Business Tools Overview

ALIVE isn't just a photobooth app — it's a full business management platform. Whether you're juggling multiple events, sending proposals to clients, or tracking payments, the built-in business tools help you run a professional operation without switching between a dozen apps.



What's Included?


Here's a quick look at everything available from your web dashboard:


  • Proposals — Create polished, branded proposals with services, pricing, effects showcases, and digital signatures. Send them to clients and track their status from draft to signed.
  • Payments — Collect deposits and full payments directly through your proposals via Stripe. Support for multiple currencies (USD, ILS) and automatic payment tracking.
  • Questionnaires — Build reusable questionnaire templates to gather event details from clients — venue info, guest count, special requests, and more.
  • Client Database — Keep all your client information in one place. Store contacts, notes, tags, and view their full event history.
  • Bookings — Manage your event calendar, assign team members, and link bookings to clients and proposals.
  • Team Management — Add team members, assign them to bookings, and keep everyone in the loop.



Where to Find Everything


All business tools live in your web dashboard at photobooth.alive-pic.com. From the sidebar, navigate to:


  • Proposals — to manage proposals, catalog items, and questionnaire templates
  • Clients — to manage your client database, bookings, calendar, team, and contacts




How It All Connects


The real power is how these tools work together:


  1. A client reaches out about an event
  2. You create a proposal with your packages and pricing
  3. The client views it, fills out a questionnaire, and signs digitally
  4. Payment is collected automatically via Stripe
  5. A booking is created and appears on your calendar
  6. Your team member gets assigned and notified


You can start with just proposals and add the other tools as your business grows. Nothing is required — use what makes sense for you.



Service Catalog


Before you start creating proposals, set up your Service Catalog. This is where you define reusable packages, add-ons, backdrops, templates, and themes with default prices. When building a proposal, you can pull items directly from your catalog instead of typing everything from scratch.


Categories include:

  • Packages — Your main service offerings
  • Add-ons — Extra services clients can choose
  • Backdrops — Physical backdrop options
  • Templates — Photo template designs
  • Themes — Event themes
  • Other — Custom categories you define
