Internet Photography Business Software?

February 16th, 2010 by admin

Hi. I’d like to start a pet and event photography business and I have a question about internet photo purchasing software. I’d like to know if there is a software out there which would let me post thumbnails of photos-for-purchase on a website. I envision a gallery of thumbnails- much the same as free photo websites such as flickr or facebook.

These thumbnails, however, would be protected by a digital "Sample" watermark. Clients could view them freely and then choose which ones to purchase. Clients then pay either full price and I would mail them the prints, or pay half price for the watermark to be removed so that they could print the photos at home.

Obviously, clients would have to be able to enter credit and debit card numbers on this website, so it would have to be a software which is https compatible.

Does software of this type exist? Thanks.

    Well you can do it two ways (that I know of).

    1. Buy a domain (website), get it hosted somewhere. (I buy my domains from godaddy.com and host my own websites).
    Then you can buy software such as Adobe Dreamweaver. Design your own website. Go to paypal and you can put shopping carts on the website. People can order that way, with accepting paypal, credit card/debit card.

    2. Buy a domain, get it hosted. Go to oscommerce.com and use a oscommerce layout to create your website to have shopping carts.
