Selling Pictures from a Website

<p>Hello<br>

I am in the process of learning how to create a nice webpage for an upcoming photography side-business of mine. I want to be able to display several pictures and allow people to buy them from the website just like they would buy something from Amazon or some other website. But I dont know how to set this up. I would welcome any ideas you all have of the best way to do this. I've heard from some people to get paypal set up, but just thought i would ask others to see what yall do. Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I use<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.photoreflect.com/" target="_blank"> photoreflect</a>. there is no up front charge but they do take a 18% E-commerce fee on what you sell. you you can see my site at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.paf3photography.com/" target="_blank">www.paf3photography.com</a> and click on the galleries tab and then events.While I'm not a full time professional photographer the money I make goes toward equipment upgrades etc.</p>

I use Photium for my photo website. They are very easy to work with and a shopping cart is part of the package. If you have less than 300 photos, it will cost you about $15 a month with no hidden fees or charges. I've been very happy with them. They have a 30 day free trail.</p>

<p>I sell photos through <a href="http://www.photoswarm.com">Photoswarm</a>. It's tied into paypal and there's no commission. Very easy to setup too.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your input. I will check them all out. Take care</p>

<p>Mr Jennings, if you part-own a company and recommend it in a forum, it's only polite to disclose the fact that you work for it, to avoid misleading others. Apologies if I am wrong, but there does seem to be a "Will Jennings" that works for Photoswarm.com.</p>

<p>Hi Glenn,<br>

I'm a web designer/developer by trade, and I'm pretty confident in saying that to a certain extent you will get what you pay for when it comes to a website. However, since you're doing your photography as a side business to start off with, you probably want something that is cost effective to start off with. Wix seems to be a good way to start: <a href="http://www.wix.com/photographer/Website">http://www.wix.com/photographer/Website</a>.<br>

In terms of selling photos, I've developed some software called <a href="http://www.photographyorders.com">Photography Orders</a>, which is a photography shopping cart and allows you to sell your photos online. Well worth checking it out if that's what you're looking for.<br>

Hope it helps!<br>

Cheers,<br>
