Sales Boost - Your Clients Can Now Buy Photos Directly from Gallery Search Results

We've made it easier than ever for your clients to buy the photos they love.

Previously, when clients searched for their photos in your galleries, they had to navigate away from the search results to make a purchase. Now, they can buy photos directly from the search results page—no extra work required!

What this means for you:

• Immediate gratification: Clients can purchase immediately when they find what they're looking for.
• Reduced friction: No more confusion about how to buy after searching.‍
• Higher conversion: The streamlined experience will mean fewer abandoned purchases.

Bug Fixes

This month's bug fixes clear away the friction points that were stealing your time, from billing to app performance, so you can focus on what truly drives your success.

Cleaner gallery interface - We removed the misleading share button from empty galleries that was causing confusion when there wasn’t anything to share. Now you'll see sharing options only when images are available to share. Makes sense right?!

Clearer invoice transparency - We corrected a confusing VAT issue that incorrectly showed an account renewal payment as "SmugMug Source." Now your invoices clearly reflect what you're paying for, making your record-keeping and expense tracking accurate.

Seamless billing access for Source users - We fixed a "Page Not Found" error that blocked you from updating your SmugMug Source billing information. Now clicking the billing update link takes you directly where you need to go to update your information.

Complete VAT documentation - We ensured VAT invoices now generate automatically for your download package orders, just like they do for print orders. You'll have consistent, complete tax documentation for all your purchases, ensuring you never miss important invoice details.

‍Enhanced email reliability - So you never miss critical account notifications, we resolved an extremely rare scenario where account-related emails were not being sent. Account owners can now count on receiving every important update and alert in their inbox, keeping you connected to your business operations.
