Selling prints and merchandise requires you to have albums or galleries hosted at dotPhoto.com. Creating your first album serves as a destination for uploading photographs. When creating your album, you can identify the album as a public or private gallery, set passwords for specific audiences and assign keywords for enhancing our search feature.
|
| |
Upload photos to your new album
Now you?re getting close to generating some real profits. With your first album created, upload your digital photos and videos from your most recent event. Should you also use film, request film mailers from us and we?ll develop the images and load them into an album for you.
|
| |
Now that you have digital images online, select the print products and merchandise that you want to offer to your clients. Creating a custom product and price list for the first time will automatically take you through the Payment Processing sequence. Simply select Direct Deposit or Check and proceed to the price list to select products and enter your own custom prices. Upon SAVING, dotPhoto will send you an email confirming your changes were saved along with a copy of your price list. Create as many custom product and price lists as you like.
Note: Custom pricing is not established until you save your price list and turn on custom pricing.
|
| |
Assign this price list to your new album
Now that you have your price list(s), select the albums to which you want your price list to apply. Your guests will browse the albums or galleries they can access and when purchasing will be charged based on your custom price list. Do you have family photos hosted with dotPhoto? Choose not to assign a custom price list to your family albums and your family members and other guests will be charged the dotPhoto everyday, low price.
