Hi,
I didn't find a forum that looked like a spot-on match for this question, so I figured I'd give it a go here.
So I am a professional photographer and house my site on SmugMug. I have just established a couple of day-long portrait "events", basically several mini-portrait sessions back to back. Clients will need to select a time slot and pay to reserve their slot. I am looking for a way to add these functions to a page on my SmugMug site. So, in short, I want to:
a) allow customers to see a menu of time slots available
b) pay for the time slot they select
c) Ideally, I'd like clients to do all of this on my site, or at least on a page to which they are redirected, and to which I can add a little branding so it at least feels a little like my site.
I chatted with SmugMug tech support and they said they didn't know how to achieve this, and recommended I ask in DGrin. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks very much!

Thanks, Teach. I created and added the Wufoo form easily enough. PayPal, however, isn't as accommodating.
The problem: Clients have one required purchase to make (the session/sitting fee). They also have the option of making one or more of a few additional purchases (high res files, prints, additional photographs). In short, there is one required purchase and a few optional purchases.
PayPal's button-creation tool does not have the ability to accommodate this pricing structure. It does enable you to add a drop-down menu below the primary purchase option (the sitting fee, in this case), but the drop-down menu forces the purchaser to choose one option from among the list of those available, but does not allow them the ability to select 2 or more of the options (without having to go back, reload and purchase each separately. Not a very good selling tool
Are you aware of any other way I can set this up on a page within my SmugMug site, so clients can select all of the options they want (ideally on one screen) and then proceed to check-out and pay once:
☐ Portrait Session Fee $XX (required purchase)
Additional Options
☐ High Resolution Digital Files $XX
☐ Set of 5x7 Prints $XX
☐ 5 Additional Photographs $XX
CHECKOUT
Thank you!
