Guide

Everything you need to know about running your business on Rampfox.

Getting Started

Set up your account and start taking orders in under 5 minutes.

How do I create my account?
Head to the signup page and enter your name, email, company name, and a password. You'll land on the onboarding wizard which walks you through branding, your first service, and inviting an agent. No credit card needed.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll go through a quick 4-step onboarding: company details, branding (logo and colors), creating your first service, and optionally inviting an agent. After that, you're on the dashboard ready to receive orders.
How do I set up my booking page?
Your booking page is live the moment you create a service. Share the link from your dashboard (under the order form section) with agents or embed it on your website. Agents can pick services, choose times, and submit orders directly.
Can I import existing clients?
Yes. Go to Contacts and add them manually, or use the Public API (Enterprise plan) to bulk import. Each contact can be linked to an agent portal account with a single click.

Dashboard

Your command center for orders, scheduling, and business overview.

What can I see on the dashboard?
The main dashboard shows your recent orders, upcoming shoots on the calendar, revenue stats, and quick-action buttons for creating orders or adding properties. The sidebar gives you access to every section.
How do I navigate the dashboard?
Use the sidebar on desktop or the bottom tab bar on mobile. Main sections include Orders, Properties, Calendar, Contacts, Invoices, and Settings. Each page has filters and search built in.
Can I customize my dashboard?
The dashboard adapts to your plan tier. Free plans see core features, while paid plans unlock scheduling, invoicing, integrations, and more. Settings lets you configure branding, availability, email templates, and payment preferences.

Orders

Create, manage, and deliver orders through their full lifecycle.

How do I create an order?
Click 'New Order' from the Orders page. Select or create a property, pick a client, choose services, set a date, and submit. You can also let agents submit orders directly through your booking page.
What are the order statuses?
Orders move through: Draft, Pending, Confirmed, Scheduled, In Progress, Editing, Ready for Review, Delivered, and Completed. You can also Cancel or put orders On Hold. Status changes trigger automatic emails to the client.
How do I deliver an order?
Open the order, upload your media to the property, then click Deliver. This generates a branded gallery page, creates delivery links (one for the agent, one vendor-safe), and sends the delivery email automatically.
Can I clone an order?
Yes. On any order's detail page, click the Clone button. It creates a new draft with the same property, client, and services pre-filled. Great for repeat clients or re-shoots.

Properties

Manage listings, upload media, and create delivery pages.

How do I add a property?
Properties are created automatically when you create an order with a new address. You can also create them manually from the Properties page. Each property gets a unique delivery page slug.
How do I upload photos?
Open a property, scroll to the media section, and drag and drop your files. Photos upload directly to cloud storage for speed. Thumbnails and web-optimized versions are generated automatically.
What file types are supported?
Photos: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP (max 50MB each). Videos: MP4, MOV (max 1GB). Floor plans: JPG, PNG, PDF, SVG (max 50MB). All formats are processed into web-optimized versions automatically.
Can I reorder photos?
Yes. Drag and drop photos in the media grid to reorder them. The sort order is reflected on the delivery page. You can also set a hero image that appears prominently at the top of the gallery.

Scheduling

Manage your availability, calendar, and auto-assign shoots to your team.

How do I set my availability?
Go to Settings > Scheduling. Set your weekly hours for each day (e.g., Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). These hours appear as available slots on your booking page. You can also block specific dates for holidays or time off.
How does the calendar work?
The Calendar page shows all scheduled shoots in week or day view. Click any shoot to open the order. You can drag shoots to reschedule (if your plan supports it). Automatic email reminders go out before each appointment.
What is auto-assign?
If you have multiple photographers on your team (Starter+), auto-assign distributes new orders to available team members. It considers availability, existing bookings, and optionally travel time between shoots.
Can I sync with Google Calendar?
Yes. Go to Settings > Integrations and connect your Google Calendar. Scheduled shoots will sync both ways. There's also an iCal feed URL you can subscribe to from any calendar app.

Contacts & Agents

Manage your client database and give agents their own portal access.

What's the difference between a contact and an agent?
A contact is a CRM record (name, email, phone, company). An agent is a contact with a portal login. When you create an agent contact and send a portal invite, they get their own login to place orders, view galleries, and check invoices.
How do I invite an agent to the portal?
Create a contact with the Agent role, or edit an existing contact and toggle 'Send portal invite'. They'll receive an email with a link to set their password and access your branded agent portal.
What can agents do in their portal?
Agents can place new orders through your booking form, view their order history, check schedules on the calendar, download delivered photos, view and pay invoices, and manage their own branding settings.
Can I set different pricing for different agents?
Yes. Create Pricing Groups (Pro+) and assign agents to them. Each group can have custom prices per service, overriding your standard rates. Great for VIP clients or volume discounts.

Invoicing & Payments

Get paid automatically with invoices, Stripe payments, and payment tracking.

How does invoicing work?
When you deliver an order, an invoice is automatically generated (unless disabled). It includes all line items, tax calculations, and a pay-online link. Invoices can be sent on delivery or manually at any time.
How do I accept online payments?
Go to Settings > Payments and connect Stripe. Once connected, invoices include a 'Pay Now' button that accepts credit/debit cards and ACH. Payments are deposited directly to your bank account via Stripe.
Can I disable auto-invoicing?
Yes. In Settings > Payments, toggle 'Disable auto-invoicing' to stop invoices from generating on delivery. You can also disable it per-contact for specific clients who pay differently.
How do payment terms work?
Set default payment terms in Settings > Payments (e.g., Due on Receipt, Net 7, Net 14, Net 30). You can override terms per contact. Overdue invoices are flagged automatically.

