Six payment moments

The six moments a photographer needs to get paid

Each one is where a wedding, portrait, sports, or event photographer typically leaves money on the table. CoreMobile is built so none of them require chasing an invoice.

1. Consultation

Lock the booking

Couple says yes at the coffee meeting. Tap their card right there for the deposit. The deal is closed before they walk back to the car and second-guess.

2. Payment plan

Auto-charge monthly

Set up a recurring monthly charge on the client's card for the remaining package balance. Card Updater handles reissued cards so the plan never stalls.

3. Wedding day

Final on-site

Final balance due before you shoot. Tap-to-pay from the bridal suite while the couple is getting ready. Receipt in their inbox, you start working.

4. Gallery reveal

In-person upsell

Reveal session is the highest-emotion moment. Client picks the album, picks the wall print, taps to pay. The upsell closes in the moment instead of in a follow-up email.

5. Sports / school day

On-field sales

Selling prints, packages, or digital downloads at picture day or a tournament. Multiple staff phones take payments in parallel. Cellular data, no gym Wi-Fi required.

6. Mini-session day

Pre-paid time slots

Selling 30 or 60 mini-session slots back-to-back. Client picks a time, taps to pay, gets a receipt and a calendar invite. No Venmo chasing, no “I forgot my wallet” cancellations at the door.

Common Questions

CoreMobile for photographers FAQs

Can wedding photographers take card deposits on-site?
Yes. The client taps their card on your phone at the consultation and you both get a receipt in seconds - no reader to carry.
How do photographers usually accept the final payment before delivery?
Tap-to-pay at the reveal, key in the card by phone, or send a pay link. Funds typically land next business day.
Can I collect tap-to-pay payments for gallery upsells like prints and albums?
Yes. The client picks the album or print package, taps to pay, and walks out with the order placed.
Does CoreMobile work for sports and school photographers selling on-site?
Yes. CoreMobile runs on the phone's cellular data, so spotty gym Wi-Fi never stops the line, and multiple staff can take payments at once.
Can clients pay a payment plan monthly with CoreMobile?
Yes. CoreMobile stores the card securely and charges the payment plan on schedule, and Card Updater keeps it running if the card is reissued.
Are CoreMobile fees lower than Square or PayPal for photographers?
Usually, at steady volume CoreMobile's interchange-plus pricing beats Square or PayPal flat rates. Confirm their current rates before deciding.
