The RTV programming team has been working overtime here to fulfill our vision of making our already robust virtual tour software system into a turnkey real estate photography system. The items below have been implemented over the last three months and we’re not slowing down. Soon we’ll be laying in the customer storefront so your clients can place orders directly off your website and off of your gorgeous Delivery Sites!
Please review the updates below and be sure to attend our next webinar. You can register for the live event here on our website – https://www.realtourvision.com/webinar-information For a video summary of the below updates please review our video below.
Fusion Manager Updates
August 2021
• Convert a Project to an Order – Now you can easily create a project just like you have been used to and instantly associate an order with that project. This is very handy for those of you that are starting to use our all-new payment system and Delivery Site!
• Default Package Images – If you’re like us, you don’t have time to create icons for all of your service offerings. That’s why RTV made ready-to-go icons for you! We literally thought of everything from photography jobs, drone shoots, virtual tours, client headshots, and even sign installation! If we’re missing an icon for you, just let us know!
• Seven Photo Transitions Added – We’re very excited to announce our all-new and unique photo image transitions that you can check out the next time you create a project. There are several dissolve options as well as fade and portal. Check it out and let your images stand out with your business!
• Flyer Generation on Delivery Site – We’re gearing up for the implementation of our Edge Marketing Center with all new printable flyers, social media cards, improved videos and more. The first logical step was to give you the ability to have your customers start generating their own flyers from our new Delivery Site. Teach your customers to regenerate their own flyers after price changes!
• Square Payment Gateway Ready – Yes that’s right! We now support the popular payment collection service Square as one of many options.
• New Edge Marketing Designs – As many of you know, we’ve been talking a lot about what will come after our Scheduling and Payment collection system goes live. Our new Edge Marketing Center will house dozens of Automated Marketing Pieces. Just give your customers access and they’ll be able to design away. You’ll still be able to do the process for them of course.
July 2021
• PayPal Payment Gateway Ready – Calling all PayPal fans! We’re ready for you to set up PayPal as your default payment gateway!
• Delivery Site Token Improvements – We added several security updates to our popular Delivery Site tokens. Now you can quickly choose how long you would like your token to last. We’ve given you several options between one month to a year before the token automatically expires. Our default is six, which is the average national listing contract length.
• Packages & Add-Ons Setup – Woot Woot! This was a huge milestone for RTV. We have officially launched our Packages & Add-Ons setup area where you can create your packages and add-ons, getting you ready for payment collection and job scheduling. Get in there and start setting up your packages so you can start collecting payment upon delivery!
• Delivery Site Redesign – Yes, it’s Delivery Site 2.0 already and we think both you AND your customer will love it. These updates have greatly simplified our original inception of the Delivery Site. Your clients will find it easier than ever to utilize. Make sure you download our “Delivery Site Client Training Video”. Not using Delivery Site yet? You should be!! It’s much more advanced than sending your customer an email full of links.
June 2021
• Aspect Ratio & Media Setup Area – Many of you have been asking for this for a VERY long time! Our new Aspect Ratio and Media Setup Area allows you to choose how your images are displayed on your property sites, customer galleries, virtual tours, delivery sites, and your gallery. Try out our all-new “Keep Aspect Ratio” setting, which will always display your entire photo during the virtual tour playback and show your full photo on the property sites versus placing your image into a 1 x 1 square. We highly recommend playing around with different settings and pick one that you like best. BlueLaVaMedia (Leading Traverse City Real Estate Photography Service) is still using “Fill Container” for virtual tours and “Keep Aspect Ratio” for all thumbnails.
• AutoComplete Property Address – We’ve talked about auto-completing property addresses for many years now, and we were finally in the code at the right place and time to implement it. Just start typing in the property address from anywhere in the world and our system will take a guess at where you’re at and start completing the property address for you. So far it’s been spot on and very handy! We hope you like this nifty time-saver. It all adds up!
• Stripe Payment Gateway Ready – It’s official we’re live with our first ever payment gateway allowing you to start taking payments directly from the Fusion system to your bank account! Stripe is the most popular payment gateway for photographers and one of the most reliable, trustworthy, and easy to use. That’s why we decided to set it up first. When we’re done we will offer Stripe, PayPal, Quickbooks, and Square.
Tour Player Updates
Keep Aspect Ratio on Tour – Our virtual tour is now capable of displaying ALL of your photo (both horizontals and verticals) without cropping a bit off the top and the bottom during the default 16 X 9 playback. Feel free to experiment with our new Display Setting located in the “Media” section of your global settings area.
Property Website Updates
Keep Aspect Ratio in Gallery – Your property websites now look better than ever with our new Aspect Ratio update! Visit your “Media” section in your global settings and switch “Thumbnail Size” to “Keep Same Aspect Ratio as Original” Your FULL photos will nicely stack on top of each other in the gallery area.

Enjoy the updates and thank you for your business, trust, and support!
