What Afterify is
Afterify is a web platform for photographers and creative professionals that brings client galleries, photo storage, a website builder with blogging, and a print store together. Its Studio arranges photos in project folders by client, and client galleries let viewers select favorite images. Photographers can set download permissions and choose which image sizes are available. The site builder uses drag-and-drop text, image, slideshow, map, and form components without coding. A print-store partner, WHCC, fulfills orders on demand and ships them to customers. Store payments pass through secure checkout and are made available in the seller’s Stripe account; third-party processors may include PayPal and Stripe. The Free plan includes 2GB storage, up to 10 website components, five blog posts, and a 15% commission on store sales. Early Adopter costs $6 a month and includes 100GB storage, unlimited blog posts, 0% store commission, and full feature access. A 7-day trial is also offered. Afterify says it does not sell personal information, and payment processors handle card numbers rather than Afterify storing full card numbers on its systems.
