    Pros:
    Showing clients their images on their walls always impresses them and makes my job so much easier. The order export kees things quick and simple for me to place the order with my lab, with any additional touch ups I see fit.
    Cons:
    The fact it is all on the web slows it down a lot. Takes awhile to upload a client's image if wifi isn't too good. I don't like how you can't save to suggestions during an ordering session, you have to add it to the cart.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for your honest review, Jennifer! If you haven't already, please upvote the feature request for saving a suggestion during an ordering session. Thanks!!

    Pros:
    I like all the features it offers for an affordable price. I like that you can keep up with clients and cull through their images, and clients love that I can add their photos to their wall to see what it is going to look like before they buy!
    Cons:
    I don't like that when you go through the images and clients choose which photos they like and which ones they don't like you cannot see the number of images they have selected to keep. I always get the question "ok, so how many photos have we said we liked?" and then I have to go and manually count each photograph which can lead to me miscounting and it is time consuming. It is also tough once you choose the images they like and don't like to go back from the designer to the compare window. Sometimes I have clients that will change their mind and they want to see an image the decided against the first time up on their wall, I have had times where I lose all the information in regards to what they culled through and it looks unprofessional on my part.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for your honest review! When you can, I'd love to get on a call with you about how you're using Swift Galleries and what you're doing in terms of needing to know the number of yes/no images. In case there's any confusion, you can put No images into products and put them through the whole order and the order will still be completed, so you do not need to change a No to a Yes to be able to include it in an order.

    Pros:
    All I've done is pay for it! I bought it when it was just for spec'ing my images on client walls. Now I just a "sponsor!" Foolish. I need to use it or stop paying for as I assume I'll not get any money back.
    Cons:
    It may duplicate what I already have w/17Hats. I started paying annually for Swift 5+ yrs ago because they had a great deal to lock in the price. Then I started w/17Hats.

    Vendor Response

    Hey Jeff, I'd love to get you into Swift Galleries, the Path to Printmaker, and the Printmaker Coalition so you can look at everything you have available with your membership. I do see you have had a subscription since July 2016 and we've had a lot happen since then. Reach out via chat or email from the website any time!

    Pros:
    Swift Galleries strikes the perfect balance between features and footprint. It's got everything you need (and nothing you don't need) to help you and your clients design print collections for their home, whether you are meeting in person, or remotely on video. If you are looking for a tool, and a plan with concrete, manageable steps to help you provide better value to your clients, and more sustainable revenue for yourself, this is the tool you should consider.
    Cons:
    Like most tools, there are some places where the interface can be inefficient - more clicks or context switches than I'd like. The developers actively seek out feedback from the user community, so I expect the interface to evolve with successive updates.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks so much for the honest review, and the perfect review title! We're so glad you see our continual work toward the best product and appreciate your kind words. We'll continue working hard for you!

    Pros:
    I knew I needed to show not just talk about what I wanted to sell and Swift Galleries made that possible. Being able to place my images on actual walls helped my customers gain the vision I already had. I'm excited about their new payment plan app.
    Cons:
    Only being able to sell wall portraits or wall collages. I think there was a work around but I didn't have enough time to explore that.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for the review! I think maybe you're talking about non-wall art? When you set up a sales meeting (in the client area click on Opportunities, with a shopping bag icon) and go through the sales meeting, add-ons is a section in the checkout. So you'll add any wall art to the cart, click to checkout then add any non-wall art (we call them add-ons) and finish going through checkout. Email or chat if you have any other questions - we're always happy to help!

    I absolutely love this entire program and it has changed my business. I have convinced one other photographer to join and she is so happy with the program as well. the representatives are very personable and care about my success. They are super fast at responding to my questions and very inspiring in their content and development of the program, the facebook group, and the resources for us to learn and grow as IPS photographers.

    One think I think could be added to the Swift Galleries App is a way to amend/change invoices for returns or corrections.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for the review! I can see why you would want to amend/change invoices for returns or corrections. I'm going to talk with the team about how this could be handled and what we would need to do legally. Would you want to be able to amend a payment (basically, refund partial or full payments in Swift Galleries) in your invoices/orders section and have that go directly through Stripe for you? Email/chat at me when you get a chance, I'd love some more info on what this could look like!

    What I love most about this software is that the customer support is AMAZING. They are always responsive to my questions, so that I can utilize the software to its potential.
    Cons:
    If I had to pick one thing is that I'd love to be able to have the ability to enter different mat sizes for the length vs. width.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for your kind and honest review! As far as the mat sizes, I know exactly what you mean. I made and posted a YouTube video that might be helpful for you - for now, spring 2019, it's a workaround, but we have some updates up our sleeves, hopefully by the end of 2019, that will solve the mat width issue for you!

    If I have to choose something, I don't use the slideshow feature because I make my own outside of Swift Galleries. However a new feature now is that you can import your own slideshow! Swift Galleries just keeps going from strength to strength!
