What is Paypixl?

Be discovered by new customers

Share your profile and demo reels with a single link. Your profile displays your public portfolio, services you offer, customer testimonials, and includes an ORDER NOW button with a webform for customers to create a new order with you.

 

Secure your files behind a paywall
Droneographers often send DropBox or GDrive links to their customers with separate invoices. This usually means that the customer has to pay for their files before receiving them or that the droneographer sends their files, hoping to get paid quickly. With Paypixl, you can send your files behind a watermark. Files cannot be shared or downloaded by the client until the order is paid for.

• 80% of droneographers reported late payments after sending files to their client.
• Over 50% of those late payments were over 90 days delinquent.
• 45% of pilots have reported instances where they were not paid at all.

 

A portfolio organized by location
Location is everything. Paypixl allows you to manage your projects by location, using a map-based dashboard. Now you can easily search by location to find previous customer files.

 

Share your profile, portfolio, and project folders with anyone
Have you ever been asked for a sample of your work by a prospective client? Paypixl makes it easy to send your profile with a single link. Anyone viewing your profile can see projects that you’ve made public, a list of services you provide, previous customer testimonials, and more. Each profile also includes a call-to-action button to order imagery from you so you can close more repeat business.

 

Invoicing and order tracking
Paypixl’s order and invoicing system allows you to create new orders, add line items to invoices, attach projects, and securely send your files to your client with a link to pay. Check your order status and automate follow-up notifications to your clients.

 

Lightning fast uploads and downloads
We’ve prioritized fast upload speeds so you spend less time when creating projects.

 

Invoice Dashboard
Track your sales history, open orders, and payout status with our integrated dashboard, powered by Stripe.

Client dashboards for file management
When you deliver your files to your client via Paypixl’s order system, your client is provided with a dashboard, just like yours, that shows all their previous orders.

 

Deliverables with a single link
Nobody wants to receive multiple links to different project folders and invoices. Make it easy for your clients; send your deliverables with a single link and leave your clients with a professional impression that they’ll tell others about.

 

Easy payment
Paying for orders is easier than ever with Paypixl’s invoicing system, powered by Stripe.

 

Hassle-free downloading and file retrieval
Why make your customers struggle with file permissions and access issues? Paypixl eliminates the hassle with easy access to files once an order has been paid for.

Once you are in the folder you want to upload the images to, click on ADD FILES in the top right of the screen. You can select your files from the browser or simply drag them into the uploader window. Once you see all your files in the uploader window, click on UPLOAD FILES. The files will appear in your folder as soon as they are uploaded.

 

Note: You may have to refresh your page once to preview the full-size images after they’re uploaded.

We currently support image (.jpg, .png) and video (.mp4, H.264-.mov) files in the beta.

 

We will soon be adding support for non-imagery file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .csv, etc.), as well as support for raw image file types.

A project in Paypixl must be publicly viewable in order to share it. When the link is shared, anyone with the link URL will be able to see all of the files in that project. To share a project, navigate to the project’s root directory. Toggle the PUBLIC button (top-right of window) so that the toggle button turns green. The project is now shareable. You can click on the share icon from the dashboard view of the project, or just click the SHARE button inside of the project folders. A box will pop up with the URL for that project, which can be copied and pasted wherever you want.

Paypixl’s ordering system allows you to send projects and a digital invoice to your clients with a single link. Paypixl secures your files behind a watermarked paywall until your customer pays for their order. Your customer will be able to view their imagery files with a watermark, but will not be able to download them or share the full files with anyone.

 

Once a customer has paid, they will receive a payment confirmation with a download link. Your customer will also be able to create a Paypixl account using the same email that their files were sent to. By creating a free account, they’ll be able to view all of their orders on a mapped dashboard, similar to the pilot’s dashboard.

 

Paypixl uses Stripe Connect to handle payments and the integrated user payment portals. Paypixl doesn’t record or log any sensitive payment information, which is redirected and managed through Stripe’s secure payment gateway.

From the Dashboard, click CREATE ORDER. Fill out the customer information to the left. In the right pane, select the first line item and select service you’re providing from the drop-down and change the price as needed. You can also add comments to the line item. You can add as many line items as needed.

Paypixl’s platform fee covers the cost to use the platform, image processing, storage, server costs, and overhead.

The pilot chooses who will pay for the transaction + platform fee at the time the invoice is created. If the pilot decides that the customer will pay the fees, the fees are added to the total amount on the invoice for the customer to pay. If the pilot decides to pay the fees themselves, the customer will be responsible only for the service total, plus any taxes (manually added by the pilot). The outstanding fees will be deducted from the pilot’s prior to payout.
