November 01, 2025 417. WGAN-TV | Edit, Deliver and Get Paid through Fotello: Enhanced Delivery and Payment Link with White Label Option
www.WGAN.info/fotello
In this episode of WGAN-TV, Dan Smigrod welcomes back Fotello Co-Founder Harman Walia to showcase Fotello’s newest enhancements that simplify how real estate media professionals edit, deliver, and get paid for their work. Harman explains how Fotello’s mission remains focused on helping photographers deliver their best work while saving money — a guiding principle for every product decision the company makes.
Key Highlights
1. Twilight Photo Editing
Harman introduces the upgraded Twilight AI feature, which allows creators to convert daytime images into natural, realistic twilight scenes in just one click. The AI maintains architectural accuracy — nothing inside or outside the property is altered — ensuring ethical photo representation for real estate listings.
2. Unified Delivery Platform
Fotello now enables users to deliver all digital assets—photos, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans—through one link. Real estate agents can preview, download, and even request revisions directly from the portal, reducing back-and-forth communication.
3. White-Label Sub-Domain
For professionals seeking a fully branded experience, Fotello offers a white-label sub-domain option that removes all Fotello branding from delivery pages and emails. This feature allows photographers to present the portal as their own—ideal for brand consistency and client trust.
4. Integrated Payments
The newly launched Fotello Payments integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing photographers to collect payments directly without additional Fotello transaction fees. Funds are deposited daily, and all payout data can be viewed and exported from a single dashboard.
5. Instant and Same-Day Delivery
Harman shares how some users have installed Starlink internet in their vehicles to enable instant delivery of photos right after shoots. This capability allows creators to offer same-day or even immediate turnaround—either as a premium service or as a competitive differentiator.
6. Onboarding and Support
Fotello has streamlined its onboarding to remove previous friction points. New users can sign up directly via WGAN’s affiliate link for 25 free listings, with optional one-on-one support for setup, domain configuration, and client migration.

Together, they conduct a hands-on “asset review” of a real property scan — 330 Sussex Circle in Vacaville, California — to evaluate every deliverable that the Giraffe360 platform automatically produces: 3D virtual tours, HDR photos, detailed floor plans, and a short-form marketing video.

Mike shares his first impressions of the visual quality, accuracy, and workflow efficiency, while Tom explains how the all-in-one system streamlines production for REALTORS and media professionals. Their discussion highlights how the Giraffe PRO Camera eliminates the need for multiple vendors, reduces turnaround time to as little as 24 hours, and provides consistent, professional results across every listing.

Key takeaways include

► The ability to create complete marketing packages from a single scan session.
► How Giraffe360’s automated HDR and floor plan generation save hours of post-production time.
► The marketing value of pairing 3D virtual tours with accurate measurements and auto-generated videos.
► The business advantage of offering same-day or next-day delivery to clients.

By the end of this WGAN-TV Podcast episode, viewers will understand how Giraffe360 enables REALTORS and real estate media professionals to elevate their listings, build brand consistency, and deliver faster results — all while simplifying their workflow.
