“Can a photographer-first gallery platform become the merchant-of-record print storefront that captures the sale, tax, and payout layer for the global professional photography industry?”
Founded by photographer Nirit and technologist Amir as a way to share event photos with parents at a dance recital. Grew into a professional gallery-delivery SaaS with an embedded print store network of 30+ global labs. Pic-Time acts as merchant of record by default (collecting payments, remitting sales tax, paying out photographer profits), with an optional pass-through mode where photographers use their own PayPal/Stripe/Square gateway. Recent evolution centers on AI (gallery search, album designer, image filter) and the Pic-Time 2.0 shop redesign to drive higher print-sales conversion.
