What Is Spatiko?
Spatiko is an all-in-one platform for real estate photography businesses — online booking, scheduling, invoicing, media delivery, and property websites.
Last updated
Spatiko is an all-in-one business platform for real estate photographers. It replaces the scattered stack most photo businesses run on — a booking form here, a calendar there, an invoicing tool, a file-transfer service, a listing-site builder — with one system where a shoot is booked, scheduled, delivered, and paid for in a single record.
Clients book from a public booking page, the order lands on your calendar, you upload and deliver the media through a branded gallery, Spatiko generates the invoice, and the same shoot can become a single-property website with nothing re-uploaded or re-typed.
Who Spatiko is for
Spatiko is built for real estate photography and media businesses — solo photographers and growing teams alike. If you shoot listings (photos, video, drone, floor plans, 3D tours) for real estate agents and spend too much of your week on scheduling texts, chasing invoices, and re-sending download links, Spatiko is the admin layer that does that work for you. Your clients — the agents — get a booking page, automatic confirmations, a delivery gallery, and a self-serve client portal, so they stop emailing you for things they can find themselves.
How Spatiko fits together
Everything in Spatiko hangs off a small set of objects. Understanding how they connect makes the rest of these guides click:
- Services and packages are your catalog — the menu of what you sell. Each service has one pricing model: a flat price, a price tiered by property size, a rate per square foot (or m²), or named variations. Packages bundle services at a combined price. When a brokerage or a single agent should pay different rates, a price list gives them their own discount, custom prices, or services only they can book.
- Order forms are public booking pages built from that catalog. Each order form shows a curated subset of your services and packages, plus your own booking questions (lockbox codes, occupancy, parking). On a higher plan you can run several forms for different audiences — a standard listings menu, a luxury set, a rental-media set — but forms choose what’s offered, never what it costs: prices come from the catalog, or from the client’s price list. Your booking form, portal, emails, and invoices can also be offered in French.
- Orders are the heart of the system. Whether an agent books through a form or you create the order by hand, every shoot becomes an order tying together the client, the property, the line items, the scheduled sessions, and the payment. Orders move through stages — Planning, Production, and Delivery out of the box — until they’re completed, and on Pro and up you can rename stages or add your own, like an Editing step. Agents who work for the same brokerage can be grouped under a company, so every order they book rolls up in one place.
- Scheduling happens automatically at booking. The calendar and availability engine only offers agents time slots that fit your working hours, existing shoots, travel time between properties, and (for twilight services) the actual light at the property. Travel fees are priced from each photographer’s own settings — by distance, or by zones you draw on a map.
- Payments and invoicing run alongside the order. Spatiko generates invoices and receipts in-house — with any sales tax you charge applied to the order and itemized on the invoice — and you choose when clients pay: upfront by card through Stripe or Square, on delivery with a pay-to-download gate, or on net terms. Clients who order often can get one invoice covering several orders, or a weekly or monthly bill.
- Media delivery turns everything you shot — photos, floor plans, video, tour links, and any other file you hand over — into a branded gallery the agent can preview and download. Agents can flag the individual photos they want changed, so revision notes arrive pinned to the shot in question instead of buried in an email thread. Cloud storage sync and an outside-editor workflow feed the same gallery, and AI Studio can edit photos for you — a virtual twilight, for example — on Starter and up, using AI credits.
- Property websites are single-listing sites built from the order’s media in one click, with branded and MLS-safe unbranded links — see how property websites work.
- The client portal gives every agent passwordless access to their own orders, media, invoices, and listings — no account setup, no password resets. From there they can book their next shoot, move or request a new time for an upcoming one, and turn their delivered photos into ready-to-post social images.
As your business grows, the same order data powers team management — invite photographers, assign shoots per session, set payout rates — and the analytics dashboard, which turns your orders and payments into reports on revenue, repeat clients, and delivery speed. A referral program gives new clients money off their first shoot and earns the agent who referred them account credit, and client emails can come from your own domain instead of a Spatiko address.
