Envira Gallery Payments Addon

Envira Gallery Payments Addon adds purchasing to existing Envira Gallery galleries, so photographs and other digital images can be sold from the same interface used to display them. Stripe handles the payment connection, while pricing, purchase controls and order details stay in WordPress.

A sales layer for galleries

The addon is built around the image rather than a separate product catalogue. You can set a price for an individual image or select several images and assign a price in bulk. That suits photographers who organise work into galleries and want each photograph to remain part of its original presentation.

Purchase buttons can appear in the gallery grid, the lightbox, or both. Their wording is customisable, which gives you control over labels such as the action customers see beside an image. The lightbox option is particularly useful for visitors who inspect a larger version before deciding to buy.

Stripe checkout in place

Once a Stripe account is connected, customers can pay directly through the gallery experience. The vendor positions this as a way to sell images without adding WooCommerce or building a separate eCommerce system around the gallery. For a site focused on digital photographs, that keeps the selling workflow closely tied to the visual content.

• Set prices for single images or groups of images.
• Display purchase buttons in galleries, lightboxes, or both.
• Change the purchase button text.
• Let customers choose from available image download sizes.
• Deliver purchased images automatically after successful payment.
• Require manual order review before fulfilment when that suits the sales process.

Orders and fulfilment

The Payments section provides a central place to review sales without opening Stripe for every order. Order records include the order ID, customer details, purchased images, gallery information, amount, date and payment status. Filters for completed, refunded, pending and cancelled orders help separate active sales from orders needing attention.

Automatic fulfilment handles delivery after a successful payment, while manual review provides a checkpoint before an image is released. That combination covers both immediate digital delivery and workflows where a photographer wants to inspect an order first. Download-size selection also gives customers a defined choice before checkout instead of treating every purchase as the same file.

What to weigh

The Stripe connection is a direct dependency: selling through this addon requires a Stripe account, so it is not a payment-agnostic solution. The product is also deliberately centred on digital images inside Envira galleries. Sites needing a broader catalogue, physical goods, or the wider shop tooling associated with WooCommerce would be choosing a narrower sales layer rather than a general eCommerce system.

There is also a decision to make around fulfilment. Automatic delivery is convenient for straightforward purchases, but manual review adds an administrative step before customers receive their files. That is useful for controlled sales, though it makes the process less immediate when every order could otherwise be delivered automatically.

Who it suits

Envira Gallery Payments Addon fits photographers selling event images, artwork, stock images and other downloadable visual work from organised galleries. It is a focused option for turning an existing image collection into a checkout-enabled storefront while keeping prices, buttons and orders in WordPress. The strongest match is a site where the gallery is the product catalogue and Stripe is an acceptable payment route.
