Selfie Check-In and Face Matching help graduation photographers move quickly from capture to delivery. Reference selfies route photos into the right personal galleries, and automated text and email can send gallery links while interest in the ceremony is still high.

That reduces after-event sorting and gets families browsing and buying while graduation excitement is still fresh.

What graduation products can families order online?

Families can order graduation prints, downloads, packages, and grad-specific products like tassel frames, grad plaques, and personalized graduation cards with envelopes through a branded online retail experience.

That keeps the celebration on products families actually want, not just files in a folder.

Can NowCandid help with high-volume graduation ceremonies?

Yes. NowCandid is built for high-volume photography workflows like graduations, where photographers may need to capture and deliver images for hundreds or thousands of graduates.

With tools for image matching, gallery delivery, customer messaging, and online ordering, NowCandid helps photographers keep the process organized before, during, and after the ceremony.

Do graduation photographers need to upload images live?
Blue plus symbol with light glow effect on white background.Black minus sign icon on transparent background.

Not always. Some graduation photographers choose to live-upload images during or shortly after the ceremony, while others upload after the event. The best option depends on your staffing, internet access, ceremony setup, and delivery goals.

NowCandid gives photographers flexible ways to capture, upload, match, and deliver graduation photos based on the workflow that fits the job.

How does Group-by-Face help graduation galleries?

Face Matching already gets graduates into their own photos. Group-by-Face adds more: on the retail site, families can tap other faces in a photo to open those people's images too.

For example, if a gallery photo shows a graduate with someone else, they can tap that person's face to browse their pictures as well. It makes class and friend photos easier to explore beyond one personal set.

Does GradPics require a subscription?
Blue plus symbol with light glow effect on white background.Black minus sign icon on transparent background.

No. GradPics does not require a subscription or onboarding fee. Photographers pay a 5% ecommerce fee and a 3% processing fee on product sales.

Per Economic Advantages, Face Matching, Background Removal, retail support, and long-term image hosting are included without separate add-on fees.
