Verzögerte Zahlung durch späte Online-Galerielieferung

Definition

Australian wedding and event photographers commonly quote delivery times from several days to 2–4 weeks or more for finished images and products.[5][8] During this period, clients often withhold final payment until the full online gallery or album proofs are delivered, which pushes out cash collection and increases Accounts Receivable days. Faster delivery models using real-time upload and cloud galleries demonstrate that immediate or same‑day delivery is technically achievable, but many photographers rely on slower, manual workflows.[1][4] This timing gap represents a systematic time‑to‑cash drag: for a typical AUD 3,000–5,000 wedding package where 30–50% of the fee is due on gallery delivery, a 2–4 week delay in gallery release keeps AUD 900–2,500 locked in receivables per job. Across 20 weddings per year this can tie up AUD 18,000–50,000 in working capital, forcing photographers to use overdrafts or credit cards and incur interest costs.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Photography studios in Australia 🇦🇺 regularly wait 2–6 weeks to deliver galleries and unlock final payments. Automation of culling, editing presets, and online proofing can bring payment forward by 1–3 weeks, improving cash flow by AUD 1,000–3,000 per wedding or event.
