ShootQ
What it is
ShootQ is a web-based CRM and studio management system built for photographers and other creative businesses. It helps studios manage jobs, clients, invoices, and tasks, with tools for tracking leads, creating custom workflows, assigning employee tasks, and building customizable lead forms. Users can prepare proposals, questionnaires, template emails, and customer notes, as well as online contracts and invoices. The service can monitor overdue payments and automate late-payment notices. Scheduling covers appointments and employees, with calendar connections and busy-time blocking. ShootQ can sync with Google, Apple, Outlook, and other calendars; its ShootProof integration creates an album when a job is booked and links it to that job. Payment setup is documented for Square, Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, and PayPal Pro. Paid plans start at $14.95/mo, and a 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan. ShootQ offers phone, chat, and email support, one-to-one setup assistance, and online and self-service training.
