Thinking about a transfer... to Smugmug

Hello everyone in the wonderful world of Smugmug. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a current Pictage Pro account holder. Yes, yes I am the enemy.
I have just begun my 14 day trial of Smugmug in hopes of finding a most cost-effective, client friendly way of doing all things Pictage-y. Thus far, I like the statistics trackers and vastly cheaper at-cost for prints. As well as the option for me to offer several other products.
I do have a few questions that perhaps some seasoned smugmug pros can help clear up for me:
--Are the color corrections added after uploading, so the images are viewed with the adjustments they will have during printing, or are they only pre-press?
--After I edit my site, will my clients be able to tell the photos are hosted by Smugmug?
--What are the average prices for prints photographers are charging here on Smugmug? on Pictage I charge $8 for 4x6 which they charge $2 for, however smugmug take a larger percentage... and they are very public with their print prices.
--Any album design/binding affiliates?
--Does smugmug offer credit card processing for services? Wedding retainers/payments?
--Are there ever any promotions?
--Can I name event owners, guest lists? or is all the marketing in my hands?
Thank you for answering ahead of time. I look forward to possibly becoming a part of your community

No, but it's dead-simple to add google checkout or paypal. See my site, here:

But, Smugmug does handle payment for images bought through the "Buy this photo" click in member galleries without the member setting up anything, correct?
