For vendor products, we use only the best print vendors in the industry with a proven record of quality and attention to detail. You can take advantage of our complete integration with these vendors, enabling you to track an order from the time it was placed through printing, packaging, and shipping.
Basic and Unlimited subscribers can sell their photos using base lab prices. Premium subscribers can set their own prices, create self-fulfilled products, and digital products under Selling in the main menu. Selecting Selling takes you directly to the Selling Overview.
Selling Overview
Note: This feature is exclusive to Premium account subscribers.
Selling Overview provides a quick review of your current sales information. Pending Orders shows how many orders from your website are in the process of being completed, as well as which orders may need attention to complete their processing. Summary gives you a quick look at how much you sold over the current month, including your total available price lists, products, and coupons. Shortcuts to modifying the information shown are made available.
A brief overview on Getting Started with Selling can also be found in this area. We highly suggest you read this overview if you are interesting in selling your photographs.
If you're ready to take your passion to the next level, our flexible e-commerce platform enables you to easily print your photos and sell them.
Getting Started Selling Products
If you are interested in selling self-fulfilled products, digital products, or packaging these products into groups for sale, this will need to be setup first.
- Self-fulfilled Products need to be defined, including how they will be shipped and how you will accept payment.
- Digital Products must be setup with a specific license agreement for how the product may be used.
- Packages need to be defined with a set selling price.
Selling products fulfilled by Zenfolio partner labs is the easiest solution as they are already pre-defined. Once all the products have been created, they will need to be added and configured in a price list, before they can be added to any photograph or sets of photographs. Price Lists explain in detail the process of creating, configuring, and implementing a price list for your products. After your price lists have been implemented, you will want to use Reports to keep track of sales, and transferring payouts for sales completed.
