Buying an Event for Someone Else, or Moving It to Another Account
Fotify has no gift option at checkout: a plan you buy goes to the account you are signed in with. You can still set up an event for a couple, a client or a friend. Pick the option below that fits.
Your Options
1. Run it together as co-organizers
Create and pay for the event on your account, then invite the other person as a Co-organizer (how to add collaborators). They sign in with their own email and run the whole event with you: photos, guests, invitation and settings. Only deleting the event stays with you.
Collaborators are included with the Professional Event plan and with every event created under a subscription. On other plans, use one of the options below.
2. Let them buy it
The simplest way for the event to be theirs from day one: send them to fotify.app to create the event and buy the plan on their own account. You can help them set it up afterwards as a collaborator.
3. Have the event moved to their account
If you already created the event, our team can move it to the other person's account. Ask through the support chat or at support@fotify.app, with the event name and the email address of the new owner (they need to have signed in to Fotify once).
When an event moves:
- Its photos, guests, invitation, settings and QR codes go with it, and the links keep working
- Collaborators keep their access, and a connected custom domain stays attached
- Your payment stays recorded on your account: nothing is refunded to you or charged to them, and your receipts stay with you
- An event created under a subscription can only move to someone with an active subscription that has room for it
Moving Credits or a Team
- Unused credits can't be moved between accounts from the dashboard. If you bought for the wrong account, contact support.
- A team can be handed over by its Owner with Transfer Ownership on the team's Members page (team subscriptions). Team events stay with the team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I buy a Fotify event as a gift? A: Not as a gift card or code. Buy the event on your account and add them as a co-organizer, or have it moved to their account by support.
Q: I paid with the wrong email. Can I move my purchase? A: Yes, through support: the event, or the unused credits, can be moved to the account you meant to use.
Q: Will my guests notice if the event changes owner? A: No. QR codes, upload links, the album and the invitation stay the same.
Q: Can I change the email of my own account instead? A: Not from the dashboard. Support can move your account to a different address; see How to sign in.
