Pricing Digital Downloads

There is a 25 cent cost of goods on downloads because we do a lot of support with end users who buy downloads. Buyers often don't understand downloading in the same way that they understand printing, and they tend to lose the download links we send, so we talk with them, and make sure that their download purchases are completed. If you sell a download for $2, there is a 3% charge for the credit card and a 25 cent cost of good deduction. You earn 85% of the remainder, or $1.44. Your proportional earnings increase as the price goes up. If you sell the download for $9.99, you earn $8.02.

Where are my digital downloads?

If you purchased digital downloads from a professional photographer who sells digital downloads on dotPhoto, we will email a download link after your payment; click on that link to receive your downloads. If you did not receive the email, you may have entered an incorrect email address or the email may be in your spam file. To receive another copy of the download link, please send an email to support@dotphoto.com with your order number, email address, or other information that will help us find your paid download order.

Why can't I buy digital downloads?

Not all photographers want to sell their original files. If your photographer does not offer to sell digital downloads, we cannot help you. Please contact the photographer directly.
