Options:

    From Apple Pay and Google Pay to PayPal and beyond, we added multiple fast, convenient checkout methods, ensuring a hassle-free shopping experience.

The New Retail Site helped your customers feel more engaged, inspired, and confident when ordering.

It was one of the many ways we leveled up your business this year! 🎁

Check back tomorrow for Day 3, as we continue reviewing the best of 2024.

And don’t forget—on December 25th, we’ll unveil something truly special. Until then, keep capturing the magic of the season! 🎄

New features you'll find in the app:

  • Supports several new Nikon and Canon models that the previous NOW Candid app did not
  • Customizable App Passcode - ensures you are uploading directly to events in your account & is protected from other user's image uploads
  • New modern design for ease of use
  • More event information now available right from the tablet when logged in
  • Choose between dark or light mode (dark mode looks pretty slick! Try it out!)
  • Added button in settings that instantly pulls up the image hot folder
  • Easier installation and less issues with Window Defender
  • Smarter log out protocols (warnings if all images have not been uploaded)
  • "Upload from SD card" to manually add all images from an SD card to an event.
  • Useful if a camera was not connected to a tablet when images were shot, this provides another way to manually upload
  • OR if you had a second photographer on site without a tablet, they could upload their images through a tablet/laptop before leaving the event

How to uninstall the previous version of the app:

If you have previous versions of the Party Pics® Now app or Now Candid app installed on your device, you will want to uninstall them. Make sure all data and images from any previous events have been transferred prior to uninstalling.

    a. This can be done for "Party Pics Now" or SNAP as well

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.

  • List Three
