Platform service · Booking and payments
One cart. One checkout. Every site.
Every Virtual.Photo site sends customers to the same secure cart. Payments go through Stripe, and each sale records which site and photographer it came from.
ALPHA The shared cart is built and running in Stripe test mode. Live payments switch on after final approval.
What it does
How it works for you.
Shared cart
cart.virtual.photo holds one basket for every Virtual.Photo site, so customers can mix packages and quote items.
Secure checkout
Card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout page, never on ours.
Confirmed by the server
An order counts as paid only when Stripe confirms it to our server, not when a page loads.
Credited to the right person
Each order records the site, photographer and 360° view that led to it.
Who it's for
Good for everyone on the platform.
Customers
Book a package in a few taps and get a receipt straight away.
Photographers
Your bookings are tracked to you, with no payment setup of your own.
Operators
Sales, tax and refunds handled once, on one Virtual.Photo account.
Where it stands
Today, and what's next.
The cart and checkout are built (v0.0136) and tested in Stripe test mode. Before taking real payments we're finishing tax setup and booking, cancellation and refund terms. Quote items such as video and review placards sit in the same cart and are confirmed before you pay.
