I currently mat, frame, and ship prints all over and would like to have the option of selling unframed artwork also. I am sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but is it pretty simple to just have a link of prints to buy that directs over to smug or do I need to send my whole site over there?

Hey PChicken :)

Currently we don't allow customers to just use our shopping cart, printing lab BUT we do want to offer that in the future.

For the time being, you need to have your photos on SmugMug to be ordered and printed.

Let me know if that is what you were asking?

Yep, just go and sign up for a SmugMug account, upload all your photos there. Then put a link on your current website titled "photos" or "galleries" etc that will link directly to your SmugMug account.

If you buy the Power or the Pro account and want to buy another domain name, feel free to go here: www.smugmugdomains.com This will mask the "smugmug" in the URL.

I know this is probably a stupid question but what size prints are available from the account? I see the 5x7 and 4x6 is larger available?

If you enter the code: TPF in the coupon code area when signing up you will get 20% discount off your 1st year service.

If you are coming over from a competitor, just PM which one it is and I will give you a coupon code for 50% off. :)

Markham, you don't consider "self hosting" to be a competitor, do you? :-)
