Friends & Family discount links / codes??

rdlugosz

Any way that I can provide my friends/family with either a different link or a "coupon code" that would allow them to order from my galleries at a significant (say, just a penny over the SM base price) discount? I realize that I could just upload duplicate albums and price them accordingly, but that's kind of a pain after a while.

Here's the situation: Me and my buddies go to some event & I take a bunch of shots, including some that random event attendees would be interested in. Now, I post my images to SM & my default prices are in effect. That's cool for the random attendees who may purchase images, but I also want to give my buddies the link. I'm not interested in having them pay my prices, so I need to say "don't order prints; tell me what you want and I'll get it at cost for you".

It's that last part I want to avoid! I'm sure there's not a quick solution to this, but thought I'd throw it out there as something to consider for future enhancements.

Hi, good question. For now, you'd have to have a separate gallery, with the penny-over pricing, just for them. I wish I had a different answer for you.

Thanks for posting.

Just a thought...
If that group of friends had the guest password, would it give them the option to order at cost? I personally am not comfortable giving out my guest password because it seems guest users have pretty much free reign including account information, but it may be a viable solution if those friends are close ones.

But how does the "guest password" work? I cannot seem to figure it out. I have a buddy that helps me and I'd like to give him full access to rearrange and upload photos for me. Thanks.
