Use Cases
There are four common ways to run a photo booth business, and each one uses Pixture a little differently. A self-service booth has to run on its own all day, an event booth is booked and paid for by a client, a multi-booth studio needs several booths to act as one, and a pop-up box works wherever the crowd is this weekend. Pick the one closest to your business; each page walks through the setup from plan to reporting and links to the tutorials for the detailed steps.
| You run | Who pays | What matters most | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| A self-service booth in a mall, café, campus or cinema | Every guest, at the booth, with nobody there | Taking payment unattended, staying online, fresh frames | Self-Service Photobooth |
| Event rentals for weddings, corporate dinners and launches | The client, a flat fee per event | A branded look per event, free sessions for guests, the album for the client | Event Rental |
| A multi-booth studio, four to eight booths in one unit | Every guest, at the counter or at the booth | Setting booths up once, one queue, one cashier | Multi-Booth Studio |
| A pop-up box at markets, festivals and campus fairs | Every guest, at the stall | Quick setup, paying for the days you work, weak internet | Pop-Up Booth |
Many operators mix them: a studio that also takes wedding bookings, or a mall booth that goes to a festival on the weekend. One Pixture account runs all of it; each booth and each event keeps its own templates, prices and reports.
What Every Setup Shares
Whichever model you run, the first steps are the same:
- Create your account and install the Pix Desktop App on the booth computer.
- Pair the booth and set it up: templates, screen design, filters and pricing.
- Decide how the computer gets Pix Pro: by the month or year for a booth that works most days, an Event Pass per day for a booth that works some days. See Plans & Pricing.
- Connect a way to get paid, unless your client pays you directly. See Create a Payment Gateway.
