E-Commerce

The PhotoShelter E-Commerce system allows you to sell images directly to your clients with the following types of licenses: Unlike other systems, you are the agent of sale, and you receive the funds from the buyer at the point of sale. PhotoShelter takes a 10% transaction fee on each sale which is appended to your subsequent month's bill.

With all sales options, you retain your copyright, as dictated by our licensing agreements that apply to any transaction conducted through PhotoShelter.

Selling is Easy

There are a few main steps you must take in order to sell your images through PhotoShelter:
  • Configure PayPal or merchant account
    • Unlike other systems, you collect the funds at the point of sale, so you need a way to collect the money. Learn more.
  • Create a Pricing Profile
    • The profile determines a price for each product/print size. Learn more.
  • Apply a profile to images.
    • You can apply a profile singularly or in batch. Learn more.
