Check Print Sales?

peestandingup · January 4, 2006

I dont charge any $ for my prints, so is it possible to see when someone orders prints from my site as well as exactly what prints they ordered, size, etc?

I suppose a slight workaround would be to charge like $0.01 for every print, then I could check my profits in the Pro section, but that would only give me limited info. Is that right? Thanks.

Exactly - it's the only way to do it. More in my SmugBlog:

Hope this helps!

All the best,

Andy,

Is there a way, other than manually going through every photo to verify that photos have been priced. I have set my portfolio pricing but I have some indications that not all of my photos are getting priced. It would be really nice to be able to do a report to verify.

I am sure Andy may have a better answer, but for this I would logout (clear cookies) and browse as an user without login and pretend to buy pictures. This will show me the final price.

Thanks,

There is not a report. Portfolio pricing works as intended though. Any gallery for which you have NOT set pricing for the gallery, the portfolio pricing will default. The BEST way to check is to have a second browser (we LOVE Firefox) and be LOGGED OUT always on that browser. You can easily see how your site looks and acts to visitors and customers that way

On this topic Andy, if I now go and set portfolio pricing to 1 cent above, will it change my current galleries that I have already marked up?

No, it will not change them.
