Connect SnapShield to Your Captura Shopping Cart

Protect the value of every image you create. SnapShield adds an extra layer of protection to your online proofing experience, helping discourage screenshotting and sharing before images are purchased.

This article explains what SnapShield does and how to connect it to your Captura Workflow account.

Your images are your intellectual property. Every proof represents time, talent, and revenue potential for your studio.

SnapShield helps protect subject images in supported areas of your Captura Shop by deterring unauthorized screen capture and making protected images harder to copy before purchase. Customers can still browse, select, and buy photos as usual.

1. Email support@getsnapshield.com to request a SnapShield account.

2. Sign up for your SnapShield account using the instructions they provide.

3. Sign up for a Captura account (if you do not already have one).

4. In Captura Workflow, open Preferences and go to Shopping Cart.

5. Paste your SnapShield Shop Key into the SnapShield Shop Key field.

6. Select Update to save.

   

Once the key is saved, SnapShield protection is enabled for your shopping cart. You can customize the SnapShield experience in the SnapShield admin console.

When SnapShield is connected, you and your customers may notice:

• Screenshot protection on desktop and iOS — Protected images black out when supported screen-capture activity is detected. Together, desktop and iOS account for the majority of Shop traffic.

• Right-click protection — Right-clicking a protected image triggers a protection message.

• The same shopping experience — Customers can continue browsing, selecting, and purchasing photos as usual.

• No lockout — Buyers will not lose access to their gallery.

• A “Protected Content” message when returning to the browser — Photos may be hidden while the customer is away, with a Continue Shopping option to return.

SnapShield protects subject images in supported areas of your Shop, including:

• My Photos

• Product and package configuration

Protection does not apply to:

• Pre-order galleries

• Side cart

• Cart summary

• Checkout

• iOS: Blackout protection is available.

• Android: Protection includes long-press disablement and reporting.

SnapShield is designed to deter unauthorized screen capture and make it more difficult to capture protected images. Like any screenshot-protection technology, it is an additional layer of protection—not a guarantee against every possible method of capturing an image.

SnapShield provides reporting so you can see visibility into capture attempts and related activity. After your SnapShield account is set up, use the SnapShield admin console to review activity and customize your protection experience.

If you need help with your SnapShield login or account setup, contact support@getsnapshield.com and include your Workflow Account ID.
