Hello-

Last night I received my first order for digital downloads. It raises a couple questions.

1. With downloads, do I not get my standard proofing days so I can retouch and upload the full-resolution original? It appears I don't since there's no "replace photo" button on the order page. But what good is that?

2. I have my personal use originals priced as follows:

1 MP: $7.50
4 MP: $30.00
original: $60.00

And then the invoice for last night reads like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Qty Item Subtotal
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Download: Original (Personal) $60.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
2 4 x 6 (Gloss) $10.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
2 4 x 6 (Gloss) $10.00 USD
2 4 x 6 (Gloss) $10.00 USD
1 Download: Original (Personal) $150.00 USD
5 4 x 6 (Gloss) $25.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
1 4 x 6 (Gloss) $5.00 USD
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Total: $315.00 USD

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So if my original files are priced at $60, how did this person get billed $150 for the second download?

Thanks,
Peter

Just got this from my client:

I was not able to download the digital images--at least I couldn't seem to make it work.

PeterHi Peter, the two digital dowloads are from different galleries it seems. The second gallery has the pricing set to 5/50/150 USD for 1/4/original. Which is the correct one?

The proofing indeed does not apply to Digital Downloads, I'm sorry. See the gotcha on this page: http://www.smugmug.com/help/sell-digital-downloads

I will reset the password for your customer, and let him know :thumb

PeterI've reset it, emailed your customer and I copied you on it as well.

The money charged is okay like it is?

Yeah, the money is okay. He apparently agreed to both charges when he paid it, and I feel like $60 for my original is too low anyway. I need to get into those galleries and update my pricing to be consistent throughout. But for this order, I'm fine with it as-is.

Thanks!
Peter
