Migrate from ShootProof
Move from ShootProof to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off ShootProof should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your studio management tool data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while ShootProof keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
ShootProof's strength is client-facing delivery: photo galleries, proofing and an integrated print store with photo-lab fulfilment, with invoicing and contracts added alongside. It sits closer to gallery delivery and print sales than to a full studio CRM, which is exactly why the migration is unusual. You typically KEEP ShootProof (or a delivery tool) for the galleries and only move the business layer, because a gallery-first tool's invoicing and tax handling is thin once you sell retail products beyond prints, carry real stock, or need proper VAT accounts.
The safe way to leave ShootProof
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of ShootProof that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull clients, shoots, galleries, contracts and invoices out of ShootProof in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your studio management tool data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line ShootProof up against PeakSpitz: clients, shoots, galleries, contracts and invoices become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside ShootProof is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what ShootProof shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep ShootProof live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your ShootProof export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving ShootProof
- ⚠
Galleries and original images do not migrate and do not need to; they live in ShootProof's storage. Point PeakSpitz at the business records only.
- ⚠
Print-store and lab-fulfilment integrations are re-established, not imported. If you keep selling prints through the lab, that pipeline typically stays in the delivery tool while PeakSpitz owns retail commerce, accounting and VAT.
- ⚠
Contract and price-sheet templates are re-created; historical paid orders and signed contracts commonly archive read-only rather than transfer.
- ⚠
Download and gallery links already shared with clients keep pointing at ShootProof, so do not cut it off before galleries have expired or been re-delivered.
Common questions about leaving ShootProof
Do I have to stop using ShootProof for galleries?
No, and you probably should not. ShootProof's gallery and proofing delivery is its strength, so keep it. PeakSpitz replaces the business layer around it: storefront, inventory, real accounting with VAT and payments in one system.
Can PeakSpitz sell prints like the ShootProof store?
PeakSpitz has a built-in storefront and inventory for selling products, but it does not include photo-lab print fulfilment; that stays with your delivery tool. Use PeakSpitz for general retail and the accounting behind every sale.
What about my sales and tax records from the print store?
Export historical orders for your records. Going forward every sale flows into PeakSpitz's real books with VAT, instead of a store report you reconcile by hand.
