Who It's For

Built for every kind of visual creative.

Whether you shoot, film, fly, or edit; APCHR is designed around how visual creatives actually work and get paid.

Portrait, wedding, real estate, commercial, editorial, events, and headshots.

Videographers

Wedding, commercial, music video, event, documentary, and real estate video.

Drone Operators

FAA-certified pilots offering aerial photo and video for real estate, events, and commercial work.

Photo and Video Editors

Remote editors offering culling, retouching, color grading, and post-production services.

Production Crew

How It Works

From profile to paid; in five steps.

APCHR handles the entire client lifecycle so you can focus on the work.

1

Build your storefront

Create a public profile with your portfolio, service packages, pricing, availability, and bio. Your storefront is searchable by buyers in your city and category from day one.

2

Receive and manage inquiries

Buyers browse your profile and send booking requests. You review, respond, and confirm; all within the platform. Automated follow-up sequences handle the leads you have not replied to yet.

3

Collect deposits and sign contracts

Send a proposal, collect a deposit via your preferred payment gateway, and have your client sign a digital contract; all in one flow. Vertical-specific licensing starter points are pre-loaded for your niche.

4

Shoot, produce, and collaborate

Manage your project timeline, communicate with clients, coordinate second shooters or editors, and track milestones from a single dashboard.

5

Deliver and get paid

Send finished work through a branded client portal with galleries, proofing, and download options. Final payment is collected automatically on delivery approval via your connected payment gateway.

Your Storefront

Your portfolio. Your packages. Your market position.

Your APCHR profile is a fully branded public storefront. Showcase your portfolio, define your service packages with clear pricing, set your availability, and let the Deal Rater signal your value to buyers before they even reach out.

  • Portfolio galleries with commerce built in
  • Service packages with tiered pricing
  • Deal Score badge on every profile
  • Real-time availability calendar
  • Verified reviews and response rate signals

The Platform

Eight pillars. One platform.

Every tool a creative business needs; from first inquiry to final delivery and beyond.

Discover

Your public profile and portfolio storefront, searchable by buyers in your city and category.

Sell

Packages, proposals, contracts, deposits, and payments; all handled without leaving the platform.

Manage

CRM, project pipelines, scheduling, and automated follow-up to keep your business running smoothly.

Collaborate

Invite second shooters, editors, or crew members; assign roles and split payouts automatically.

Produce

Vertical-specific workflows for real estate, weddings, portraits, headshots, and commercial shoots.

Deliver

Branded client portals with galleries, proofing, approvals, and rights summaries.

License

Manage usage rights, license upgrades, renewals, and expiration tracking per project.

Grow

Review requests, referral campaigns, upsell automations, and market-aware pricing signals.

Production Collaboration

Bring in your team. Split the work and the pay.

Whether you work with second shooters, remote editors, drone operators, or a full crew; APCHR handles the coordination, communication, and payout splitting so you can focus on the production.

Invite collaborators by role

Add second shooters, editors, drone pilots, or assistants to any project. Assign role-based permissions so each collaborator only sees what they need.

Automatic payout splitting

Define each collaborator's share upfront; flat fee or percentage. When the client pays, APCHR splits and routes payouts automatically. No manual transfers, no awkward conversations.

Shared project timelines

Every collaborator sees the same project milestones, shoot dates, delivery deadlines, and client notes. Everyone stays aligned without a separate project management tool.

Internal team messaging

Keep team communication separate from client communication. Internal threads stay private; client-facing messages stay professional. Both live inside the same project.

Job Referrals

Can't take the job? Pass it on and still get paid.

When a client inquiry comes in and you're booked, outside your specialty, or not in the right market; don't just turn it away. Refer it to a trusted creative on APCHR and earn an automatic referral fee when the job closes. No awkward handoffs, no lost relationships.

01

Receive an inquiry you can't take

A client reaches out for a date you're booked, a specialty outside your focus, or a city you don't cover. Instead of a dead end, you have an option.

02

Find the right creative on APCHR

Browse verified creatives by specialty, location, and availability. Review their portfolio and Deal Score before you make the recommendation. You're putting your name on it; choose well.

03

Send a formal job referral

Submit the referral through your dashboard with the client's details and project scope. The receiving creative gets a notification and can accept or decline. The client is introduced professionally.

04

Earn your referral fee automatically

Set your referral fee upfront; flat amount or percentage of the job value. When the referred creative collects payment, your fee is routed to your account automatically. No chasing, no invoicing.

The client is introduced. Marcus accepts. You earn $140 when they pay.

Keep the relationship

Clients remember who helped them find the right person. Referring a job builds trust and keeps you top of mind for future work.

Earn on jobs you can't take

Every inquiry has value. A date conflict or specialty mismatch doesn't have to mean zero revenue.

Expand your network

Creatives who refer jobs build reciprocal relationships. The creatives you refer to are more likely to refer back to you.

Income Streams

Five ways to monetize your work.

Most creative platforms only support one-time bookings. APCHR is built to help you earn from every dimension of your work; active, passive, and recurring.

Sessions and Bookings

Your primary service revenue. Set packages, collect deposits, and manage every booking from inquiry to delivery.

Recurring Retainers

Lock in predictable monthly income. Set retainer terms, auto-renewal cadence, and scope limits; clients are billed automatically each cycle.

Print Sales

Offer wall art, albums, and prints directly from your delivery portal. Fulfillment integrations handle the rest.

Stock Photo and Video

License your existing work as stock assets. Set pricing tiers, define usage rights, and earn passively.

Custom Commissions

Accept requests for bespoke work; fine art prints, editorial projects, or branded content; with scoped agreements built in.

From Creatives

What early access creatives are saying.

"I used to juggle HoneyBook, Pic-Time, QuickBooks, and a Google Sheet for leads. APCHR replaced all of it. My inquiry-to-booking rate went up because I stopped dropping the ball on follow-ups."

Marcus Webb

Commercial and Portrait Photographer, Austin TX

"The real estate module alone is worth it. MLS delivery, rush-order tracking, and the listing-linked gallery system saved me probably 6 hours a week. My agents love the branded portals."

PN

Priya Nair

Real Estate Media Photographer, Dallas TX

"I was skeptical about another platform, but the licensing starter points for wedding work are genuinely useful. My attorney reviewed them in 20 minutes and we were done. That alone saved me $400."
