Pro account question

GemGem

Hi!
How long after upgrading to a pro account can I start setting prices?

I just upgraded about 20mins ago and just see the view pro sales option, no options to set prices.

Thank you!

I don't remember a lag when I switched. But... setting prices isn't done from the control panel, it's done from the Tools menu within a gallery (even if you're setting portfolio pricing).

Yeah, this is a bit of a UI hiccup in my mind and happened to me when I first got a pro account. The 100% logical place to look for site-wide portfolio pricing is in the control panel and it is nowhere to be found. If you are new Smugmug pro and you hear about portfolio pricing and you go to look for it, you will look in the control panel. You will not find it.

I know that once somebody tells you where it actually is, you can use it fine there, but that's not the point of great UI. Great UI is where you expect it to be so nobody has to tell you where it is.

You're absolutely right about that. It really should be available from the homepage tools and from the control panel. I've never understood why I need to go into a gallery to set pricing - but I do remember where to find it (now).
