  1. Have Option for IBY to Automatically Include Package Components in Description

    I'm currently transcribing the contents of my packages to IBY descriptions, and it occurs to me that the components are of course ~known to IBY - it'd be ideal if IBY could be configured to include package components in its description.

  2. Add "Most Popular" and "Best Value" ~Badges to IBY as Product Overlays or Added Descriptors

    "Cheesy sales tactics work." -Jerry Hughes

    I just posted about making IBY Sales Ranking sort settings work based upon actual sales, and I think a built-in "Most Popular" or "Top Seller" - while cheesy - would tap into the Social Proof Sales Psychology effect and lead to increased sales. I would actually make it so that you could choose a "Top Seller" or whatever manually and ignore actual sales to push a certain product.

    Same deal with "Best Value": I have advocated for a ~value calculator being added to Stratus that simply adds up the retail price of all package…

  3. Add Video Capability to Price List Item IBY Product Images if only via HTML

    I think static images are excellent for product images, but I think there is an opportunity to increase sales done in a Web-first, volume way by integrating short videos in the cart. Anybody in the business will tell you that in-person sales will produce the highest order tickets... adding videos that demonstrate to a client what a sytrene mount is and what it can do for your print, how big an 11x14 really isn't on your wall, or how embassy texture on a wedding portrait can add an artisanal flourish would allow me to do the dog and pony show…

  4. DONE - HTML in Price List

    I want to be able to use HTML in Price List Item IBY Marketing Descriptions, etc. Even just the ability to change the size of the text and use bold, italics, and underline would make a big difference. With full HTML, I could even embed videos, which I did with great effect in my former cart. Labs can supply short videos that clients could use.

  5. Indicate Images Already Selected Progressively

    As an end user for IBY, when I make my 4 selections for something like a "4 digital images" product, I'd like to see the images that I've already selected indicated in some way (so I don't select the same image twice). This is even more of an issue when selecting images for a large package. I can't keep straight which images I've already selected... a big issue for my subject matter where there are many similars and I'm moreover using a fairly aggressive watermark.

  6. Signal to client in some way there is deposit on file to be used in My Cart

    "I added everything to my cart to start the checkout process and the $20 deposit we made [on-site] is not applying?"

    I'm getting emails like this a lot. People are prompted to apply the deposit on file when they click next, but instead of doing that they're emailing, which is much harder. This I think illustrates that the end user really expects for a deposit to be showing in My Cart itself.

    My suggestion is to put the ~do you want to use deposit on file inside the My Cart itself to clear this up and save a click through…

  7. Add a Link on Digital Fulfillment Landing Page and IBY Order Details that Initiates Download

    People love the quick digital fulfillment with Stratus, but they are getting confused about how to download the images after clicking the digital delivery link because the general populace is just not tech savvy enough to know to right click the image and Save As. I think some simple directions on that page would help, too, especially for zip files.

    I really think the digital images download URL also should be added to the IBY Orders at least as a link in the line item that says "Click here to download" if not also adding a column for ~"Downloadable Images"…

  8. Add more detail (What message, what status(es), etc) to the Communication Job Manager.

    The Communication Job Manager (Utilities>Communication Job Manager) is very basic currently. When I schedule Communications in the Wizard, they will show up there, but with very little identifying information - meaning if something needs to be corrected, I have to delete all of the outgoing communications in order to reset the one I needed to fix. Recommending putting more identifying information (Client Status/Group, Date/Time Scheduled, Which Message Sent, etc.)

  9. Show Triggers set to run automatically in Control Center (Just Gray them Out Since Handled by S+)

    A user requested "Add 'Process Triggers' to Control Center in MyStratus" as a feature, but it was declined because Control Center automatically processes them via S+ Servers: https://studioplus.uservoice.com/forums/560392-studioplus-product-suggestions/suggestions/18570112-add-process-triggers-to-control-center-in-mystra

    This makes sense, but I think there are two things to consider not addressed:

    1) Bill may not want to wait for Control Center to immediately process a Trigger set to Auto. I realize he could set the trigger to manual temporarily, fire it, and then set back to Auto; however, that is a hassle, and I think the bigger concern is that really "Run Job" should be an option in Control…

  10. Allow limitation of promos to client groups (ideally even filters), not just statuses

    I'm trying to restrict a promo to only certain people in a shoot, specifically to people who have placed an order but had trouble so I can send them a make-right promo. Right now, I can only change their status individually to get it done, and there could be a good reason I have a client set to something specific, don't want it changed. Since I can layer on Client Groups without affecting anything, they're the better choice for targeting. A filter obviously opens up all kinds of targeting over just client groups (while including client groups).

