Greeting card sales 2019

paullantz

I got an email from smugmug last week telling me about the reintroduction of greeting cards and how to enable them. I followed the instructions but do not see how to order them. Is it done through the buy photos menus or somewhere else?

I just set "create cards" on my site (temporarily) to see how it works.

Once you edit your pricelist, check the box next to Offer Greeting Cards and save the pricelist the option to create cards is added to the photos in that pricelist. You will see it when you select "buy photos" on your site. It is visible both when logged in and to your visitors (if you offer items for sale).

This is what the option looks like once it is enabled:

On the next page I see:

There are 4 groupings of cards offered: Holidays, New Years, Christmas, Hannukah.
All groupings offer variations of 5x7 flat cards.

It is a little weird that you can only see the option to create cards in lightbox view but not under the regular BUY button...

That feature is available for the top two(?) subscription levels.

I noticed that too. If I click buy from the lightbox then I see the create card option (when I had it enabled on my site that is, it's disabled now). But if I click buy from the gallery the option is missing.

Looks like they don't offer folding cards anymore. They are all flat.

Allen, You are correct. At this time cards are only lay flat.

I have the top level. That wasn't really my question... There are two places for customers to hit "buy" but only one of them shows the card option.

Hi Jason and Allyson,

Our team has rolled out an update and now clicking the BUY PHOTOS button in the gallery will also open the commerce lightbox so, cards will now appear even when not accessing the the buy button from the lightbox directly.

Best Regards,
