What’s new.

  • We've turbocharged the shopping experience for your customers, making it lightning-fast to add items to their carts. Since making these changes, we’ve seen the time it takes your visitors to add their first item to the cart drop by 34 seconds. We’ve also seen conversion rates for adding items to cart increase. Quicker shopping = more sales for you.
  • We’ve added a fantastic new SmugMug Perk: 20% off a lifetime membership to the International Freelance Photographers Organization (IFPO). IFPO has provided credentials, support, access, and community to photographers since 1984.

What’s changed.

  • We've made significant improvements to your uploading experience, paving the way for better content sharing and management. Check out this announcement for all the details.

Bug fixes.

  • To simplify your customers’ buying process, coupons will no longer apply to packages, which already offer your visitors discounted pricing.
  • We've fixed the issue causing video-playback interruptions before processing completes, which resulted in "Processing Failed" messages.
  • Out with incorrect crops. We've resolved the issue that affected some print-product cropping to deliver perfect results every time.
  • Pro branding updates now stick when changed, allowing Pro-plan subscribers to showcase their updated brand with thank-you notes in each print order and custom stickers on the outside of shipping packages. Not yet using this feature? Learn more!
  • Downloaded orders are now correctly labeled as "Shipped," providing clarity for Pros and customers alike.
  • We've tackled a cookie issue that blocked visitors from passworded galleries and downloads after they entered the correct password, ensuring uninterrupted access for your visitors.
  • Sales history is now off-limits to assistants, and downloading images is a breeze from both the organizer and lightbox.
  • We've squashed iOS bugs left and right—from manual-sort glitches to app crashes—to make your mobile SmugMug experience even better and ensure you have uninterrupted access to your photos and videos no matter where you are.
  • Our latest Android app release comes with performance enhancements for smoother browsing and quicker transitions.
  • Prints and cards now play nice together in the same cart, ensuring they're both visible and ready for purchase.

These updates are designed to supercharge your selling experience and keep your business running smoothly. Happy selling!
