If you shoot beach portraits, you know the rhythm. Spot a family, snap some shots, show them the result, and hope they buy.

Every minute spent fumbling with payment or contact info is a minute you could be shooting the next customer.

The Old Way

Most beach photographers juggle multiple devices: one phone for showing photos, another for taking payments, a business card for contact. By the time you switch between them, the customer is already walking away.

The Portfoto Way

Set up an iPad on a small stand with Portfoto running. Connect it to a portable monitor via HDMI for a bigger display. Now you have:

Show. Your photos play in a fullscreen slideshow with smooth transitions.

Pay. Tap the secondary QR code on screen. It switches to your Alipay or WeChat Pay code. Customer scans and pays in seconds.

Connect. The QR code automatically switches back to your contact info. Customer scans again to add you for photo delivery.

Three steps. One iPad. Under 30 seconds.

Why It Works

The faster you close, the more you earn. At a busy beach, every second saved means one more potential customer. Portfoto automatic QR switching eliminates the friction between showing, selling, and following up.

Setting It Up

  1. Download Portfoto from the App Store
  2. Load your sample photos into the app
  3. Configure your contact QR code and payment QR code
  4. Set the auto-revert timer to 5 seconds
  5. Connect to an external display via HDMI

The app remembers your settings. Next time, just open and go.
