Payments

Five tools. Three reminders. One client who forgot.

Fotello replaces the chase with one calm invoice. Watermarked previews unlock the moment a realtor pays, dunning happens without you, and every dollar lands attached to the listing it came from.

No credit card needed. Free plan with no limits.

Charge the realtor when the order is placed. Photos stay watermarked until the payment clears, and the gallery unlocks the second it does. Your default for new clients.

Pay-to-download

The watermark dissolves the second the invoice clears.

Galleries open watermarked. Pay button cleared, downloads unlock, originals released. No second tool, no email handoff, no "can you resend the link?" Realtors get the finals the moment they pay.

Audit

Logged to ledger

Two sides, one invoice

You see the work. The realtor sees a brand.

Your studio runs the invoice from inside Fotello. The realtor pays from a portal that wears your name, your logo, your domain. Same data, two surfaces, no platform branding leaking through.

Photographer

Inside your studio

Send, track, and reconcile every invoice without leaving the listing. Status, dunning, and clearings live where the work lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The platform fee is a single flat plan price, never a percentage of what your realtors pay you. A $495 invoice clears as $495.
