Opening Preferences

From the homepage, click Name @ Studio in the top-right corner and select Preferences.

Managing Preferences

Here's a quick run-down covering the different sections available in Blueprint Preferences:

My Studio

Add details about your studio (like Address, Contact Info, Website, etc.) into Blueprint. The information will be referenced throughout the system and can be customer-facing, so be sure to keep it up to date!

Section

Details

Studio Name

  • The name of the studio.

Address

  • The address of the studio.

Main Contact

  • The main contact information customers should use to reach out for assistance.

Order Emails

  • The email address your customer's receipts should be sent from.

  • This will also send a carbon copy receipt of each order to the email address used.

Studio Website

  • The website URL of the studio

Membership

You can review your membership details (like rates and membership expiration) at any time. You can also renew your ImageQuix Membership or view contact information for the Product Support Team.

Don't forget to give them your Membership ID if you need support (circled below):

Roles & Permissions

Create and manage roles to fine-tune what features and data users have access to and secure your data from unneeded access. From Assistant Studio Manager to Quality Assurance, you can create and mix roles for just about anything!

You can learn more about creating roles here:

Go to article

Users

There's no additional charge for adding users. It's a best practice to give everyone their own account. Any user you create can have their role(s) assigned to them here. You can also limit their access to specific Jobs or update passwords.

Payouts

This is where you can access (or set up) your integrated Stripe account to view the studio's financial information. You can also trigger an Instant Payout on any pending transfers (for an additional fee) and update your Statement Descriptor (the name that appears on customer's bank statements)

Section

Details

My Connect Account

Current Balance

  • View the current balance of your Stripe wallet in Blueprint.

  • Initiate Instant Payout (For US Customers with a debt-linked card only)

Shopping Cart

Here is where you can customize specific account-level options for your Online Shopping Cart. You can add your Studio's logo as well as enable your Studio contact information to display for the customer to see. Be sure to add your Studio's Gallery Link (the URL circled below) to your website for customers to easily access their pictures from your website!

Additional Settings in Preferences
