Create a Makeup Day Session

Commerce

This feature is not initially set up in every Fotomerchant account. Please contact your support team to activate this feature.

If you offer Makeup picture days for your schools, you can create a Makeup Session to schedule a set of stages separate from those specified in the original Stages tab. When you create a Makeup Session, a set of stages identical to the stages for the Client Session will be created. You can edit these Makeup Session stages similar to normal stages. 

The red Camera icon indicates that the item is related to a Makeup Session. This can apply to galleries and orders.

IMPORTANT: The day you use to set as the shoot date for make up day is used to determine if any new images uploaded will go to the original gallery or the make up day gallery. After make up day every image will go to the make up day folder.
