Zenfolio, as Igor mentioned, prints via MPIX. And you can set the prices for profit or not. The galleries can be passworded or open. stan On May 21, 2012, at 12:09 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: If you have anything that will be on-going, you can subscribe to Shutterbug Storefront.

Re: Suggestions for online photo order-taking?
Don't forget Smugmug. About $20/month you're planning planning on setting your own prices. If all you want is a place for them to buy prints and you don't care about purchase information it's only $5/month. The annual rate is discounted but it doesn't sound like you are interested in that. If you do sign up for an annual plan you can use my email address or the address of any of the other Smugmug subscribers here and get a small discount. They will also receive a small referral fee. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 6:27 AM, Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info wrote: Zenfolio, as Igor mentioned, prints via MPIX.

Re: Suggestions for online photo order-taking?
YOu beat me to it George! It's about $150 a year for a full pro account, which, even though I am beyond broke I can manage - worth the investment - I dont sell a lot but I've certainly covered costs. Havent kept up with the fees others are paying - bay photo prints are super. they can order direct from your site and you can set the markups. You get a preview of what they are getting if you want to and there are endless sizes and several finishes to chose from. etc... and I didn't even know I'd get even brownie poitns for recommending. :-) ann annsan.smugmug.com On 5/21/2012 08:35, George Sinos wrote: Don't forget Smugmug.

Re: Suggestions for online photo order-taking?
Thanks to all for the replies. For the benefit of anyone finding this thread and asking the same question, I'll pass along a few other options that I'm considering. http://www.nextproof.com (no yearly... just a month-to-month from as low as $9/mo) If you have your own hosting: RedCart http://www.redcart.com (Since I'm a web admin and can install this on multiple platforms, I've downloaded this free version for a look-see. I'll report on my impressions. Frankly, I'm AMAZED that they allow their code to be downloaded/self-installed in this way.) Other site's that are considered similar to nextproof.com: http://www.xmarks.com/site/www.nextproof.com/ Hope this is useful to someone. I have until the middle of June to decide which platform I'm going with. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Suggestions for online photo order-taking?
Fellow PDMLers, In a previous life I was a wedding/portrait photographer. It just about kicked the love of photography completely out of me, and I've been fortunate enough to mostly avoid it since this thing called internet came around. : ) However, in June I am going to do some family reunion photography for a friend which will consist of lots of various family groupings, etc. Since these people are getting together from all over the U.S. I'd like suggestions for an online way for them to preview the images and place orders. I know that services like this exist for real professional photographers, but this is not something that I want to pay for monthly into the indefinite future. Just sort of a one-off (hopefully). Does anyone know of something that might fit the bill? Thanks in advance. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Suggestions for online photo order-taking?
Darren, I'd say you have two type of options: 1. you can have your own gallery that accepts the orders, or 2. you can have things posted to one of the photo sites that accepts orders for you. If you are planning on making money on those orders, the disadvantage of the latter one that in most cases such sites take a big cut for themselves. Zenfolio is partnered with Mpix.com that does prints. (I used Mpix for prints directly, and like them.) However, if all you want is to let people print their own photos without you profiting from that, sites like fotki.com, I believe allow that (or at least they used to.)
