Photographers know that running a successful business isn’t just about capturing stunning images—it’s about creating an experience that meets clients' needs and removes financial barriers. One way to do this is by offering Afterpay, a popular "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) service. If you're already using PhotoBiz, integrating Afterpay into your photography website is a seamless way to attract more clients, boost revenue, and offer flexible payment options.

Increase bookings for high-ticket services like weddings, boudoir sessions, or multi-product packages.
