Printing own photos?

Bkodger · November 26, 2014

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not. I am considering taking another step in my photography and upgrading my account to allow purchases from online. I currently do small side work and wanting to have that option.

I have read through a lot, and seen that when purchasing prints there are 4 businesses that do the prints. However, I have a Canon Pro-100 and have been doing prints for my other shoots in house and been happy with the quality (and customers were as well). Is there a way to take orders online that I would give me the option of still doing the prints, while giving the option of other products to the customer. Things like the wraps, mouse pad, etc?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Bkodger,

We don't have an option for self-fulfillment or for using the SmugMug cart to print using a lab outside our four.

If you wanted to do the printing yourself, you'd need to offer customers a way to buy from you directly, outside of our SmugMug cart.

If you need anything else, please let us know.

Why has it gone so long without being addressed at all if it's one of smug mug's most requested features and has been for quite some time?

Zenfolio offers it. They charge 6%.

I think a few of the most requested features are in a similar situation... Page templates anyone?

Self-fulfillment is something we keep hearing from our customers over and over and we're listening and hear your frustrations. An implementation of self-fulfillment needs to be a great experience for both you and your clients and needs to integrate seamlessly into the commerce features that we already offer. We've got some great things in the pipeline and we want to make sure that we give you great tools for you to do this.

Page templates is another feature we know we need to add. Unfortunately I cannot comment on when this will be available (and for the record, I hate having to say that).