Delivery & Galleries

Share beautiful branded galleries with agents and vendors.

What's a delivery page?
Each property gets a branded gallery page at a unique URL. It shows your photos in a beautiful layout with your logo, colors, and company name. Agents can view, download individual photos, or grab everything as a ZIP.
What's the difference between agent and vendor links?
Agent links (Full Access) allow viewing and downloading all photos. Vendor links are view-only: vendors can browse the gallery but can't download, right-click, or access raw files. Perfect for sharing with listing platforms.
Can I password-protect a delivery page?
Yes. When creating or editing a delivery link, you can set a password and/or an expiry date. The viewer will need to enter the password before accessing the gallery.
How do I share delivery links?
After delivery, use the Share button on the property page. You can copy the link directly, send it via email through the platform, or use the vendor share option for view-only access.

Branding

Make the platform yours with custom logo, colors, domain, and white-label email.

How do I set up my branding?
Go to Settings > General. Upload your logo, set your primary brand color, and enter your company details. These apply across your booking page, delivery galleries, emails, invoices, and the agent portal.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro plans and above. Go to Settings > Domain, enter your custom domain (e.g., photos.yourbrand.com), and add the DNS records shown. SSL is provisioned automatically.
How does white-label email work?
On Business plans and above, you can send emails from your own domain (e.g., hello@yourbrand.com). Set up starts with a simple email confirmation. For full deliverability, you can add DKIM authentication via DNS records.
What does 'Powered by Rampfox' mean?
Free and Starter plans show a small 'Powered by Rampfox' line in email footers. Pro plans and above remove this entirely for clean, fully branded emails.

Email Templates

Customize the automated emails your clients receive at every stage.

What emails are sent automatically?
There are 15 email triggers: order confirmation, booking confirmed, shoot scheduled, delivery notification, invoice sent, payment received, reschedule request, password reset, welcome email, portal invite, and more. Each can be customized.
How do I customize an email template?
Go to Settings > Email Templates (Pro+). Click any template to open the editor. You can change the subject line and body content using variables like {{agentName}}, {{propertyAddress}}, and {{orderNumber}}. Preview before saving.
Can I send a test email?
Yes. In the template editor, click 'Send Test' to send a preview to your own email address. It uses sample data so you can see exactly how the email will look to your clients.
Can I reset a template to default?
Yes. Each template has a 'Reset to Default' button that reverts to the built-in version. Your customizations are saved separately, so you can always go back.

Services & Packages

Configure your service catalog, pricing, and promotional offers.

How do I create a service?
Go to the Services page and click 'Add Service'. Enter a name, description, price, estimated duration, and delivery timeframe. Services appear on your booking page for agents to select.
What are pricing groups?
Pricing groups (Pro+) let you set custom prices per service for different client segments. Create a group, set price overrides, then assign contacts to it. Their orders will use the group's pricing automatically.
Can I offer promo codes?
Yes, on Pro+ plans. Go to Settings > Promo Codes. Create codes with percentage or fixed discounts, usage limits, and expiry dates. Agents enter the code during booking for the discount to apply.
How do I deactivate a service?
On the Services page, click the service and toggle it to inactive. Inactive services won't appear on the booking page but are preserved for historical orders. You can't delete a service that has orders attached.

Integrations

Connect with third-party tools to streamline your workflow.

What integrations are available?
Currently: Stripe (payments), Google Calendar (scheduling sync), CubiCasa (automated floor plans), and Hnry (contractor income and tax tracking for NZ/AU). More integrations are coming based on user feedback.
How does the CubiCasa integration work?
Connect your CubiCasa API key in Settings > Integrations. Delivered floor plans sync automatically and are matched to your properties by address. You can also manually browse and import floor plans from the property page.
How does the Hnry integration work?
If you're a contractor in NZ or AU, connect Hnry to auto-push income from paid invoices. It handles tax, deductions, and ACC levies so you don't have to track it manually.
Is there an API I can use?
Yes. Enterprise plans include full API access with API keys. The Public API supports listing and creating orders, contacts, properties, and invoices programmatically. Webhooks notify your systems of events in real time.

Tips & Best Practices

Get the most out of Rampfox with these workflow tips.

What's the fastest way to deliver photos?
Upload photos to the property as you edit them. When ready, open the order and click Deliver. The gallery, delivery links, invoice, and notification email all happen in one click. No file sharing apps needed.
How should I organize my services?
Keep it simple. Most photographers need 3-5 services (e.g., Standard Photos, Premium Photos + Video, Aerial, Floor Plans). Use clear names and descriptions so agents know exactly what they're ordering.
How do I handle re-shoots or edits?
Upload the new media to the same property and re-deliver the order. The gallery updates instantly with the new photos. The agent gets a new delivery email if you choose to send one.
Any tips for agent adoption?
Start by inviting your top 3-5 agents. Send them a quick message explaining the portal with their login link. Once they see how easy it is to book, check status, and download photos, word spreads fast.
