Digital order management
Orders are submitted from the gallery and stored in the backend. The admin panel tracks order status updates and keeps the workflow visible for the business owner.
Reviews and customer trust
Completed orders can trigger a review email with a link to a submission page. Approved reviews are published on the public reviews page after moderation.
