I have a new storefront!

But NOW I have eliminated the seperate gallery and have customers/guests go to the same storefront, which now looks AMAZING! It has all the copyright info I wanted, disabled the option to right click and save-as, watermarks the photos, and actually displays a decently sized proof.

Not to mention the endless package/deal options that are super-easy to edit!

So yeah, I'm on cloud 9 now!

And the service I use now is www.PhotoReflect.com, and am currently using their FREE Web Edition.

Anyway, I would like some feedback on my page just to make sure things make sens and the page actually looks alright... http://fight2flyphoto.photoreflect.com

Thank you for looking and taking the time to respond! If anyone else is looking for a great storefront that's ree with nearly endless features, give them a try!

With Photoreflect, there are two options for fulfilling an order. You can have a labpartner of Photoreflect handle the printing and shipping of the order, or you can choose to fulfill the order yourself. If you choose to fulfill the order yourself, you use the lab that you're familiar and happy with and proceed with the order just as you would if you were not using this service. In other words, you handle the process of getting the photos in your clients' hands.
Photoreflect takes a 15% cut of your order total plus a small processing fee, then sends you a check for the balance of the order.
You have to make sure that you mark the orders as shipped once you mail out an order, otherwise you won't receive your check. It's fairly evident what you have to do when you download their web program.
And, honestly, their web edition is all you'll need to process orders if you regularly work in photoshop.
The full retail version has studio management features as well as more photo editing features, but I wouldn't really make use of them.
If you choose to use this, make sure you set up your sales tax rate per your location because that has to be included as part of the order, providing YOUR customer is in the same state you are in, which is probably most of the time. And since I'm not set up to take credit cards in my studio, if a customer has to use a credit card, I set up a custom package via photoreflect and then the customer can place their order online through them and pay by credit card.

It's really a nice service. I would recommend it.
