This past month, we’ve been working on improving how you can get paid when selling images through picu, as well as tackling some smaller bugfixes and improvements under the hood.
Let’s dive straight into what’s new.
PayPal Support
We’re excited to announce that picu Pro now officially supports PayPal as a payment gateway when selling images, which was one of the most requested features since we launched e-commerce functionality a few months ago.
You can now offer your clients even more flexibility at checkout, with PayPal joining Stripe and bank transfer as payment options. Set it up once, toggle it per gallery, and offer your clients to pay the way they prefer.
Bank Transfer
Not everyone needs (or wants) automated payment processing. For those who prefer to handle payments directly, we’ve added bank transfer as a manual payment option. When enabled, clients can select bank transfer at checkout and will be able to manually pay using your bank details. You’ll be notified of the order, and once you’ve confirmed receipt of payment, you can manually mark it as complete. It’s straightforward, gives you full control, and perfect for photographers who want to avoid processing fees or simply prefer direct client payments.
RankMath Compatibility
In August, we started receiving some reports about compatibility issues between picu and the popular Rank Math SEO plugin. Thanks to those reports we were able to isolate and fix these issues quickly. Make sure you update to the latest versions of both picu Core and picu Pro to make sure you always get all the latest fixes and improvements.
Documentation Updates
With the release of PayPal in picu Pro, we also added some new documentation pages:
Help Us Spread the Word
We’re a small team working hard to make picu the best photo proofing solution out there, and your reviews genuinely make a difference. If picu has been useful for your photography business, we’d love it if you could share your thoughts on WordPress.org. A positive review there helps us in rankings and makes it easier for other photographers to find picu. Thank you for being part of the picu community!
