PHOTO BOOTH SOFTWARE
Stop chasing clients for backdrop picks and deposits.
Check Cherry lets your clients choose backdrops, pick templates, accept proposals, and pay — all before you lift a finger. More bookings, less back-and-forth.
No credit card required. Easy to set up.
BACKDROP SELECTION
Clients pick their backdrop before you even talk to them.
Upload your backdrop gallery once. Clients browse, filter, and choose during booking. No more texting photos back and forth or digging through emails to find what they picked.
- Organize by category (sequins, florals, seasonal, etc.)
- Double-sided backdrops linked — book one side, both are blocked
- Lead time settings for custom or made-to-order backdrops
- Selection saved to the event — no hunting for it later
Ready to let clients choose backdrops without the back-and-forth?
TEMPLATE CHOOSER
Show off your designs. Let clients choose.
Your photo strip templates are part of the experience. Let clients browse your designs and pick the one that matches their event. It's one less decision you have to make for them.
- Upload your own or integrate with Photo Booth Talk, PB Templates, and more
- Clients choose during booking or from their portal
- Built-in design approval workflow for custom artwork
ONLINE BOOKING
Clients book 24/7. You wake up to deposits.
Check Cherry's multi-step booking is designed for photo booth businesses. Clients choose packages, add-ons, backdrops, and templates — then sign and pay. All while you sleep.
- Smooth multi-step booking flow
- Packages, add-ons, backdrops, templates — all in one
- Equipment limits prevent overbooking (only 2 360s? we'll block the third)
- Proposal accepted and deposit collected automatically
Built-in lead recovery: If someone starts booking but doesn't finish, Check Cherry saves their info as a lead and can automatically send them a follow-up email — like abandoned cart recovery, but for events.
AUTO-GENERATED CHECKLISTS
Never show up unprepared.
Check Cherry automatically builds equipment checklists based on what's booked — backdrops, props, printers, you name it. Your team knows exactly what to load before every event.
- Checklist auto-populates from packages and add-ons
- Staff sees what to pack before they leave
- Mark items as loaded — nothing gets left behind

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Check Cherry for your photo booth business.
I only do this part-time. Is Check Cherry worth it for a small operation?
Absolutely. Many of our customers start with just a few events per month. Check Cherry saves you time on every booking — sending contracts, collecting deposits, chasing backdrop selections — so you can focus on the events, not the admin. Plans start at $39/month, and most users say it pays for itself after one or two bookings.
What about larger photo booth companies? Can Check Cherry handle high volume?
Yes. We have customers processing millions of dollars in bookings per year through Check Cherry. The platform scales with you — unlimited events, multiple staff members, automated workflows, and detailed reporting. Whether you're booking 10 events a month or 100, Check Cherry keeps everything organized.
How much does Check Cherry cost?
Plans start at $39/month with both monthly and discounted annual options. Every plan includes online booking, contracts, invoicing, and payment processing. You can see all options on our pricing page . No hidden fees, no per-transaction charges from us.
How long does it take to set up?
Most photo booth owners are up and running within a day. You can import your backdrops, set up your packages, and customize your booking flow in an afternoon. Our support team is available to help if you get stuck.
How do double-sided backdrops work?
Check Cherry lets you link double-sided backdrops together. When a client books one side (say, gold sequin), the other side (silver sequin) is automatically blocked for that date. No more accidentally promising the same backdrop twice.
Can I limit how many booths I book per day?
Yes. You can set availability limits at the business level (one booking at a time) or by package (only two 360 booths, only one mirror booth, etc.). Check Cherry prevents overbooking automatically.
Can I use Check Cherry for Santa photos or corporate headshots?
Yes. Check Cherry has a mini sessions feature built for back-to-back time slots. Set your date, session length, and pricing — then share one link. Clients pick a slot, sign, and pay. Perfect for Santa photos, holiday minis, corporate headshot events, or any high-volume day.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start your free trial without a credit card and only enter payment details if you decide to keep using Check Cherry.
