Package pricing

[Dobick]

Hello Smugmug!

I am wondering if smugmug has the ability to let me offer packages for sale?

I am not currently a smugmug client, and my current sales portal does not have the ability to offer packages. I know from using the search function on the forum, that this was addressed back in 2007 by a company representative as something that was on the radar for smugmug to implement. So now that we are in the second half of 2009, surely I missed the announcement, and this functionality has been inplace for the last 4 or five months and ya'lls website FAQ just hasn't been updated yet.


Thank you,
Kent

It is at the top of their priority list, but not implemented yet. The word is they are actively working on it and I am another one who is anxiously waiting for it.

I am a member though - the service was worth it even without the packages (yet).

Exactly right, we are working on it.

That's what they said over a year ago.

even without the package pricing, it's still worht it...yes they have been working on it for a while, but the other things that have come out since then are just as great
I offer packages as well, but I can customize my pricing so that my clients still get a good deal

I am almost positive I did not say we were working on it a year ago. I am very positive I said it was high on our todo list or planning on it. We didn't actually start working on it until this year.

Just wanted to bump this topic? My subscription with the other company will be coming due in a short while, and I wanted to see if there was a reason that I should switch to SmugMug or not?

I am curious to know since you have started using BayPhoto labs why is the wait so long?

it probably has more to do with their software than the print company.

It is my understanding, from talking with someone else, that they're working on coupons as well but can't get their software to work in the desired manner at this time.

Just my guesses...I could be way off base or heard wrong so please don't shoot me :(

The creation of Coupons and Packages has nothing to do with Bay Photo. We are already live and integrated with them already.

Software is crazy and making these features work in all browsers is crazy. But, never fear we are beating them into submission and working as fast as we can.

Thanks again for your patience, we know it has been a long time waiting.
