How does a Camera Professional booking work?+
A customer selects a professional, sends requirements and reviews the quotation. After accepting it, the customer pays 50% through the app. The advance is held until both sides confirm shoot completion. The remaining 50% is then paid and held until the agreed photographs, videos or albums are delivered and delivery is confirmed.
Does the Camera Professional flow use editing previews?+
No. Protected preview and correction stages belong to the Video Editor workflow. Camera Professional bookings instead use shoot completion and delivery-confirmation stages.
Can Camera Professionals manage their availability?+
Yes. Camera Professionals can manage current and future availability and indicate Available, Limited or Unavailable status.
Can a Camera Professional join Connect2Edit?+
Yes. Photographers, Videographers, Camera Professionals and Studio Facilities can register, complete their professional profile, add services and up to 50 professional photos, manage availability and receive customer requests. Registration/profile setup is not blocked by the one-time fee; the fee is required only when the professional first tries to open an incoming customer request.
How does Video Editor work differ from Camera Professional bookings?+
Video Editor projects are online editing workflows involving requirements, quotation, protected preview, eligible corrections and final delivery. Camera Professional bookings are on-ground service workflows involving availability, quotation, advance, shoot confirmation, remaining payment and delivery confirmation.
How can a Video Editor join Connect2Edit?+
Video Editors can create an editor account, complete their professional profile, add skills and samples and receive suitable customer editing requests.
Is there a Camera Professional registration fee?+
Yes. The Camera Professional one-time registration fee is ₹100, but it is not collected during registration or profile creation. It is triggered only when the professional first tries to open an incoming customer request. Once paid and verified, future incoming requests open without the fee popup.
What is the Camera Professional Premium plan?+
Camera Professional Premium costs ₹399 monthly or ₹3,999 yearly. Active Premium profiles receive direct Call and WhatsApp buttons, a Premium badge, better ranking, priority visibility and 7.5% commission on in-app bookings. Basic profiles remain available, with direct contact hidden and the standard 10% commission.
Is Aadhaar shown to customers?+
No. A valid 12-digit Aadhaar number is required for Camera Professional identity verification, but Aadhaar information is not displayed publicly to customers.
Is GST registration mandatory for Camera Professionals?+
GST number is optional when the professional or business is not GST registered. If a GST number is provided, it must be valid and belong to the professional or registered business.
