Each gallery has one of three modes. Set it in the gallery's Settings, on the Selling & downloads tab.
| Mode | What participants do | What it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | Buy downloads, prints, videos or packages | Commission on each sale, at your plan's rate. Nothing if nothing sells. |
| Free downloads | Download their photos free | Free-download photos are included in your plan each month; above that, a small fee per photo. |
| Hybrid | Download free, and can buy prints or higher-quality files too | Both of the above. |
Selling
You choose the products and prices with a product list. Photohawk handles checkout, delivers downloads by email (and WhatsApp if the buyer chooses), and has prints made and posted by our print lab.
Photohawk's commission is the only Photohawk fee on a sale: 16% on Lite, 14% on Pro and 12% on Max. Card processing fees also apply. If you don't sell anything, you don't pay anything.
Free downloads
Good for sponsored races, charity events, club events and client work where photos are included. Each plan includes free-download photos every month: 1,000 on Lite, 5,000 on Pro and 10,000 on Max. Above that, each photo costs $0.008, billed the next month. See Free-download galleries: how billing works.
Both: hybrid
Give the photos away and offer paid extras, such as prints or a higher-resolution file. Visitors pick their free photos and see the paid options alongside. Turn this on with Upsell paid products on free downloads on the Downloads & subscribers tab.
