Playbooks, security notes, and lessons from building Arteliox and Photo Studio CRM.
Platform
Photo Studio CRM is the first Arteliox vertical, not the whole product. Why building the secure core first — before any one app — is the harder, better bet.
Security
Phones stamp GPS coordinates into every photo. Why that matters for a studio delivering client work — and how Arteliox strips it out automatically.
Playbook
A chargeback two months after delivery shouldn't leave downloads open. How payment state and gallery state stay in sync — automatically.
A buyer's checklist: five questions that separate marketing lines from real guarantees — and what a good answer looks like.
Most studios run a CRM for admin and a separate gallery product for delivery. Here's what the split actually costs — and what one platform changes.
Product
From $9.90 solo starters to $39.90 agencies — how Arteliox pricing works, and why no plan takes a commission.
Who opened the gallery? When was the invoice paid? Arteliox keeps an append-only record of every sensitive action.
Follow-up emails keep shoots moving — until a glitch sends the same one twice. How Arteliox workflows send exactly once.
With Arteliox, your studio is the merchant of record. Client payments land in your Stripe account — never ours.
Your clients shouldn't need another account to see their photos. How secure, link-based portal access works in Arteliox.
Row-level security isn’t a marketing line. Here’s how one tenant can never read another’s records.
Send an invoice, let payment unlock the gallery automatically, and re-lock on refund — end to end.
Why Arteliox never exposes a public file link — and how short-lived signed downloads protect delivered work.
