A photographer needs a way to offer optional paid support for free photo galleries without damaging their professional reputation or appearing to nickel-and-dime clients.

Current solutions (photo-hosting sites with bank details/Ko-fi links) work for community events but aren't professional enough for commercial clients and don't seamlessly integrate optional paid support into the gallery experience.
