Playbooks, security notes, and lessons from building Arteliox and Photo Studio CRM.
Platform
Photo Studio CRM is the first Arteliox solution, 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 to switch location stripping on if you want it.
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.
