How do I move my photo booth bookings and client gallery links to a buyer?
Make one list of future bookings and another of live gallery links. For each booking, note the date, the deposit and what was promised. For each gallery, confirm who hosts it and how long customers expect access. Then agree with the buyer who takes over each one and when.
Bookings come first. Export the calendar and list each event with the client, the date, the package, the deposit received and any special requests. Check that nothing in your agreements with clients prevents handing the booking to another owner, and tell the buyer about deposits you hold, since they will be doing the work.
Galleries need their own plan. Customers expect to open their link months or years later. Find out where the files sit, who pays for the storage, who holds the login and what you told customers about how long the links would last. Moving them may break old links, so test a few before and after.
Think about the customer’s side as well. Decide when and how to tell them about the change, and give a contact for questions. A short message that names the new owner and confirms the date and package tends to calm people. Finally, confirm that the guest photos and any customer data are handled in line with whatever you promised. Your lawyer can say what applies to the data.

- Keep separate lists for upcoming bookings and live gallery links.
- Find out who hosts the files and who holds the logins.
