How do I set up the TemplatesBooth integration?

With TemplatesBooth connected, clients pick a photo booth template on their booking and personalize it themselves. The finished design is saved to the booking as approved artwork.

Each widget you build in TemplatesBooth can be added to Check Cherry as its own design collection. That lets you offer strips on one package and 360 overlays on another.

Before you start

  • An active TemplatesBooth membership with at least one widget.
  • A Check Cherry admin login. Staff logins can't connect integrations.

Connect TemplatesBooth

Manage → Business Settings → Integrations
Go to Integrations, find TemplatesBooth and click Connect.
Click Connect TemplatesBooth. Your TemplatesBooth Widget dashboard opens.
In TemplatesBooth, open Integrations and click Activate Check Cherry.
Review the permissions and click Authorize TemplatesBooth.
You return to TemplatesBooth, where Check Cherry shows as Active.
The Integrations tab of the TemplatesBooth Widget dashboard with the Activate Check Cherry button
Activate Check Cherry in the TemplatesBooth Widget dashboard.
Check Cherry shown as Active in TemplatesBooth, with the Default widget dropdown and the Disconnect button
Once connected, choose your default widget in TemplatesBooth.

Add your widgets as design collections

Clients don't see anything until you add a widget as a design collection.

Manage → Design Collections
Go to Design Collections.
Click New Design Collection, then Add from TemplatesBooth Collections. Each of your widgets has its own card.
Click Preview to see the widget's templates.
Click Import Collection, name the collection and click Import.
Repeat for each widget you want to offer.

Show the right widget for each package

A new collection is offered on every package. If you have a widget for each product, limit each collection to the packages it fits.

On Design Collections, open the collection's menu and click Settings.
Under Enabled for Packages, choose the packages for this collection.
Save your changes.

To tie a collection to an add-on, see How do I show design templates when a specific add-on is booked?

What your clients see

The widget opens on the Designs tab of the booking.

The client chooses a template and, if your widget allows editing, personalizes it in the TemplatesBooth editor. Their name, email, phone and event date are filled in from the booking.

Client details come from the booking.

The choice is saved to the booking with the template name, a preview, the text they added and a link to the print files. A personalized design is marked Final Artwork Approved. If the client chooses again, the new design replaces the earlier one.

Editing is a setting on each widget in TemplatesBooth. With editing off, the booking shows the template the client chose and you finish the artwork.

Switching from TemplatesBooth (Deprecated)

TemplatesBooth (Deprecated) is the earlier integration. It uses a pasted API key and has no editor. Its collections don't carry over, so connect TemplatesBooth and add your collections again.

Connect TemplatesBooth and import your widgets, following the steps above.
Set Enabled for Packages on each new collection to match your old ones.
Open a test booking and check the widget appears on the Designs tab.
Go back to Integrations and disable TemplatesBooth (Deprecated).
Disabling the deprecated integration removes its design collections. Bookings that already have a design keep it. Add the new collections first.

Disconnecting

In Check Cherry, open Integrations, click Configure on TemplatesBooth and choose Disconnect. In TemplatesBooth, click Disconnect on the Integrations tab. Either one works.

TemplatesBooth loses access to your account and new choices stop coming through. Designs already on bookings stay. See What will happen if I disconnect a template provider integration?

Troubleshooting

A widget is missing from the list

Paused widgets aren't listed. Unpause the widget in TemplatesBooth, then reload the page in Check Cherry.

Clients see a "Members only" notice

Your TemplatesBooth membership has lapsed. Renew it and the widget comes back. You don't need to reconnect.

Connecting a second TemplatesBooth account disconnected the first

One Check Cherry account connects to one TemplatesBooth account. Connecting a different one replaces the first.
