I’ve spent a ton of time researching the last month regarding this. I’m kicking off a photography business that I would like to do this very much with.

I’ve found after much searching that Smugmug.com is the best resource for me.

They offer tons of options for prints, as well as many fun things for people like mugs, mouse pad, t-shirts, etc with your photos. You can buy a ‘pro’ account for $149 a year and basically you use their edit tool to set the price for each item, or $0.00 if you don’t want to offer it, and they take 15% of the total profit after deducting their cost eir cost for printing the item to pay for the POS and credit card fees, and make a little money.

I’ve found other sites, but they either just offered a front end 30% tag and you were still responsible for the printing, or wanted a rather high monthly fee (as high as $100 a month). I’ve found that smugmug was perfect for me as starting out business to do just what was described in the voice message.

Also from a customization standpoint if you’re good with HTML/CSS they have a ton of tools to let you make the site look a lot like you and nothing like them as well.

That being said if you sign up after checking out their free 14 day trial, please use my email address (thescribeoflight at gmail.com) and I get a $5 credit and you get a $5 credit
