Loupe
Private client galleries from your Media Library: favourites, a selection that pastes into Lightroom, and prints or downloads through WooCommerce.
Loupe is for photographers who proof and sell on WordPress.
Inside Loupe
Galleries from your Media Library
pick the photos you already uploaded - no second upload.
A private link for each client, with an optional PIN and opening and closing dates. "New link" retires the old one.
Favourites with a limit
"pick 30 for the album" - the page counts down, and the client sends the selection when they are done.
Straight into Lightroom
you get the chosen file names by email, ready to paste into Lightroom's filename filter.
Prints and downloads
each gallery has its own price list. The cart is WooCommerce's own, and prices are always read from the gallery at checkout.
Downloads done safely
a bought digital file is a signed link that lasts 7 days and 5 downloads. Originals are never linked on the page.
Proof words across each photo, if you like. Galleries are kept out of search engines and page caches.
Before you start
Asked first
Does the client need an account?
No. The private link (and the PIN, if set) is their way in.
Can the client change their selection after sending it?
Tick "Reopen the client's selection" on the gallery and they can.
