Allow full gallery downloads
I can currently sell individual digital images through my storefront, but there doesn't seem to be a way to sell the entire event as a single, large downloadable product. I would like my clients to be able to purchase and download their entire events directly from my Instaproofs storefront.
This functionality has now been added! You may sell full-event downloads by creating a new “Full Event Instant Download” product in the products tab. There are two limitations: 1) It is only available for users with a high res subscription, and 2) it is only available for events containing less than 1000 images.
Enjoy!

I'w alredy used this couple of times -works fine.
But:
1: could it be pousble to extend it, so you can ad the picture size options you alredy have for the event?
2: exted it to "pr. category", or that the 1000pic. limit ware pr. category - do to size one download file pr category maybe? -

To create a "Full Event Instant Download" product, head into the "products" page within the "Setup" tab, and click "Create New." On the product creation page, give it a name, description, etc., and select "Full event instant download" as the product type. Once the main product has been created, you will need to create options for it. The two available sizing possibilities are "1280px on the Largest Side" and "Full Resolution"; setup the option(s) that you would like your clients to have, and then save the options. Once you have both the product AND one or more options created for it, it will be visible on your storefront in the "Products" category (which is separate from your main images).

Could you please explain in greater detail how to add the ability for Full Event Instant Download to show up in the Pricing list? I have added the gallery download in the products section but it's not showing up anywhere on the pricing lists and there doesn't seem to be an option to add it to any pricing lists.

Brian, the $50 high res subscription provides more benefits than just the full-event downloads, although that ability in and of itself can help make you back your $50 subscription price. The full event downloads are not password protected; they are offered as standard products through your storefront.

oh i see. darn. well thats okay, so then all i have to do is wait for my birth day gift. and take $50 of it and upgrade. right now. i dont have it. so cant upgrade. right now i am in the setting up stage. of using this. i have been using google drive latley for some event photo shoots. 2 to be exact. but i know google drive does not allow all images uploaded. i can upload a max of 240 but thats it. and with no job, and no income. its kinda hard. so $50 for 1 year is that correct from what i was told. no hidden fees nothing.

We have started work on developing this functionality, and we hope to have it ready for testing sometime within the next couple of weeks.
One important thing to be aware of on this is that we are planning on making the functionality available only to those with a high resolution subscription. If you are on the fence about whether or not the subscription is worth the price, you can think of it this way: a high resolution subscription costs only $50/yr, and selling just one full gallery download would more than pay for your full year's subscription costs. Add in the ability to fulfill your orders directly through our site, the unlimited event time limits, the ability to sell high-resolution instant downloads, etc., and the time and money you will save/make with the subscription adds up pretty quickly!

I would love this as well...with additional options for the customer to purchase their favorites folder as a digital download with price being dependent on the number of files chosen. Incorporate customizable pricing levels that encourage customers to purchase more images than fewer.