  11. Create Session Sub-Types

    I think this is what the user who posted about adding a "category" varible was really getting at and was important enough to be addressed in 2019 release: https://studioplus.uservoice.com/forums/560392-studioplus-product-suggestions/suggestions/34523479-online-booking-provide-main-categories-with-sess#comments

    I second the need for organization of online booking, and I would add another benefit to the update: it would help simplify statuses in workflows: I'm using Session Types for event photography, and I have to have both many unique Session Types (so that you can pick an event using online booking platform) and also many Session Statuses for each of those Session Types (so that I can do multi-stage uploads…

  12. Allow price list change via automation and time elapsed (i.e. change price list after x days)

    Sytist (my old cart) had the ability to set a price list change to happen on a certain date in future at the gallery level. This was very useful for promotions where the better price goes away. There are reasons why you'd want to do it this way (maybe certain items - or a whole class of items - will no longer be available after the change) rather than using a sale or promo. I'm making a "sale" price list that I will inflate by 20% via replacement price list rather than use a promo code to do the sale…

  13. Add descriptions to shipping methods so that I don't have to copy and paste delivery infoto each IBY product

    Delivery info is done by product in IBY settings right now. I would like to have a unified place to put shipping policies that would automatically apply from product shipping methods so I don't have to add delivery information for all lustre print sizes by hand (I'm aware I can make a product and duplicate it as a workaround)

  14. Allow products to be in multiple price list groups

    This would prevent price list bloat since copies can't have the same product code. I want to have digital add-ons to packages in both the package group and digital images group because I think people will go both places to look for them. Had to create duplicate product with boilerplate product code to get it done, adding unnecessary second product when a ~pointer/reference would suffice.

  15. Limit display of images to select for package selection to only those with a valid tag

    I have certain images with text already integrated for a bag tag product I'm selling in a package. I also have team photos that are the only ones that make sense to use to fill a team photo product type (and that I moreover want to exclude from certain product types such as digital images to prevent just one parent buying a digital of a group photo and circulating it). If images could be tagged with ~image types, that would allow IBY to ~filter images shown for package selection only to those that would be acceptable if at the product…

  16. Give Products and Product Categories URLs for direct linking from either a separate Web site or at least a relative link from within Stratus

    I'm using HTML in my product descriptions, and I want to be able to use a hyperlink, not just a related product listing, in order to redirect clients to another product. Reason could be things like upsell, picking components for a multi-component product, etc. In WordPress, you don't have to use a full URL, just a relative page. This would allow a photographer to have a product listing on her or his Web site with a link that would take you directly from the site to the product in IBY to actually order. This is how ROES works in conjunction…

  17. Create a Simple Digital Assets Container for Use with HTML around IBY and in Email Marketing, etc.

    I'm doing extensive HTML work on IBY descriptions, and I want to include some images. To do that, I have to have a URL where those images are hosted, and it would be ideal if the URL were a Stratus Drive URL so I don't have to figure out a place to upload a thumbnail image of some product option and link to it.

    This is also very, very useful for email marketing, which is why Mailchimp has something setup for it: https://mailchimp.com/help/use-the-content-studio/

  18. Make default Artboard layouts for packages and dynamically populate them with client-selected image in IBY

    I've put in a lot of effort to make Adobe Photoshop Artboards that neatly lay out all of my package components (if unfamiliar, google artboards) so that an 8x10, (2) 5x7s, (8) Wallets, etc. all neatly lay out and overlap, making sure to save as the required 450px x 330px and then making them all over again - including single product versions of all the components (e.g. 8x10 Individual by itself) with text. Making the Artboards is a hassle. I'd really love it if IBY had pre-laid-out packages I could use off the shelf that were basically ~picture frames that…

  19. Make it easy to reorder IBY Images from the Desktop App

  20. Standardize IBY Navigational Tab Subheadings

    IBY Nav Tabs (Home, Sessions, Etc.) all have sub-headings on hover, and they should be standardized linguistically for professional presentation: either use a call to action (verb phrase) or a general descriptor (noun phrase) for all of them, don't mix and match.

    Mixed:

    Help - "Get help from our team"
    Sessions - "Online pictures of your family"

    Standardized:

    Help - "Get help from our team"
    Sessions - "View and order pictures of your family"

    Help - "Knowledgebase, FAQ, and Contact Information"
    Sessions - "Photoshoots and Images"

    I would also standardize formatting. Right now, Sessions uses capitalization for each word, while…
