martin_alston Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 What online lab is your favorite? I couldn't find any recent posts about this so I'm starting a new thread. I will be doing 2-3 weddings a month and am looking for an online service for my clients to view and purchase prints. I'm also not sure of how it works on getting paid for prints you sell. Do most let their clients buy online or just assign a certain number of prints the client will recieve and handle it themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylarcombe Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Martin, I use SMUGMUG which has unlimited photo uploads, they print and ship the photo orders and take a small percentage cut. You set your own prices per photo, or per event, and you can also customise the site to look like your current website, if you have one. I have no complaints. Tony.

gerald_donnelly Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have been using eventpix.com. They will either charge per upload or bythe month. They email the orders to them & I fill the orders with my own lab-I fel I have more control that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron_lee___minneapolis__m Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 This has been asked about 3 times in the last 2-3 weeks. I also vote for Smugmug.com It's extremely powerful, the developers of the site are geniuses, it's easy for customers, and very affordable. They only take the commission on the PROFIT of the sale, not the wholesale cost and shipping chargest. If you sign up, use this coupon code: 9OOfBzboPLkjY You get $5 off if you stay after your 7 day trail. I posted a VERY lengthy post about them about a week ago. do a search.

tara mauldin Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi, I use Bullock Professional Color, in NC. They make terrific prints, very reasonable print prices, and have a free ecommerce site link, but do charge a one time set up fee of $95. That's who I will be going with as soon as my site is up. Hope this helps! www.bullockpro.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_nelson___atlanta__ga Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Wow Tony, you did a great job customizing the SmugMug web site, very nice. I too recommend SmugMug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annealmasy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I use SimplePhoto (www.simplephoto.com) for both my website and my online proofing/ ordering. It's extremely customizable. They're connected to lab services for hands-off fulfillment, or you can use your own lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsipe Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Exposure Manager-- they charge less to set up, you can upload thumbs and it will prompt for uploading high-res photo when it's ordered. Good and lots of storage room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genex Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If anyone is interested in trying out our new system (<a href="http://pro.orangeexposure.com">Orange Exposure</a>), we're looking for a few people to use the system for free now while we tweak out the last few bits of functionality. There is customization and a lot of the other standard features - just email me and I can show it to you. Thanks! gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
