3️Uploading your first batch of content

Upload batches allow you to upload and manage your content in an organized and structured way. When uploading content to Pixify, you have to create a batch, essentially a group of files uploaded together.

Each batch has its name and other relevant details. Batches enable you to group your content uploads and associate pricelists to batches instead of individual files. If you are a photographer or videographer, uploading all your content from a single photoshoot or production into a batch can be particularly useful. Once your content is uploaded, you can still mix it into different collections on Shopify.

Batches are the only way to upload content to Pixify, and they are essential to keeping your content organized.

Creating a batch

This is the place to start to create a new batch. Here's a brief overview of the input fields on this page:

Details

Upload batch title: The name of your batch in Pixify. This name will only reflect in Pixify unless you tick the box below.

Create a Shopify collection for batch: If you tick this box, the batch will be created as a Shopify collection.

Pricelist

Here, you select what pricelist to associate with the batch.

Photoshoot

The Photoshoot section in Pixify allows you to create a Shopify collection that contains all the content from a specific shoot. You can name the collection in the backend and also choose a name that will appear visible to your store customers. Photographers often organize their projects with specific names, like "2023-11-20 - Lilly's Bridal Shower". However, they may prefer the front-facing collection name on the store to simply be "Lilly's Bridal Shower".

So in short, this setting creates a Shopify collection where you can use a backend name for yourself and a front-facing name for your visitors.

Photoshoot name: The name of the collection that will be visible to visitors of your store.

Photoshoot ID: The backend name, e.g. "2023-11-20 - Lilly's Bridal Shower". This will only be visible to you in the Shopify backend.

Models

The Models section in Pixify allows you to create a Shopify collection containing all the content from a specific model into the collection. So, if you use the same model across multiple batches or photoshoots, they'll all automatically be collected into the collection with the name of

The name of this collection in Shopify will be "Model: Name of model". If you use Pixify App Blocks to show collections, we'll show a different name in the storefront, which will be "Name of model".

We obscure surnames on the storefront, so if you input Jane Doe, the name displayed will be Jane D.

Product vendor name

If you have multiple vendors in your store, use this field to define the vendor for this batch.
