Offer session discounts with booking coupons

Want to offer special deals to attract new clients or surprise existing ones? With coupons, you can provide discounts for anyone who books a session through your booking site. All you have to do is set up a coupon code for any of your sessions. Choose a fixed amount or a percentage discount, then share the code with your clients. As they go through the booking steps, they’ll need to apply the code at checkout to claim the offer.

You can also set an expiration date and limit the number of uses for the coupon, to create urgency. Learn more about offering session discounts with coupons.

Manage all your client communication in one place with Inbox

Centralize all your client communication in Pixieset. With the new Inbox feature you can access and review all your messages and client interactions, in one spot. Whether you're responding to an inquiry, sending a prep checklist to a new client, confirming contract details, or receiving an excited reply about a gallery you just shared — everything can now be managed through Inbox.

Send and receive emails directly from your Studio Manager dashboard, get instant notifications when clients respond, and enjoy a more streamlined workflow.
