Calendars from MyCanvas - any sales integration with SmugMug?

Michael Landry

I put together a 2010 calendar for my friends and family, to use as a Christmas gift. I'd also like to sell copies of my calendar to my customers. I see that SmugMug links to MyCanvas for calendar creation, but it's unclear (to me :dunno ) if we have the option to sell them as one of our products.

Before I limit myself to MyCanvas and not explore my options, can someone tell me what the process is, if there is one? Any information, about how best to use MyCanvas, or about any other print house, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael

I don't believe there is sales integration for MyCanvas, nor for many of the other companies with which SmugMug has partnered.

This is my biggest feature request. Blurb, Animoto, MyCanvas... selling their products requires the customer to perform a separate transaction through another service like Google Checkout, PayPal, etc., and requires the customer to leave their gallery page. This is not true integration, and, in my mind, it's one of SmugMug's biggest shortcomings for Pros. Once a product is designed and made through a "partner", it should be sold through the SmugMug shopping cart, and drop-shipped by the partner to the customer.

Just my two cents... but there are many others who feel the same:

I hear you on this front. We're hoping the eventual Animoto/SmugMug relationship involves being able to sell Animoto vids to your clients on SmugMug.

Glad to hear it's wanted amongst SmugMug people as well!
