What Afterify is
Afterify combines client galleries, photo storage, a website builder with blogging, and a print store for photographers and creative professionals. Its Studio organizes photos in client-based project folders, and galleries let clients select favorite images. Sellers can control download permissions and the image sizes available. The drag-and-drop website builder includes text, image, slideshow, map, and form components without coding. Print orders are fulfilled on demand by WHCC and shipped to customers. Store payments are processed through checkout and made available in the seller's Stripe account; third-party payment processors may include PayPal and Stripe. The Free plan includes 2GB storage, up to 10 website components, five blog posts, and a 15% commission on store sales. Early Adopter costs $6 a month and includes 100GB storage, unlimited blog posts, 0% store commission, and full feature access. Afterify lists a 7-day trial. After cancellation, accounts revert to Free at the billing period's end, and content above the new storage limit may be deleted after a short period.
