How do I use Gallery Intro Messages?

Updated February 29, 2024 21:01

Enhance your clients' gallery experiences with a brief intro message or video clip.

When enabled, a Gallery Visitor message appears before clients see their gallery images, as well as in the About tab in the gallery. It's a great way to provide important information, a personalized message, or ordering instructions. If you are offering prints and products for sale, use this message as a chance to offer a promo code! Read more about discounts here.
