PhotoCart - PhotoStore

[FocusingOnFlorida]

I found this about a few months back and have been using it successfully to sell photos via my website. It is PHP and runs directly form your server. The customer service is awesome. I have had a few problems and found the owner / developer to be quite helpful. Some programming kowledge is needed if you plan to implement it yourself or for a small fee, Tim will set it up for you.(The store, not your part of setting up the particulars inside). It is a one time fee to buy it and he receives no commision on the work you sell. You can accept Credit Cards via PayPal quite easy as well.

Here is Tim's site Photography Shopping Cart | Photocart | Photographer Flash Websites - Pictures Pro

And you may check out my site to see it running. Visit the Photo Gallery.

I too have been searching for a good online proofing software. I saw this before but didn't like the fact that knowing some html was a good thing and almost necessary. Anyway, I went with photoreflect.com. Seems really nice so far and my customers really like it. I would rather pay a small fee like $280 vs 18% per order. But maybe later.

So how easy is it to implement? Any pros or cons you want to share?

I had Tim do the install and set it up for the database do to lack of time here. It was, I think, an extra 20 dollars. I was able to go throught the store within a couple of days and have all of the settings right. When I got stuck, I went to his support forum. Lots of good info and hints in there. I made some requests for reporting in the next version, and in the next version there is was. If I email Tim directly, he generally replies back in the same day. The whole system ended up being very easy, but then again I do web design at work. I won't say there won't be a slight learning curve, but I expect that with most things anymore. (even an update to a camera)
