Web 2 print website for photo products

[PhotoGuy]

Hi, hope all is well.

I own a photo printing shop and have been selling photo gifts, canvases etc on various platforms such as Etsy, eBay etc over the last few years and it's going good.

I would like to be able to sell on my own site, which will need to be developed, any recommendations for companies that work in this field?

I would like to create products or templates where customers would be able to add their own photos as well as edit them so it'd eliminate my part of getting back to them with a sample etc. Some products are one picture whilst others such as calendars would be 13 pages. Would also like the ability for customers to be able to upload photos, order prints and therefore change crop etc.

I'm open to platform suggestions etc as I'm seeking advice. Would need to be able to integrate with a shipping platform (currently use Click & Drop with OBA).

Suggestions/recommendations would be welcomed and if possible a rough guide of cost. Feel free to send me a message for more info or if any questions come to mind.

Thanks

There are a bunch of ready made platforms for this. From memory it's not overly cheap each month but then nor is a bespoke solution.

Worth an hour on Google to get a better guage if what you want / don't want.

Agree with @Solve My Problem - I did some work a few years back for a company using one of these applications (and they are very complex). There are two main options: 1. You choose an application that rns the whole site or 2: it's an extension to your existing site.

There are some applications that do the whole fulfillment thing. You take the orders and they stock the products, print and dispatch.

It's likely you won't find exaclty what you want off the shelf but it will be close enough to trial. Then if you start making money you can pay for customization.

Have a look at the design and buy tool on this site https://www.rusticstone.net/commemorative-opening-plaques-and-stones/

It is used for engraving on slate or stone house signs but I should think would work just as well on a blank canvas.

Let me know if that is the sort of thing you are after and I will put you in touch with the site owner

I'd echo the above that these platforms are complex, so if you need anything custom developed it will be expensive.
