Pixieset vs Photography OS FAQ
Everything you need to know about switching your studio workflow.
Why switch from Pixieset in India?
Pixieset forces Indian photographers to pay in USD and requires foreign gateways like Stripe with high transaction cuts and delayed bank transfers. Photography OS settles 100% directly to your Indian bank account via NPCI UPI with zero gateway fees.
How does the 4K payment lock work?
Clients can view watermarked mobile previews. The moment they scan your dynamic UPI QR code and pay, 4K unwatermarked downloads unlock instantly without manual intervention.
