Frequently Asked Questions

What is Peasier?

Peasier is an all-in-one software platform for creative studios that combines client booking, gallery delivery, invoicing and payments, contracts, AI-assisted culling and face search, and a public portfolio site — replacing the five or six separate tools studios typically stitch together.

Who is Peasier built for?

Peasier is built for creative studios — most commonly photography (wedding, portrait, and event photographers), but the same tools fit content/video production studios and equipment rental businesses too, including multi-location studios running teams of staff. Studio owners, admins, and staff each get role-appropriate access; the studio's clients use Peasier without ever creating an account.

Do Peasier's clients need to create an account?

No. Clients interact with bookings, galleries, invoices, and contracts entirely through private, tokenized links, and email one-time passcodes for sensitive actions like rescheduling or signing. There is no client-side login.

Does Peasier take a cut of my payments, or hold my money?

Peasier never holds or settles a client's payment itself — money goes straight into the photographer's own Paystack (Naira) or Stripe (US Dollars) account, the same as if they'd signed up with that provider directly. The only fee is 5% on invoices while a studio is on the free plan (never on tips); that fee is gone entirely once the studio upgrades to a paid plan.

How does Peasier protect unpaid galleries from being downloaded in full quality?

Every gallery that hasn't been paid for is shown with watermarked previews only. Full-resolution originals unlock automatically the moment the linked invoice is paid — no manual step required. Photographers always see their own original files regardless of payment status.

Can Peasier manage more than one studio location?

Yes. One studio brand can run multiple branches under a single account, with the same client list, sensitive-client protection, and staff roles working consistently across every branch.

Is client and booking data encrypted and audited?

Yes. Each studio's data is walled off from every other studio's, sensitive-client records are restricted to owners and admins, and access to personal, financial, or permission data is kept on record — in line with GDPR and NDPR.

Which face search mode should I use — Cloud, Offline, or Disabled?

All three modes require your client's consent to process their face data — that doesn't change based on the mode. Use Cloud when you need fast face search across a large gallery and are comfortable with data being processed on Peasier's servers. Use Offline when you want to minimize where face data is stored — for a sensitive client or stricter local privacy rules — it runs entirely on your own device and is slower on large galleries. Use Disabled when face search isn't needed, or a client doesn't consent. See AI Culling & Search for the full breakdown.
