Fotomoto Lets Photographers Sell Photos On-Site

Fotomoto is an e-commerce system specifically designed for photos. If you are a photographer or you operate a website with a big photo inventory, Fotomoto helps you monetize your photos and sell them in a professional way – on your own website. You will sell without any hassle (when I'm writing you can sell prints of your photos, they are going to add other products). You can set the prices and Fotomoto takes care of everything: processing orders right on your website, processing payments, making prints and shipping it to the customers on your behalf.

With a couple lines of code on your website, Fotomoto provides an instant photo commerce solution for websites and blogs. It enables photographers, magazines, blogs, non-profit organizations, news agencies, and sports and celebrity websites to sell photos on their own websites.

With Fotomoto you can instantly attach a ‘Buy Print‘ and ‘Send as E-card‘ button to all of your sellable photos – see an example in my “work in progress and test portfolio”. The button ‘knows' the pricing and availability of the photos, and keeps track of photo editions. It allows visitors to easily place orders for photos without leaving the website. The Cart appears on the top right corner (you can customize the position).

There is no subscription fee for using Fotomoto, what you pay is the cost of the print plus a 15% transaction fee. This means that adding Fotomoto to your site is free. If you want to try request an invitation. Fotomoto sign-up is now open.
