A booking system for photographers — one link that takes deposits
Freelance photographers don't have to chase down chats to say which days are free. Zentr lets you build one booking link with your packages, prices and sample photos. Clients pick a slot you're actually free and pay a deposit in the same page — and the money lands in your account directly.
Why taking bookings eats more time than the shoot itself
Most freelance photography work starts in chat. Clients ask for prices, ask if you're free that day, ask to see sample work, then disappear for two days and come back to ask again. By the time one booking is confirmed you've sent dozens of messages.
Then come double-bookings and no-shows. A client reserves verbally and never shows, or books the same day as a job you already took because there's no shared calendar to check. With no deposit, you lose the whole day for free.
Common symptoms
Answering the same questions over and over — what's in each package, the price, how many files
Jotting bookings in your phone notes and accidentally taking two on the same day
A client confirms verbally then vanishes, leaving the shoot day empty
Someone messages at night; by the time you reply in the morning they've hired another photographer
How it works
How Zentr helps photographers
One booking link
Send one link instead of replying to each chat
Build a booking page that brings your packages, prices, sample photos and real open slots into one place. Drop the link in your IG bio or paste it into a chat, and clients book themselves without waiting for you to type a reply.
Result
No more answering the same questions every day
Deposits
Take a deposit at booking, paid straight to you
Set clients to pay a deposit when they book, through Omise or Stripe. The money goes directly to your account and Zentr takes no commission. A booking with a deposit is a client who genuinely intends to show up.
Fees
Only Omise/Stripe's standard rates
Packages and photos
Each package has its own price and samples
Portraits, graduation, pre-wedding, events — set a separate price, duration and sample photos for each package. Clients see exactly what they get for the price before they decide to book.
Supports
Multiple packages with sample photos each
AI chat
Someone answers even while you're behind the camera
The Plus plan includes an AI chatbot that answers questions about packages, prices and open slots, then sends clients to your booking page. While you're shooting a job or asleep, something still closes the booking for you.
Quota
2,000 answers per cycle, then shows your contact method
Before a job
One client, start to finish
It's 10pm and someone messages on IG: "Do you shoot graduation photos next Saturday? What's the rate?" Instead of typing a long reply and sending sample photos one by one, you send a single booking link.
The client opens the graduation package, sees the price and the samples, picks 9am next Saturday when you're actually free, and pays the deposit right there via PromptPay. In the morning you wake up to a confirmed, deposit-paid booking — not a pile of messages you still can't tell will turn into real work.

FAQ
Questions photographers ask
Can clients book a shoot through one link?
Yes. You create one booking link with your packages, prices and sample photos. Clients open the link, pick a package and a slot you are actually free, and book in a single page — no more going back and forth in chat to ask which days are open.
Can I take a deposit upfront, and does Zentr take a cut?
You can collect a deposit at booking through Omise or Stripe. The money goes straight to your account. Zentr takes no commission on bookings — only the payment provider's standard processing fee applies.
I have several packages at different prices. How many can I add?
You can add multiple packages, each with its own price, duration and sample photos. The Free plan allows 10 services with up to 3 photos each. Solo and Plus add unlimited services and more photos per service.
Clients message me late at night about availability. Can it reply automatically?
The Plus plan includes the Zentr AI Chatbot with 2,000 answers per billing cycle. It answers questions about packages, prices and open slots and sends clients to your booking page. You can share the chatbot link on social media. When the quota runs out it stops answering and shows the contact method you set, such as a phone number.
