In Client Gallery, you can enable Email Registration in any collection. When this setting is active in a collection, every visitor will be required to enter their email address before they can access the photos. All collected addresses are stored within your dashboard where you can view and export them.

Note: Email registration is not a security feature. For dedicated ways to protect your collection photos, see our guide here.

Setting up email registration in a collection

To enable email registration in your collection:

1. Open your collection.
2. Go to Settings > General.
3. Turn on Email Registration.

Tip: Want to enable Email Registration across multiple collections at once? You can do so with the Bulk Edit feature.

Enabling email registrations by default

If you want every collection you create to collect email addresses, you can set this up with a collection preset. A preset can also include preferences across other collection settings including privacy, design, store options, download limits, and more.

To create a preset with email registration enabled:

1. Go to Client Gallery Dashboard > Settings > Presets.
2. Click +Add Preset, and give your new preset a name.
3. Under General, turn on Email Registration.
4. When you’re finished adjusting your settings, click Save.

Client experience

When email registration is active in a collection, visitors will be prompted to enter an email address before they can view the photos within.

Note: If your collection has a password assigned, this field will also appear underneath.

Reviewing email registrations

From the dashboard, you can view and export registered email addresses on a per collection basis:

1. Open the collection.
2. Go to Activities > Email Registration.
3. Click Export to download a CSV of the email addresses, or ••• next to any email address to remove it from the list.

Adding a marketing opt-in to email registration

You can add a marketing opt-in checkbox during registration so visitors can consent to email campaigns. To set this up:

1. Go to Marketing > Settings.
2. Under Gallery Marketing Opt-in, turn on Email registration.
3. In the collection’s settings, confirm Email Registration is enabled.

Once enabled in a collection, visitors will see a checkbox under the email field where they can opt in to receive marketing emails. Marketing consent is optional and not required to access the collection.

Note: Enabling marketing opt-in for email registrations will apply only to new registrants going forward.
