You can always buy your own prints on any of our plans, and you'll receive products at the base product price from our lab partners as long as you're logged in. There are several ways to purchase your own prints.
Purchasing with Visitor Shopping enabled in the gallery settings:
Collage and Thumbnail gallery styles:
- In these styles, both you and your guests will see a circle icon upper left on your photos when you hover over an image.
- Use the circle icon to either multi-select or single select your photos.
- Or use the Select Photos to Buy button to start selecting or deselecting ability images and products to purchase.
- After selecting, proceed to the Choose Product button. This opens the Buying Options where you can choose the product(s) and sizes to Add to Cart.
SmugMug and Journal gallery styles:
- For SmugMug Style use the Buy Photo button in the gallery upper right to purchase the image you are viewing.
- For Journal Style use the Buy button lower right of each image to open the product selection page to choose the desired product then Add to Cart.
- When you are finished selecting images and products use View Cart to Begin Checkout.
Lightbox View (all gallery styles)
- Click on any photo to open it individually in the Lightbox view.
- Once in the Lightbox, select the Buy Photo button to choose your products and make a purchase.
Purchasing with Visitor Shopping disabled in the gallery settings:
If you've disabled visitor shopping in your gallery settings, you can still purchase your own prints. It is the same process as the above purchasing for the different gallery styles.
You can change visitor shopping options per gallery in the Selling tab of your Gallery Settings.
Toggle the Visitor Shopping Cart option to ON to allow visitors to buy prints and gifts, and set it to OFF to prevent visitors from buying.
Note: Profits are only earned on visitor purchases on the Portfolio and Pro plans when a custom pricelist has been created.
