I stumbled across pay link last night by accident when I was trying to assist a client that could not get access to the pay invoice page. I sent him a link and it worked like a charm. Now I cannot find it and the help page about how to create one is not clear about where to go once you are inside of the client's project page to create one for them. Can someone please help with a clear step by step??

Is anyone else having issues in brochures? I can not type without refreshing the page anytime I add something because it starts glitching and flashing the text I just added.  I am using Google Chrome.

HoneyBook Team, I am begging you all to stop updating the Payments Reports format without a change log. Every single month a new column is added, deleted, or renamed and it's been seriously messing with our bookkeeping. I have to play sleuth to find out what's been changed and reformat our entire year's spreadsheets

I have a contract template where I want multiple people to be able to initial certain sections, and sign the agreement. I can’t get it to work the way I would expect (require initials and signature for 1st signer, and require initials and signature for 2nd signer.) I reached out to support and was sent the below process. Apparently I will need to intercept the contract after it is signed by the first signer, make modifications to it, and then add the 2nd participant to the project and separately send it to them for signature. There doesn’t appear to be a way to make an initials block required for the specific participant - if it’s marked required it has to be completed by the first signer. I was wondering if anyone has a better approach for this? BTW, Docusign could do this but I don’t want to use Docusign. From HB support:To have the first client initial and sign before the second client on an agreement template in HoneyBook, you should follow these steps:Scroll to the bottom of the c

Hi friends!I’m in love with the new Gallery feature.When sending the final gallery to a client I would love to see an option to add clients to the email without adding them to the project!For example, in Pictime, when you share your gallery there is a section to add “main clients” to the account.  The email sends off the gallery to the emails and on the back end you can decide if main clients are allowed to download or anyone who has the link. It’s like a completely separate area to any client info being shared (I hope I’m explaining this correctly).I’m finding if I add an additional email to the “your gallery is ready!” email then that person is added to the full project.  This means they has access too all previous info sent. NOT COOL :(This is the only downfall I’m seeing within the new feature & would love to see updates to this sooner than later as it is a privacy factorThanks so much!-N

Hi!  I am looking to launch honeybook in our small events company but my accountant has reservations about integrating HB with Quickbooks.  Is anyone an expert on this?  I would love to schedule a phone call to ask some questions!! thsnk you!teri

Hello all,Not sure if this has been anyone else’s experience or just mine. I’ve been a HoneyBook user for my business for the last 5 years and I have to say thus far, it’s been pretty great. Streamlined and organized, and this is my first post for a reason. But the new update/AI integration with Services on the Smart Files/Invoices has been a nightmare thus far.I work as an event decorator but a lot of the stuff we do while customized, is of a similar category so it is usually pretty helpful to be able to type “Entry Sign” when creating a new item on the invoice and see all previous kinds of entry signs I’ve created for other clients, how I described them, and how I priced them and just choose from there. Same with “Rentals” or “Candles” for example. But when the new update came in, I went in and made sure to migrate everything as the little banners prompted me to do, but still when I search things up, I know so many things are missing from the years I’ve been creating line items.

In the past week and a half, I've had two separate fraud attempts on my HoneyBook Balance debit card. I don't use this card for shopping or transactions at all, I only have it because it's the only way to transfer money out to my actual business bank account. So imagine my surprise getting texts like this out of nowhere:"CVV verification failed for the HoneyBook debit card ending 4584. Please try again."The second alert (today) was for the NEW card number I was issued and a much larger attempted transaction.When I contacted support, I was told this is an industry-wide issue where fraudsters use automated tools to guess and test card numbers, and that it's not a breach of HoneyBook's systems. They confirmed both times that the transactions were blocked before going through, which is good.... But the second time around the same thing happening again... left a bad taste…  A few things I wish I'd known / things that might help others:The texts from +1 (415) 463-1453 are legitimate HoneyBoo

In Australia by law we are required to show pricing including GST, but on my lead form where I display service options for client to choose from, it's only showing the ex-gst price. If I change that price to include gst, then when the invoice is created it will add GST a second time, as the invoice needs to display the GST componenet.We really need (by law) to be able to display the GST inclusive price when showing price of goods and services.Can you please update the pricing field to be the total incl. GST or show Price breakdown before the invoice stage. I can’t use the forms as is. Thank you!

I’m incredibly upset that HB has decided to sunset a key piece of the tool & picked a random date in Sept vs. waiting until the end of the year to do so. it is really frustrating that they did not reach out to heavy users of this feature to let them know in advance. the support chats have been filled with the same info as the banner (e.g. use another tool that you have to pay for to do the same job this included feature did) i have a large government contract that requires the invoices in a certain format - which are fed by the entries i put into time tracker & then create an invoice from them. this change will now mean that my invoices will be out of compliance. will anyone else experience something similar (e.g. a change in their business process) due to this change? 

