Studio Manager updates

Quotes for Studio Manager

A quote is a document you send to prospective clients, to confirm and share your services and pricing, prior to sending an invoice or contract. This serves as a great opportunity to build a relationship with your customers, even before they commit to working with you.

Present your offerings and pricing, allow clients to select from packages, and enable customers to purchase-add-ons. You can also create invoices from accepted quotes. So easy and convenient!

To build your first Quote, head to your Studio Manager Dashboard > Quotes and click the Create Quote button.

PayPal payments for Studio Manager

You can now start accepting invoice payments through PayPal. Offer your customers more payment options to choose from, allowing them to pick their preferred and most convenient one. Get paid faster, while your clients enjoy a smooth process with you.

Add PayPal inside Studio Manager through your Dashboard > Settings > Payments, and enable it as a payment method for any draft or new invoices moving forward.

Export your invoice payments

If you’d like to get a detailed overview of your past transactions, or need to report taxes - you can use the “Export” option on your Payments page, to download a breakdown of your invoice payments.

Go to Studio Manager Dashboard > Payments, and click Export. This will compile all your transactions into a CSV file download, which you can open inside a spreadsheet. The file includes such details as client name, email, payment method, the amount paid, currency, transaction date, and more.

Pixieset Website updates
