Hi Zenfolio,

I’d like to request for an improvement (Enhancement Request) on the Reporting side of the Selling component on the platform.
I understand that this: http://www.zenfolio.com/eu/z/help/support-center#/customer/en/portal/articles/408251?t=590410 provides a lot of info, but there is still a slight gap that I’d like to see added to the above already available.

I have one of my 3 Zenfolio Websites set up so that each event covered is listed as a Group and, within each Group are numerous galleries each of which is assigned to an Individual Photographer (Contributing Photographer).

Event participants access the website via link to the respective group and make purchases of images as they would normally and are able to select images and purchase images from any of the galleries listed.
Up until this point I have no issues - Zenfolio works fine. I get the confirmation of sale, which is broken down into each image sold etc. etc.
However, after a month, each of my photographers will be entitled to a value that is calculated on a percentage of the revenue FOR THEIR IMAGES ONLY.

Therefore I need to be able to:
1- Enter Start Date / End Date

2- Select Orders

3- Select "Specific" Gallery (Photographer) or "All" Galleries (Photographers)

4- Obtain a breakdown of the total of revenue generated in that Specific Gallery. Currently what I get is a break down by Sale totals.

If I then look at the total values, it provides the total of the sales where images from this gallery were sold.
What I need is this same breakdown but for the system to Calculate just the revenue for images sold from the selected gallery or Galleries.

I also drew up a document that demonstrates flow with screenshots which can be seen here: http://www.daraclephotography.com/img/g312469000-o525303551.dat?dl=2&tk=olOPZSYEFhYga0vYHq4CmdJh1gifINOlniJDJ4nonak=

(as I had no option to upload it will compiling this Feature).

I managed to compile the information I needed and calculate revenue by exporting each sale into a Database in Excel.

In all this took me best part of 3 hours to figure out but I got there in the end. However, I’m sure that there must be the need for this type of report for other Zenfolio users especially if using multiple commission based contributing photographers.

I also wanted to know what where the most popular type of resolution sold from the sales in that specific period, so from the information that Zenfolio already provides me in the option to export to Excel I was able to compile a few other interesting charts.

Again, very useful information for Zenfolio users to have which is why it’s already made available. However, there is no way in the reporting area within Zenfolio to extract this information and view it on screen.

Finally, it would be like the icing on the cake if I was able to e-mail this to the owner of each gallery or galleries (as I have their e-mail address when I gave them access as a Contributing Photographer).

Wishing everyone who reads this a very productive and opulent 2016!!

No buy button on a group folder or gallery thumbnails!? This needs to be an option.

AND along with it, when assigning a price list item to a group folder, all of its contents (Group Folders, Galleries and Photos) are all auto-filled. It'll most likely be group folders and galleries, in which case when full galleries or groups are purchased, why should all the individual photos? Just show a single thumbnail for each gallery and/or folder your purchases.

Get rid of the confusion trying to figure out why it says drag up to X amount of photos, when you already said you wanted the full group or gallery.

From ArtStoreFronts blog: It’s all about less text, fewer clicks.

The internet is full of case studies that highlight the impact this simple change can have.

One of our favorites was run on the Vancouver 2010 olympic online store. They tested the single checkout page and found…

The single page checkout process was the clear winner and led to lower cart abondon rates. Successful completion rate for the entire checkout process increased by 257.26%. Overall site conversion rate increased by 0.54%. We also observed some unexpected improvements during this experiment, like an increase of 8.54% in the average order value!

The fewer steps you require your prospects to go through in order to checkout, the higher your conversion rates will be.

Rather than forcing your visitor to go through a series of steps to enter in their billing/shipping/credit card and select their shipping method, we do it all on one convenient page. This leads to less shopping cart abandonment, and therefore higher conversion rates.

From the order view in the sales report you already can see the images ordered, it would make a lot of sense to allow the admin to either select all or some of the images to deliver an archive of the images to the client. Currently there a few time consuming work arounds that are just patches. If I don't need to go to Lightroom to edit my images then I should be able to just deliver the images from Zenfolio with out having to jump through hoops.
One way: from the order report, select and download an archive for delivery to client via Dropbox or other cloud storage.
Second way: give the admin the capability to quickly create a download gallery from the order report so the client can download themselves.
Third way: add a setting to the gallery settings to allowed download of ordered images.

Past fulfilled orders need to be moved to the most obvious place, the Orders screen, there is a BIG fat button for Orders where I expect to find past fulfilled orders. Not the case, it's very misleading and time consuming to get to this screen. We have to follow a cookie trail by clicking, clicking, reading and then click on a link to find them past orders in the Selling Report. Bad UX, 3-4 extra steps to get to the report,

1-Click on orders, land on a s screen that doesn't tell you where the past orders are located.
2-Click on My Orders, here is the hint on where to find the past orders.
3-Click on Selling Reports

Why can't this be easier to get to on the Orders screen? Right under My Orders as "Fulfilled Client Orders"? As a menu option in Selling drop down?

I DON'T use the "download" option bc it doesn't have the step for the customer to agree to the Terms and Conditions. It take WAY too many steps when they purchase things! Surely it be 3 maybe 4. There are still WAY too many steps and I lose customers bc of this! Help Zenfolio!!! I really want to continue to stay loyal.

Currently it is an 11 step process for clients to purchase or download a high res image for free as follows:

1) Click on desired image
2) Click on 'Download High Res Image'
3) Click 'add to cart'
4) Click 'check out now'
5) Click 'check out now' again
6) Click guest checkout 'continue'
7) Click to agree Ts and Cs, Click 'continue checkout'
8) Enter name, email, click 'continue checkout' again
9) Click 'place order'
Wait for email to arrive
10) Click 'Download Page' link in email
11) Click 'Download to my computer'

Surely a few of these steps could be merged?
Ideally to a 3 or 4 step process.
