How do I use Spoak for client projects? What is a Pro project and how are client projects billed?
There are two types of projects in Spoak: personal projects and Pro projects. Pro projects have advanced settings that allow you to customize which elements of the project you want your client to be able to see or not see (like the total budget, shop links, etc). Pro projects also include approval workflows so you can send your client a design, budget, or shop list for approval.
To turn your project into a pro project, hit the settings ⚙️ icon in the bottom left of the project, you'll see a 'Pro project' toggle.
Once you turn this on, you'll then be able to update a few Pro Project-specific settings:
Client Settings:
- Show all product details - your client will see all product details including the price and purchase links to the vendor website.
- Disable purchase links - your client will see the product price, but not be able to click the purchase link to the vendor website.
- Disable purchase links and hide prices - your client will not be able to see the price of the item or the purchase link to the vendor website.
Default Things View
This determines how your client will see all of the Things (products/Vizis/Plans) in your project! You can further customize the view when Grid is selected.
Check out how to customize grid view in this FAQ about organizing using Sections!
Default Tax & Markup
If you're doing the purchasing for your client, you can set a default tax & markup so that you're not setting this value on each item you add to your shop list!
How are Pro projects billed?
Our Pro and Premium tier members have the ability to add clients to Spoak. Each membership tier includes a specific number of active Pro projects in the monthly membership fee. Extra active client projects are charged at $4.99/mo.
You'll be charged monthly for active Pro projects above your included amount. You can archive a Pro project at any time to reduce your total number of active Pro projects. Archived Pro projects can be viewed (by you and your client) but not edited. If you need to edit a project once archived, you can unarchive it and it will be added as an active Pro project.
Visit the 'Pro projects' section of your Subscription page to find out how many Pro projects are included in your membership, how many Pro projects are being used, and any extra Pro projects charges to expect on your next monthly bill.
