Pic-Time alternative: beautiful delivery and an organized studio
Lisa
On Pelli, you bring image delivery, photography product sales and business management together. Your galleries extend an assignment managed in the same environment, alongside your client records, quotes, invoices and contracts.
📷 Pelli brings galleries and preparation for your assignments together
For a wedding or family photographer, the gallery extends the experience. Clients revisit their images, share them with loved ones and can choose the memories they want to keep in print.
On Pelli, you also manage the work before the gallery: presenting services, receiving an inquiry and preparing documents. Selection, delivery and sales then stay in the same environment.
With Pelli, your website, client records and documents are part of your workspace alongside your galleries. You prepare, present and deliver your services in the same environment.

The gain for your studio is practical: you can prepare a quote, find a contract and share a gallery in Pelli. Your website presents your services, and its form creates or updates the CRM contact with a task containing the message. You do not need to add a third-party CRM and website builder to bring these uses together.
Print sales within your client journey
In Pelli, your store extends your galleries and client records. You offer photographic products with no Pelli sales commission; Stripe, lab and shipping costs still apply.
Compare commissions on profit, not total sales
For Pic-Time’s Client Delivery Suite, the commission on profit is 15% on Free and Beginner. When Pic-Time collects payment, it is 8% on Professional and 6% on Advanced. On those last two plans, it drops to 0% when the photographer collects payment. Pelli charges 0% sales commission, excluding Stripe, production and shipping costs.
You choose your store’s products and configure your margins. Partner labs handle production and shipping for orders assigned to them; payment, production and shipping fees remain separate.
What happens before the gallery matters too
Before delivering a wedding, you have received an inquiry, defined the service, prepared documents and followed several conversations. After delivery, you may still need to find information or consult an invoice.
Pelli brings these client records together with quotes, invoices, contracts and galleries. Its photography website also lets you present your business and services in the same environment.
This organisation keeps useful information in one place. You can move between client records without piecing together exchanges across several apps.
✨ An example: from wedding coverage to printed memories
Imagine a service including wedding coverage, a digital gallery and an offer of prints. The couple first discovers their images; any purchases come afterward, without making downloads or sharing difficult to understand.
In Pelli, you can organize the gallery into folders and collect favorites and comments. The store lets you offer products and packages to suit your services, with production options linked to available labs. Organize your galleries and store.
Consistency also depends on your editorial choices: a representative cover, a personal message and understandable categories. These details make clients feel delivery has received as much attention as the photography itself.
To build a clear offer, our guide to selling photos online covers the different possibilities. A useful store starts with products you genuinely want to recommend.
Choose according to the store's role in your business
If print sales form a significant part of your business, start with your actual catalog. Formats, finishes and order tracking must match what you promise clients.
On Pelli, you can also deliver images and manage assignments when you sell few prints. Your website, documents and galleries support your daily work; the store complements your services at your own pace.
You do not need to transfer all your past coverage immediately. You can prepare new jobs in your chosen environment while preserving orders and access that are still useful on the old platform.