So the membership increase when I started back in 2023 was somewhere around $188 and now has jumped up to $588. This is wild! Like I never asked for AI assist to be a part of my daily operations and yet I am paying for all these tools I never asked for or need. My proposal is that there be two different tiers. One with AI assist for those who would like it as part of their operations, and one tier without the AI assist, as not everyone running a business needs that.  To the community, what are your thoughts?

I just logged into HoneyBook today and noticed they’ve added galleries, and I’m really curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!I’ve been using ShootProof for over 10 years as a photographer, and I currently use it for both gallery delivery and long-term archiving. I love how easy it is to set up a gallery and quickly send it off to a client, so I’m wondering how HoneyBook’s galleries compare.A few questions I have: Is the gallery feature included with the current HoneyBook membership, or is there an additional fee? Are galleries able to be archived long-term, or is this more designed for smaller projects and quick delivery? How does the client experience compare to ShootProof? I actually already sent a gallery out through HoneyBook today, and I have to say the convenience of having everything in one place is really appealing. I’d love to hear from photographers who have tested it out!

When we “Create draft email” via an Automation, we cannot include a Smart File and still be able to edit the email. It seems we instead would have to manually draft each email and attach the Smart File, and thus can’t use an Automation. Are there workarounds to this? Thanks!

I’m a bridal hair and makeup service company - I want to add a team member to a project so I can clearly see who’s assigned to it, but not allow them to have access to it. It’s essentially just adding their name as another header when looking at the project overview, so I don’t have to click on each project and look at the notes to see which artist is assigned to the booking. Is there any way to do this???

Ran into an unexpected limitation today and I wanted to flag in case others have hit it too.I have a session type with "Clients can reschedule" and "Clients can cancel" both toggled ON. When a client books it themselves through my scheduler link, it works exactly as expected. Reschedule and cancel links show up in the confirmation and reminder emails.But when I manually schedule a session from within HoneyBook (picking that same session type for a specific client), the resulting calendar item doesn't get those permissions. The reminder email still includes the line about rescheduling or canceling "using the link below," but there's no link.There's also no option in the manual scheduling flow to turn reschedule/cancel on for that individual session. It just defaults to off with no way to change it at creation.This ended up confusing a client, who got a reminder email referencing a reschedule link that didn't exist.Has anyone else run into this? Is this expected behavior, or a bug? Would

I have searched the knowledge base and cannot find the answer to this.  We now have the integrated SMS text feature within our honeybook project portal but I am unable to add the SMS Consent checkbox to the phone number smart field area on my initial contact inquiry form. What am I Missing?Help!

Hello! Been using the Floorplan feature, and wondering if there is a way to rotate tables or other items?

Is it normal to have a significant delay to use new custom fields? To link a revised smart field into a Template, we’re consistently finding it takes about 3-5 minutes after we save changes and refresh the page before we can access and Link.Wondering if this is typical? Or maybe something I’m missing that I could fix?Thanks so much!kate

It used to be so convenient. I could log time as I went and then select all the time and create an invoice with it. Now I have to create projects and track time in two separate platforms. It’s going to take me twice as long to create invoices. 

I’m excited Honeybook rolled out gallery feature. I’d love to see it support downloading the entire gallery for my clients sake. As a wedding photographer, my clients can’t download individual images. 

Hello,Is anyone able to provide guidance regarding the calendar? Why when I make a project for a certain date and have received a deposit and a signed contract, it doesn’t show up directly on the calendar?

When I check off a task in my client portal, I have to scroll ALL the way back down to the middle of the page to click the approval button. PLEASE FIX THIS.

Hey HoneyBook team,I know this has been discussed many times, but I’m going to bring it up again!Currently, when a client submits an inquiry through an embedded HoneyBook lead form, the confirmation redirect and any tracking pixels only fire after the client clicks the "Done" button on the confirmation screen. In practice, a significant portion of clients close the tab or navigate away after seeing "thanks, we got your message" without ever clicking Done.This creates a real problem for anyone running Google Ads, Meta Ads, or GA4 conversion tracking. The conversion event never fires, so Google Ads has no signal about which clicks turned into leads, which means the campaign can't optimize for conversions at all.I confirmed with HoneyBook support that the only current workaround is to use the "Lead form submitted" automation trigger to send an email and track that as a conversion proxy. That works, but it's tracking email sends instead of actual form submissions, which is roundabout and l

How do I create SOME ITEMS to be recurring and others to be one-time fees on my invoice?
