Card payment at booking
Collect before the shoot is confirmed. The calendar slot and the payment are part of the same action, not two things you chase separately.
Payments & invoicing
Get paid for the listing, not for a line on a spreadsheet.
Card payments at booking, invoices for the brokerages that need them, and production payouts for the people who did the work — all attached to the property the money came from.
Why it matters
Billing is where most media businesses leak time.
The shooting is the fun part. The invoicing, the chasing, and working out what each editor is owed is what quietly eats the margin.
When payments live in one app, jobs in another and editor pay in a spreadsheet, every month ends with reconciliation work that produces nothing for a client. Worse, the numbers drift: an invoice goes out for the wrong photo count, a revision gets paid twice, a no-show costs a half-day that was never charged for.
RELMX ties money to the same project record as the work. The invoice comes from what was delivered. The payout comes from what was produced. Nothing needs to be typed in twice.
What you get
Billing built into the job.
Invoices for business clients
Bill brokerages and teams that will not pay by card at booking, with the invoice tied to the property and project it covers.
Line items that match the work
Photo counts, video packages and extras priced per deliverable, so the invoice reads like the job instead of a lump sum.
Your Stripe account, your money
Connect Stripe once. Payouts land in your bank on Stripe's schedule — RELMX does not hold your revenue.
Editor and shooter payouts
Production pay accrues per delivered item to the person who produced it, tracked in the same place as the revenue it came from.
No surprise subscription
Pricing is per deliverable. You are not paying a monthly platform fee in the months you do not shoot.
How it runs
One record, from booking to payout.
- Step 01
Client books
A booking is created with the services and photo count the client selected.
- Step 02
Payment or invoice
Card at booking, or an invoice raised against the business client.
- Step 03
Work runs
Capture, editing and delivery happen against the same project record.
- Step 04
Delivery closes the job
Delivered items are what the billing and the payouts are calculated from.
- Step 05
Editors accrue pay
Each delivered photo or video credits the person who produced it, once.
- Step 06
Books stay tied to listings
Every amount can be traced back to an address and a project.
Payout discipline
Production pay that cannot double-count.
If you use editors or second shooters, the payout rules matter more than the payout button.
- Each delivered photo slot pays once, no matter how many hands touched it
- Revisions on a delivered image do not create a second payment
- Reassigning work moves the credit rather than duplicating it
- Video packages pay against the delivered edit, not the upload
- Everything is traceable back to the project and the address
- Nothing depends on a weekly spreadsheet you have to maintain
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do card payments work?
Card payments run through Stripe. You connect your own Stripe account, so the money moves to your bank on Stripe's schedule and RELMX never sits between you and your revenue.
Can I take payment before I shoot?
Yes. Booking can be gated on payment, so a slot is only confirmed once the client has paid. That is the single most effective no-show fix available to a photography business.
What about brokerages that insist on invoices?
Invoice them. You can bill a business client for delivered work and keep the invoice attached to the property and project it covers, so chasing it later does not require reconstructing what it was for.
How do editors and contractors get paid?
Production work accrues to the person who did it, per delivered item, and payouts are tracked inside the same system. You are not exporting spreadsheets at the end of the week to work out who is owed what.
What does RELMX charge for editing?
HDR photo editing is $0.99 per image, alterations start at $0.50, and video edits start at $20 per listing. Full detail is on the pricing page.
