Guides

Sports photography workflow guides

The decisions behind picture day: what to sell, how to price it, and how orders get to the lab and back to parents.

Each guide covers one decision and the workflow around it, not the clicks. For step-by-step instructions inside Batch Relay, head to Learn. Start with the storefront guides if you are selling online this season, or the fulfillment guides if the bottleneck is everything after the shoot.
